If you’re wondering how to get Flying Tera Type Pikachu that’s normally unavailable in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, here’s everything you need to know.
It’s become a tradition for Pokemon games to offer bonuses for trainers who purchase a game within the first few months of release, and it has been the same with Scarlet & Violet too.
The early purchase bonus this time around was a special Pikachu that knows the move Fly (which it normally can’t learn) and can temporarily become Flying-type when it Terastallizes during battle.
