Game Freak announced a Mewtwo Tera Raid is coming to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, as well as a code to get Mew. The special event was confirmed during the August 2023 Pokemon Presents conference, which largely focused on the upcoming Generation 9 DLC, The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk. Players will be able to team up with Mew to take on the iconic Pokémon Red and Blue Legendary for a limited time in September.
Players can redeem their Mew in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet using the code GETY0URMEW starting today on August 8, 2023. That code is good until September 18, 2023. However, the actual Mewtwo Tera Raid doesn’t go live until September 1, 2023.
The Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Mewtwo Tera Raid event will run from September 1, 2023 until September 17, 2023. Winning it lets you catch a Mewtwo with the Mightiest Mark. If you take on Mewtwo with the Legendary Mew on your team, something “special” will happen. To start the event, you will need to have already unlocked black Tera Raid Battles by beating the main story campaign. There will also be Tera Raid battle events between August 9-17, 2023 and August 18-31, 2023 to get special items to prepare.

Mewtwo will make its Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Raid boss debut as a Psychic Tera-type, so players will want to use their best Ghost, Dark, and Bug-type Pokemon to counter it. While Mewtwo will only be available for a limited time, it’s likely the Legendary will return in the future if the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Tera Raid events are anything to go by.
Here’s the trailer:
Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet are available on the Nintendo Switch, with the Mew code available until September 1, 2023 and the Mewtwo Tera Raid starting on September 1, 2023.
