Event Schedule

Raid Event Overview

Walking Wake and Iron Leaves are coming back to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet for 10 days, starting Thursday at 8pm eastern. Walking Wake will appear in Pokémon Scarlet, while Iron Leaves will appear in Pokémon Violet.

These Pokémon can only be caught once per save file, so if you've already caught these two new paradox Pokémon during a previous event, you won't be able to catch them again.

Walking Wake

Walking Wake is a Water/Dragon type and has a Water Tera type for this raid event.

Iron Hands is a viable soloing option. Equip Iron Hands with Life Orb to boost its damage. Ensure its Attack IVs and EVs are maxed out.

Recommended move order

• Open up the fight on turn 1 with a Belly Drum.
• On turn 2, use Charge.
• On turn 3, use Wild Charge. This should knockout Walking Wake in 1 turn.

Iron Leaves

Iron Leaves is a Grass/Psychic Pokémon and has a Psychic Tera type. Steel resists both Grass and Psychic, making Gholdengo a viable option for soloing Iron Leaves.

While there are many viable options for soloing this raid, I went with Gholdengo for its steel & ghost dual typings.

Recommended move order

• Nasty Plot x3
• Metal Sound x2
• Shadow Balluntil knockout
