Trainers in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have achieved an impressive milestone, unlocking Shiny Wo-Chien as a special reward after defeating the Legendary Pokemon in Tera Raid battles more than three million times. This collective effort means players can soon add this rare variant to their teams through Mystery Gift distribution starting August 7.

Wo-Chien, one of the four Treasures of Ruin Legendaries in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, is a formidable Grass/Dark-type Pokemon typically found sealed in shrines across Paldea. Known for its defensive capabilities and powerful moves like Ruination and Leaf Storm, this normally Shiny-locked Pokemon became available in special Five-Star Tera Raids following the July 22 Pokemon Presents showcase.

The global Pokemon community rallied to complete the challenge, with over 3.5 million successful raids recorded by July 31 - far exceeding the one million target needed to unlock the distribution. From August 7 at 8:00 PM Eastern Time through September 30, trainers can claim their Shiny Wo-Chien along with bonus Tera Shard Sets through the Mystery Gift feature.

Current Mystery Gift Offers (August 2025)

• Shiny Wo-Chien - Available August 7 to September 30
• Version-exclusive tracksuits (Scarlet: STRACKSU1T, Violet: VTRACKSU1T)
• Elemental Evolution Stones (ELEMENTST0NES, expires January 2026)
• Special Rotom Phone cases for both versions
• Sandwich ingredient set (P3LD3AP1CN1C)

While details about the Shiny Wo-Chien's exact moveset and level remain undisclosed, it's expected to arrive in a Cherish Ball. This marks the only legitimate way to obtain this rare variant currently. Notably, claiming the gift requires internet access but doesn't need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

As the Wo-Chien raids conclude on August 3, the next challenge emerges with Shiny Chien-Pao, the Ice-type member of the Treasures of Ruin, appearing in Five-Star Tera Raids. The Pokemon community now watches to see how quickly trainers will complete this new objective.

This special distribution continues Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's tradition of rewarding player participation in global events. With the Treasures of Ruin being some of Paldea's most powerful Pokemon, obtaining their Shiny forms presents a unique opportunity for dedicated trainers.
