Pokémon Go Now Features New Shiny Pokémon

Check Out The Brand New, Shiny Pokemon

Pokémon Go is certainly not dead, and it seems there may have been a bit of a revival since “Detective Pikachu” hit theaters.

Pokémon Go will be adding another Shiny Pokémon next week, and this time it’s a Legendary Pokémon. Earlier on May 23, the mobile game announced plans for the next few weeks of Legendary Raid battles, with several Legendary Pokemon returning for a new set of raids.

The Legendary Pokémon Cresselia, Groudon, and Kyogre will all be returning to Raids in the coming weeks. Cresselia will appear in raids from May 27th through June 18th, while Kyogre will return from June 18th to June 27th, and Groudon will appear from June 27th to July 10th.

Bronzor will appear in Tier 1 Raids, while Clampearl will be one of the possible Tier 2 Raid bosses. Additionally, trainers will receive twice the usual amount of Stardust and XP for participating in Raids.

Shiny Pokémon are Pokémon with variant colorations and are rare.

The new raid schedule also revealed that Gen 5 Pokémon would not be making its way to the game anytime soon. The game just finished wrapping up its rollout of Gen 4 Pokémon, so it will be a while until the game makes any further updates.

The new Legendary Raids begin next Monday, May 27th.
