Poké Portal News
Poké Portal News (Japanese: ポケポータルニュース Poké Portal News) is a feature in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet that expands on the available Tera Raid Battles in the Paldea region, making certain Pokémon more common for a limited time. It can be accessed via Mystery Gift or updated automatically by connecting to the internet in game. Certain species of Terastal Pokémon, some of which are rare, or otherwise unobtainable except via transfer, are made more common through Poké Portal News events.
Beginning in v2.0.1 of Scarlet and Violet, it became possible for event mass outbreaks to occur via Poké Portal News as well, causing certain species of Pokémon to appear more commonly in mass outbreaks, which may have unique traits, such as a higher chance of having a specific mark.
Tera crystals and mass outbreaks associated with a Poké Portal News event will have a thicker, circular, glowing border compared to their typical icons on the map and minimap. Event Tera crystals will additionally be surrounded by several ring-shaped auras when approached.
