Take another crack at the Rock-Tera Type Chesnaught.
Best not to miss out on a fierce battle with Chesnaught, who has returned to Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet 7-star Tera Raid Battles. The Spiny Armor Pokémon will appear at black Tera crystals from Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. PDT to Thursday, April 30, 2026, at 4:59 p.m. PDT.
The Chesnaught appearing during this event has Rock as its Tera Type. This Pokémon is a formidable foe, and it’s got the Mightiest Mark to prove it. Work together with your friends to break through its solid defense!
Whenever you see a sparkling pillar of light shining from a Tera Raid crystal, you can walk up to the crystal and interact with it to start a Tera Raid Battle with a Tera Pokémon. To find the Tera Pokémon featured in this event, you’ll also need to have downloaded the latest Poké Portal News. To do so, follow these steps:
- Select Poké Portal in the X menu.
- Select Mystery Gift.
- Select Check Poké Portal News.
To challenge Rock–Tera Type Chesnaught with the Mightiest Mark, Trainers will need to either complete the postgame events that follow the main story or join a 7-star Tera Raid Battle hosted by a Trainer who has completed those events. This special Chesnaught can be caught only once per save data. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Chesnaught if you’ve already caught it to obtain other rewards—including significant amounts of Exp. Candy for leveling up your Pokémon, treasures that can be sold at Pokémon Centers, items for improving your Pokémon’s stats, and Rock Tera Shards for changing your Pokémon’s Tera Type.
After you’ve taken on Chesnaught in battle, why not bring it home with you? The Chesnaught Sitting Cuties Plush is currently available on Pokémon Center!
