Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players frequently return whenever there is any new TERA Raid on the horizon and that horizon has come a whole lot closer with the Mewtwo Tera Raid reveal. Fans will no doubt be highly excited about this upcoming battle but there is plenty to do as pre-prep already. No need to be waiting around until Mewtwo arrives!
During the Pokemon Presents stream on August 8, it was shown that the “Get Mew and Mewtwo” event would be running for players right now. You can head to the Mystery Gift section in the game and enter the code “GETY0URMEW” to receive a Mew for your own — a nice little treat, that’s to be sure. Not only that but that Mew will be especially useful for the Mewtwo Tera Raid.

Some extra key wave dates relating to this event are that Wave 1 begins on August 9 then Wave 2 kicks off on August 18 until September 1.
