One of the things announced during today’s Pokemon Presents is an event that will be going on over the next 8 weeks for a chance to receive a mystery gift for each of the 4 treasures of ruin.
Starting today, each Treasure will be available to battle in the form of a 5 star tera raid for 2 weeks each. In order to obtain them, they must be defeated 1,000,000 times collectively. If that goal is reached, a mystery code distribution will take place on the following Friday after that specific event ends.
It is currently unknown whether you will need to participate in the event to receive the code. I’d guess not, but I also wouldn’t chance it if you want these for your Pokemon Home database to use in future games.
Event Schedule:
[Completed] Shiny Tablets of Ruin (Grass Tera Wo-Chien)
Succeeded with over 3.5 million total defeats
• Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. PDT to Sunday, August 3, 2025, at 4:59 p.m. PDT
Wo-Chien will use Snarl to reduce your special attack, so I’d recommend using a physical attacker despite its ability lowering the physical attack of everyone on the field by 20%
Proven strategy:
- Fire Tera Ceruledge holding a Metranome - spam Bitter Blade - Win
[Live Now] Shiny Sword of Ruin (Ice Tera Chien-Pao)
• Sunday, August 3, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. PDT to Sunday, August 17, 2025, at 4:59 p.m. PDT
Proven strategy:
- Fire Tera Ceruledge holding a Metranome - spam Bitter Blade - Win
Shiny Vessel of Ruin (Ground Tera Ting-Lu)
• Sunday, August 17, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. PDT to Sunday, August 31, 2025, at 4:59 p.m. PDT
Even more likely to spam Snarl, but we’ll see. Ting-Lu is also a ground type, so you’ll want to go with grass, water, or ice. I suspect Ogerpon would be good in either the Teal Mask or Wellspring Mask forms. If you don’t have DLC, even something like Meowscarada spamming Flower Trick would probably work fine if you’re holding a shell bell. However, you’ll probably want something on the physical side (because of snarl and Ting-Lu’s ability which reduces the special attack of everyone on the field by 20%) that has Horn Leech (like Ogerpon)
Shiny Beads of Ruin (Fire Tera Chi-Yu)
best for last IMO
• Sunday, August 31, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. PDT to Sunday, September 14, 2025, at 4:59 p.m. PDT
Probably will be the most difficult just because of how powerful Chi-Yu is. Once again will likely spam Snarl, except this time it will be strong due to the nature of Chi-Yu. You’ll want something that resists both fire and dark because otherwise, It will have a good chance to take you out in a couple hits. Chi-Yu is very frail on the physical side, so something with good special defense that you can make hit hard on the physical side with ground, rock, or water type attacks should make it easier.
