Nintendo cancels Great Tusk, Iron Treads, Chesnaught Tera Raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet due to a bug

While the current weekend was supposed to see the Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Chesnaught Tera Raid Battle events in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, they have been quickly cut short. The developers revealed that they had to suspend all three raids because of a persisting error with the Great Tusk and Iron Treads Tera Raid Battles. They apologized for the inconvenience and will likely address it as early as possible.

Great Tusk and Iron Treads Tera Raid Battle error sees the event suspended in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

All three of the aforementioned Tera Raid Battle events went live on Friday, May 19, 2023, at 12 am UTC. They are scheduled to run until Sunday, May 21, 2023, at 11:59 pm UTC. The official Twitter account of Play Pokemon posted a few hours after that there was an issue with the Great Tusk and Iron Treads Tera Raid Battles that would lead players to face an error.

They announced that they were suspending the 5-star Paradox Pokemon event along with the 7-star Chesnaught Tera Raid Battle event. The developers advised trainers to update their Poke Portal News in-game to its latest version.

While this will happen automatically if your device is connected to the internet, you can also do so by clicking "Check Poke Portal News" in the "Mystery Gift" option in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's main menu. The tweet also mentioned that if players see any of the "affected Raid Battles" in-game, they should avoid them and not participate.

The reported issue results in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players receiving items labeled "None" after successfully completing the Paradox Pokemon Tera Raids. This ends up glitching and crashing the game once trainers exit the reward screen.

The Chesnaught Tera Raid Battle event is in its second phase. The first phase saw the first appearance of the formidable Generation VI dual-type Grass and Fighting Pocket Monster in Paldea. Players could also get Chespin and Quilladin by breeding Chesnaught with Ditto.

The event has been canceled "until further notice." Nintendo assured that they will reveal more information later on regarding the events.
