Gimmighoul Tera Raids are set to make their return in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/em> and Violet<\/em>, which means it\u2019s round two for the most dedicated Shiny hunters.<\/p>
From Aug. 9 to 22, Gimmighoul will appear in special Tera Raids in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/em> and Violet<\/em><\/a> to celebrate the World Championships<\/a> (Aug. 16 to 18), according to Serebii<\/a>. These raid battles will range from one to five stars, but it\u2019s the five-star raids you’ll want to watch out for. That\u2019s because Gimmighoul\u2019s Shiny variant is exclusive to the five-star raids during this event, and it\u2019s only the second opportunity we\u2019ve ever had to hunt for it. In fact, the last time these raids were around to catch Shiny Gimmighoul<\/a> was last summer.<\/p>
While this is exciting news for Shiny hunters who need to collect Shiny Gimmighoul and Shiny Gholdengo, the odds may not be in their favor if it\u2019s anything like last time. The first time around, there was reportedly<\/a> a one in 4,103.05 chance to encounter Shiny Gimmighoul, which is worse odds than the average Shiny.<\/p>
Given how long it takes to check each Tera Raid for a Shiny, you can imagine how tedious it would be to hunt for Shiny Gimmighoul with these slim odds. I\u2019m really hoping they increase the Shiny odds so I can finally get my hands on the tiny Shiny and evolve it into one of the coolest Gen IX \u2018mons\u2014Gholdengo. But at the very least, trainers will still have around two weeks to find one of the rarest Shinies in the game<\/a>.<\/p>
Now, if you\u2019re eager to hunt for Shiny Gimmighoul but aren\u2019t sure how to beat the raid, we do have a guide with strong builds and counters<\/a>. It\u2019ll also depend on what Tera Type Gimmighoul has, so make sure you bring a Pok\u00e9mon that can at least hit its Tera Type for super-effective damage. Gimmighoul is by no means one of the strongest Pok\u00e9mon out there, but you shouldn\u2019t underestimate what it can do in a five-star raid with moves like Nasty Plot and Shadow Ball. <\/p>
Don\u2019t miss your chance to encounter the rare Shiny before the event ends on Aug. 22. In the meantime, you can start collecting a ton of Gimmighoul Coins to evolve your Shiny Gimmighoul into Gholdengo<\/a>\u2014if you\u2019re lucky enough to find one in the first place.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
