The Pokémon Go Fest 2024 offers a treasure trove of creatures, including the highly anticipated debut of Necrozma in Raids. But what truly sets this event apart are the Shiny variants, the rarest gems in the game. Here’s how to get Shiny Buzzwole, Shiny Xurkitree, and Shiny Pheromosa during the Pokémon Go Fest 2024.
When will Shiny Buzzwole, Shiny Xurkitree, and Shiny Pheromosa appear in Pokémon Go Fest 2024?
The Global Pokémon Go Fest 2024 event starts on July 13 – 14. During this time, Shiny Buzzwole, Shiny Xurkitree, and Shiny Pheromosa will spawn, along with many other unique Pokémon.
Regardless of your location, every Pokémon trainer across the globe can be part of this grand event. And if you’re looking for an extra edge, consider purchasing a ticket from the Pokémon Go Web Store. It not only unlocks exclusive bonuses but also grants you a chance to encounter the Mythical Marshadow.
Where to find Shiny Buzzwole, Shiny Xurkitree, and Shiny Pheromosa in Pokémon Go Fest 2024
To catch Shiny Buzzwole, Shiny Xurkitree, and Shiny Pheromosa, you must participate in 5 Star Raid battles during Pokémon Go Fest 2024. This mix will include other creatures, such as Nihilego, Celesteela, Kartana, Guzzlord, and Necrozma.
Pokémon Go Fest 5 Star Raid weaknesses and best counters
Going against 5 Star Raid Pokémon is no easy task, but you can exploit their weaknesses:
- Buzzwole: Fairy, Fire, Flying, and Psychic
- Best Counters: Rayquaza, Staraptor, and Moltres
- Xurkitree: Ground
- Best Counters: Groudon, Mega Garchomp, and Shadow Mamoswine
- Pheromosa: Fire, Flying, Psychic, and Fairy
- Best Counters: Rayquaza, Moltres, and Yveltal
Buzzwole and Pheromosa share the same weakness, so Rayquaza and Moltres can be used for both battles. For a better chance at success, try to equip a Mega Rayquaza or Shadow Moltres for their superior attack stats.
While the Shiny variants of Buzzwole, Xurkitree, and Pheromosa aren’t always guaranteed, don’t lose hope. With a bit of perseverance and luck, you may just catch them during the Pokémon Go Fest 2024. Those who have purchased a ticket will also increase their chances of Shiny variants and double their Raid friendship damage.
