Scarlet & Violet Gets A Mighty Pikachu Raid To Celebrate Pokemon Day
Pokemon Day is almost here and suspicions that there will once again be a Pokemon Presents to mark the occasion were confirmed earlier this week.

If you've done that, then be on the lookout for black Tera Raid crystals if you want to have a crack and taking down and catching this powerful Pikachu.
