Pokemon players will soon get a chance to add another shiny legendary Pokemon to their collections. Shiny Rayquaza will appear as a special Tera Raid boss in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet beginning December 19.
Once the event is underway, players will be able to encounter shiny Rayquaza in five-star Tera Raids across the Paldea region. This particular Rayquaza is black in appearance and will be a dragon Tera type, making it susceptible to ice, fairy, and other dragon Pokemon.
Like other special raid bosses, shiny Rayquaza can only be caught once per save file. However, you can continue to participate in the Rayquaza raids and earn additional rewards even after catching one.
The shiny Rayquaza event is scheduled to end on January 5 at 3:59 PM PT / 6:59 PM ET. Even if you miss your chance to get one during the event, The Pokemon Company notes that the legendary Pokemon “may be featured in future events or become encounterable through other methods.” Come from South African Online Casinos
Rayquaza isn’t the only shiny Pokemon that players will have a chance to catch during this event. Other dark-colored shiny Pokemon such as Cetoddle, Carbink, and Fraxure will also be appearing more frequently in mass outbreaks across Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry Academy, respectively.
Scarlet and Violet are also hosting several other in-game events in the lead up to shiny Rayquaza’s arrival, including a mass outbreak of Girafarig. You can see the full event schedule on the games’ official website.
