There are certain events that Pokémon players just assume will have specific boosts, especially when the advertising for said events directly mentions things like Shiny Pokémon or rare items. Despite that expectation, Shiny Gimmighoul’s debut in Scarlet and Violet isn’t going to be as glorious as some fans would like since the odds of encountering one are not receiving a boost.
Starting after the June 2023 Nintendo Direct today, which showcased the first actual gameplay for Scarlet and Violet’s upcoming DLC, a special Gimmighoul Tera Raid event went live. It runs until July 2, features Gimmighoul (Chest Form) in one to five-star raids, and is the first time players can encounter a Shiny Gimmighoul in the game.
