Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players discover that the rare Herba Mystica resource can be earned more reliably from the newly added 7-star Venusaur Tera Raid. It was a big week for fans of the Pokemon franchise as the annual anniversary event revealed plenty of new announcements for current games as well as a tease of the future. The biggest reveal for many was Pokemon Legends: Z-A, bringing players back to the Kalos region and confirming the return of Mega Evolutions. Unfortunately, the teaser trailer didn't reveal much else and with a 2025 launch date, it seems players have a bit longer to wait for new details.
Alongside updates for many of the other current games in the franchise, Nintendo revealed a special Tera Raid event coming to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The event, which began on Feb 27 with Venusaur, will cycle through all of the generation 1 starters as 7-Star battles. While difficult encounters, winning gives players a chance to not only capture incredibly strong versions of Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise, but it also may reward players with rare items. In fact, Scarlet and Violet players have already discovered one of the more rare items in the game can be farmed from the current Venusaur battles.
Following the recent Venusaur Tera Raid event announcement for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, participating players have discovered that the rare Herba Mystica resource has a much better chance to drop as a reward for winning the encounter. It seems the drop rate, while still extremely rare, is largely better than most of the current Tera Raid options available, with one Reddit user posting a screenshot showing they earned four after 1 encounter. The realization has seemingly spurned the Pokemon community into action, with many jumping in and offering tips on the best teams to quickly bring down Venusaur.
Players generally first encounter Herba Mystica during the Path of Legends story inside of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Working with Arven in battling Titan Pokemon and acquiring the resource, players won't be able to actively farm it until after the main campaign has been completed, unlocking 5, 6, and 7-star Tera Raids. The resource is extremely valuable for its use as a potential ingredient for sandwiches, granting a bonus to encountering specific Shiny Pokemon types out in the world or in mass outbreaks.
While fans continue to wait for news on Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company made plenty of announcements during the recent showcase, bringing new legendaries to Pokemon Sleep, adding three playable characters to the Pokemon Unite roster, and more. Fans of the trading card game also got some surprising news as Creatures, Inc showed off a new all-digital game called Pokemon

Following the end of the Charizard Tera Raids,Pokemon Scarlet and Violet revealed that the upcoming Tera raid event will feature Iron Hands and Brute Bonnet in Five-star battles in their respective versions.

There are tons of Pokémon to catch and evolve in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, but few are as quirky as Finizen. This water-type creature can evolve in Palafin — but the process doesn't work like most other evolutions in Scarlet and Violet. Instead of simply bringing them into battle and having them evolve at a set level, there's a very specific action you need to take that'll trigger the Finizen to Palafin evolution. And unless you know how it works, you'll be stuck with Finizen for your entire journey.
An avid Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player discovered that the games may be teasing a connection to the new Pokemon Legends: Z-A game, which was announced on February 27 to celebrate Pokemon Day.
