Pokémon Scarlet And Violet: Wild Tera Pokémon Guide

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet introduce a brand-new mechanic to put a spin on the formula, Terastallizing. This turns your Pokémon into a crystalized version of itself changing its typing and giving power boosts to that specific type. The most interesting part about this mechanic is that Pokémon can have types that they usually do not and this can allow for very strategic battles. 

Each Pokémon has a single Tera Type which when Terastallized in battle makes that Pokémon’s only type become their Tera Type. Henceforth, this means that having Pokémon with rare Tera Types may be key to outplaying your opponent. Imagine the endless possibilities of surprise with the ability to change your type to any other. This why it is key that you catch all the exclusive Wild Tera Pokémon.

The Wild Tera Pokémon 

Around Paldea you will find these yellow glowing beacons. These will pinpoint the locations of static Pokémon which automatically Terastallize once encountered. Wild Tera Pokémon usually have rare Tera Types and act as mini challenges. You can catch them by weakening the wild Pokémon to below half its HP. So remember to be careful around these as you can’t just throw Pokéballs and get lucky… 

Unlike the Tera Raid Dens these Pokémon are not randomly spawning. The game does not list them on its map, therefore, below we have made a map and a list of all the Wild Tera Pokémon to help you hunt them all down! If you see one with a good typing, we will tell you exactly where to find it and what level it is. I suggest bringing a Pokémon which is around the same level and has a move which is Super effective against the single type that the wild Pokémon will become. 

Note that if a Wild Tera Pokémon is caught or defeated all you need to do to challenge it again is wait a day (or change your Switch’s clock forward a day). That means that if you fail one you can try again, you can keep resetting them to get the perfect nature or shiny hunt them as well! 

Wild Tera Pokémon Map

If you click on the map we have made you can check out the precise locations of the spawns! The name tags are exactly on the place where you can find that Wild Tera Pokémon, however if you are still having trouble just look for those yellow beacons. 

Have a look down below to see what types and level each is. Remember that you first must weaken them so be careful if your Pokémon are a lower level. The Pokéball RNG gods cannot save you here! The bolded types mean that this type can be found in the evolution line already. For example the Wild Tera Fletchling is a Fire Tera Type and Talonflame its final evolution is a Fire Flying type.
