Your chances of encountering these shiny variants are higher than ever!

Raids are bringing a mix of challenges to keep you on your toes. One-star raids will feature Shellder, Dwebble, and Skrelp, with Skrelp boasting an increased shiny rate. Step up to three-star raids to battle Slowbro, Hippowdon, and the newly debuting Dhelmise. For the ultimate challenge, five-star raids will showcase Enamorus (Incarnate Forme), and Mega Raids will introduce the formidable Mega Tyranitar.
