Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Free Kingambit

A rare Pokémon is available for free in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet for a limited time. The event, which concludes on September 3, 2026, features a special Dark Tera-type Kingambit.

This is the 92nd Tera Raid event in the games' history. It began on August 28, 2026. Players must defeat this 7-Star raid boss to catch the exclusive Kingambit.

How to Get the Kingambit

To participate, players first need to download the latest Poké Portal news. They can then challenge the Kingambit in a Tera Raid battle with friends or other players online. After defeating it, they can catch it with any Poké Ball. Each save file can only obtain one of these special Kingambit.

Users have confirmed the raid is relatively easy compared to previous battles. Alongside the raid, the event triggers Mass Outbreaks of related Pokémon. Kingambit appears in the Kitakami region, while Bisharp and Pawniard appear in Paldea. All these Pokémon are more likely to have the Charismatic Mark during the event period.

The Games' Ongoing Support

The event is part of ongoing support for the 2022 games. Screen Rant notes this support continues despite a somewhat rough four-year period and the upcoming release of Winds and Waves. This year has seen numerous Tera Raid events, allowing players to battle and catch strong Pokémon.

The source states the era of Scarlet and Violet is ending due to the new game's arrival. These raid events are likely to slow down in the coming months as developer Game Freak prepares for the launch. Fans are encouraged to make the most of the current games while they can.
