* As only 5★ Gimmighoul raids were able to be Shiny, the functional chance to encounter a Shiny Gimmighoul raid was 349311/, or approximately ~1/12296, due to the RNG being limited to a , and many of the possible seeds being occupied by 3★ and 4★ raids, which were Shiny-locked.

This event included two notable glitches during its initial introduction at May 19, 2023:
* The item rewards attempted to grant and display TM Materials for Great Tusk and Iron Treads, despite both species not having associated TM Material items. This caused the item rewards screen for some players to display "None" as one of the item rewards, followed by the game crashing.Video clip of glitched TM Materials and game crash for Great Tusk Raid by @Sibuna_Switch, via Twitterhttps://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1659353658163621893

At approximately 02:00 UTC on May 19, 2023,https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1659380996343578624 all event raids were removed from the server (including the 7★ Chesnaught the Unrivaled event), replaced with completely blank event data for any players that connected during this time.

Additionally, an announcement for a 7★ event running from May 26, 2023 00:00 UTC to May 28, 2023 23:59 UTC briefly appeared in the Pokémon HOME calendar on May 21, but was removed almost immediately, likely due to the cancellation of the prior event causing scheduling conflicts.
The Event was later rescheduled to return on June 16 to June 18.
This event occurred at the same time as the second Chesnaught the Unrivaled 7★ raid event period, which was intended to run between May 19 to 21, 2023. Both events were accessible during 00:00 to 02:00 UTC on May 19, 2023, but were cancelled due to the aforementioned glitches, causing no raid event to occur between May 19, 02:00 UTC and May 21 23:59 UTC.

The second event period for Chesnaught occurred at the same time as the Great Tusk and Iron Treads Spotlight 5★ raid event, which was intended to run between May 19 to 21, 2023. Both events were accessible during 00:00 to 02:00 UTC on May 19, 2023, but were cancelled to prevent a glitch with the item rewards from the Great Tusk and Iron Treads raids, causing no raid event to occur between May 19, 02:00 UTC and May 21 23:59 UTC.
===May 1 to 14, 2023===
The 21st Tera Raid Battle event was a repeat of the February 27 to March 12, 2023 event (as a direct responsehttps://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1648612433962110976 to the glitch that occurred during the previous event, allowing players running Scarlet or Violet v1.1.0 to encounter and catch a Bad Egg instead of the correct species), featuring for Pokémon Scarlet players and for Pokémon Violet players in 5★ Tera Raid Crystals from May 1 to 14, 2023. 
Players could only catch one Walking Wake and one Iron Leaves per save file (obtaining Walking Wake does not make the player ineligible to catch an Iron Leaves and vice versa), and players who previously obtained Walking Wake or Iron Leaves during the prior February 27 to March 12 event were ineligible to catch another, although the Tera Raid Battles could be attended repeatedly for additional item rewards.Prepare to Challenge Walking Wake and Iron Leaves! | Poké Portal News
In an attempt at resolving the aforementioned glitch, players were forced to update to Scarlet or Violet v1.3.0 before being able to access online features (preventing players with an outdated game version from accessing the event), and event data is now stored in the savefile in version specific blocks. Due to v1.3.0 detecting if a Bad Egg was present and resetting the capture flag(s) for any players with Bad Eggs, those who previously obtained Bad Egg were permitted to catch another during this repeat event, however the Bad Egg itself was not removed from the affected player's storage.https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1649099785893298180

Released after the 2023 Pokémon Presents, the 13th Tera Raid Battle event featured the newly announced Paradox Pokémon, for Pokémon Scarlet players and for Pokémon Violet players in 5★ Tera Raid Crystals from February 27 to March 12, 2023 at 14:59 UTC. Players could only catch one Walking Wake and one Iron Leaves per save file (obtaining Walking Wake does not make the player ineligible to catch an Iron Leaves, and vice versa), although the Tera Raid Battles could be attended repeatedly for additional item rewards.Challenge Walking Wake and Iron Leaves! | Poké Portal News
Connecting online and updating the Poké Portal News event data while on v1.1.0 of Scarlet or Violet resulted in a glitch. Due to the lack of species data existing in v1.1.0, the Walking Wake/Iron Leaves raids would appear as a Bad Egg instead. If caught, these Bad Eggs cannot be hatched, released, or traded, and catching the Bad Egg also erroneously set the flag for having caught Walking Wake or Iron Leaves, causing the player to be unable to attempt to catch another, even if they updated to v1.2.0 and attempted to join a non-glitched instance of the event raids. Updating the game to v1.2.0 did not result in the Bad Egg becoming the correct species, nor did it reset the aforementioned flag(s).https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1630378458034626564
This glitch was partially resolved with v1.3.0, which reset the capture flag(s) if you had obtained a Bad Egg, allowing players who obtained a Bad Egg previously to catch Walking Wake and/or Iron Leaves during the May 1 to 14, 2023 repeat event, however the Bad Egg itself was not removed from the affected player's storage.
