Tips and Tricks

During Raid Day, the shiny odds for Groudon will be 1 in 10. Make sure to complete 10 fights to increase your chances of encountering a Shiny Groudon. It’s important to note that you cannot encounter a Primal Groudon from a raid, only a regular Groudon, which can be shiny. Additionally, Primal Groudon is tough to defeat, so it’s recommended to have at least 6 trainers with optimal counters. Ensure your counters have optimal movesets to maximize your chances of success.
