Should you run the Walking Wake / Iron Leaves event in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?

Without even a minute to rest from the surprisingly difficult Pikachu event, Game Freak has given us another Tera Raid challenge to tackle. Just to keep us on our toes, this challenge is a notable departure from the events we’ve seen until now.

Walkling Wake and Iron Leaves are two brand new Paradox Pokemon making their debut in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. Like other Paradox Pokemon, these monsters feature incredible base stats that will be boosted even further via the Protosynthesis and Quark Drive abilities respectively. Both Pokemon can only be obtained via this event, which will run until March 12. Fortunately, Game Freak has specified these monsters “may be… obtainable through other methods,” so another opportunity to catch them may show up in the future.

Walking Wake and Iron Leaves are technically versions exclusive to Scarlet and Violet. I say technically because you can freely join online lobbies for each monster regardless of which game you own. As long as you have Nintendo Switch Online, nothing’s stopping you from catching these past and future creatures yourself.

Although this challenge only sports a 5-Star difficulty level, it otherwise follows the rules of 7-Star Tera Raids. Each Pokemon can only be obtained once per save file, and they will always appear with the same Tera Type. Walking Wake features the Water Tera Type, while Iron Leaves uses the Psychic Tera Type. This event is way easier to strategize around relative to other 5-Star events, though these foes can catch you off guard with their sheer damage potential. Let’s go over them.

Of these two encounters, Walking Wake is by far the easier fight. At the beginning of the battle, Walking Wake will use Sunny Day to activate its Protosynthesis ability.
