Arguably, the most important information you need for the Tera raid events is the knowledge of when exactly the event starts. After all, there is actually only a small window of opportunity to do the event and if you are not aware of when the event starts, you can actually miss it and not be able to get yourself an event Drifblim at all.

Luckily, we are here to help. If you want to take on the Drifblim Tera raid event in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you need to look out for the raids starting on January 20th. The event raids end on January 22nd. Once it hits the 23rd, you will no longer be able to take on the event of the Drifblim Tera raids.

Now that you know when the Drifblim Tera raid starts, you need to prepare which Pokemon you will want to bring. First things first are that Drifblim can be any Tera type. But thanks to the picture provided at the announcement for the Tera raids, we know that a good chunk of the Drifblim raids will be Dark Tera type.

With this in mind, we can make a plan. Bringing a Fighting-type like Iron Hands is a good idea for the Dark Tera-type Drifblim. Iron Hands is also an Electric-type Pokemon, so it will resist Drifblim Flying-type moves. In the case of the Drifblim not being a Dark Tera-type, bring Pokemon like Hydreigon or Maushold, which will resist or be immune to Drifblims natural move pool.
