Pokemon Scarlet & Violet raid events cancelled due to error
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet have seen an absolute whirlwind of bug-related issues since launch. However, this past weekend may mark one of the lowest points for the games yet. First, Pokemon Home integration was prematurely announced and then swiftly recalled, with the note that support would be added “soon.” Then, within the same 24-hour period, dedicated Scarlet & Violet players found that all Tera Raid events scheduled for this weekend were completely pulled.
Game Freak initially announced that trainers could face Great Tusk and Iron Treads as event Tera Raid battles from May 19 to May 21. These two would join the rerun event for 7-Star Chesnaught, who first appeared on May 12. However, players quickly reported rampant crashing issues after finishing these encounters. Subsequently, the Japanese Pokemon Twitter account announced the cancellation of the planned events within hours of their launch. We wouldn’t see confirmation of this news from an official English source until roughly 13 hours later.
No announcement cites the exact source of the crashing. However, players anecdotally shared that they received an item called “None” after fighting Great Tusk or Iron Treads. Regardless of the cause, Game Freak pulled all three Tera Raid events, including the Chesnaught fight that previously worked fine.
The Pokemon Company has announced that any news regarding a rescheduling of these events will come at a later date.
We have identified an issue that could result in an error after facing 5 star Great Tusk and Iron Treads raids in #PokemonScarletViolet. These Raid battles will be suspended, including Chesnaught with the Mightiest Mark. https://t.co/CqJ4jBqJKg
