Additional Information
You can enter a Tera Raid to battle the Pokémon that is exclusive to the counterpart game by participating in online raids through the Poké Portal.
Walking Wake and Iron Leaves currently have no other method of being encountered in any game, so make sure to add them to your collection during this Tera Raid Event. However, the official event announcement leaves open the possibility of other availability in the future.
If you've already caught them in a previous raid event, you won’t be able to catch them again, but you’ll still receive all the other raid rewards, such as XP Candy, Tera Shards, and other items.
