- From Friday 7 of April at 01:00, to Monday 10 of April at 00:59

Tricks to Defeat Samurott
Samurott is the final evolution of the fifth generation Water-type Pokemon, Oshawott. Therefore, it is Water Typealthough this specimen also has Teratipo Bicho.
That means it’s weak against pokemon or moves from Fire, Rock and Flying typesalthough taking into account that before the teracrystallization it will use water movements, it is better not to carry one of fire.
What Oshawott doesn’t have are ice moves, so Pokemon from Dragon type are also recommended. Some good counters to beat Samurott are:
- Salamance
- Corviknight
- Azulmarill
- Cloyster
- Koraidon
Conditions to participate in Teraincursiones of 7 stars
You cannot participate in these Tera-raid events just like that. They are raised for those players who have passed the postgame and the lathe of the Academy at the end of the game several times, to be able to fully train your Pokemon.
-You must be connected to the Internet: The game will not connect by itself unless you enter the Poké portal and connect by pressing L, select Mystery Gift and Receive news from the Poképortal.
You will automatically download the latest news from the Poképortal, and you will be able to find the Teraincursion somewhere on the mapyou will recognize it by being a black symbol, with the teratype symbol it has (in the case of Samurott, bug).
-You must have passed the game and part of the postgame: Specifically, you must have watched the credits of the game and then completed the Grand Academy Fight Tournamentwhich requires winning a rematch with all eight gym leaders and then winning a four-fight tournament in a row at the Plateau City Academy.
-You must have passed at least 10 teraincursions of 4 or 5 stars so that you get the Teraincursions of 6 and 7 stars (which are the ones of the events).
OJO: This does not mean that you cannot participate if you have not passed the postgame. If a friend invites you to their teraincursions online, you can participate. Another thing is that you have Pokemon with a sufficient level to stand up to him, although they can always lane you to get your long-awaited Samurott.
-You need to pay for Nintendo Switch Online to play teraids online: You will not need it to participate in them, but if you do not have the paid online, you will play with coaches controlled by the AI.
-Only one Teraincursion comes out per day for each player, although you can repeat it as many times as you want until you win. You can only capture one at a time. You can then help other players and get other rewards, such as EXP Candy and Teralites, but you can only capture it once.
