How to Catch Tera Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

The steps to catch a wild Tera Pokemon are pretty simple.

  1. You would have to first break their Tera form by getting their HP down to a particular level.
  2. However, keep in mind that when you do this, don’t knock down all of their HP.
  3. Leave a little so that they don’t faint. Once they have come back or reverted to the original form, like other Pokemons, you can simply catch them by throwing a Pokeball by pressing X.
  4. You can identify Tera Pokemons by a sparkling gold aura that they have and by the Crystal-like look that they maintain during battles.

We know that if you ever happen to see one of them (given the fact that they’re rare), it’s rather tempting to catch them.

It is crucial for you to make a note of the fact that the Tera Pokemon will disappear if you decide that you should run away owing to the fact that it has a higher level.

The same will happen if you defeat or catch them. So, ensure you are engaging with them only when you feel you are ready enough.

On a positive note, the happening of this does not mean that the Pokemon is gone forever.

They respawn every day, which means that if you come back to the same place tomorrow or any other day, you’ll find them.

Do make sure that you utilize the buffs and special items to make your Pokemon even more powerful in the battles and thereby increasing your chances of getting the wild Tera-type Pokemon.

That is all that we had on how to catch Tera Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
