Shiny Zeraora Event
Event DurationJune 17, 8:00am PDT ~ June 28, 4:59pm PDT

The mythical Pokemon Zeraora will start appearing in Max Raid Battles! This special Raid Event will not allow you to capture Zeraora right after defeating it. However, all players will have the chance to get a shiny Zeraora if a condition is met!

How To Get Shiny Zeraora

1 Million Players Must Defeat Zeraora

Zeraora

Players will get the chance to obtain a Shiny Zeraora, with one condition... One million players must defeat Zeraora in a Max Raid Battle first! This is an event where players across the world must join together to achieve this goal!

Get Armorite Ore As Well

Additionally, after the first 1 million milestone is reached, players will get 1 piece of Armorite Ore for every 100,000 Trainers that take down Zeraora! The maximum number of Armorite Ore we can get will be limited to 10. This means that all players need to band together to not only hit 1 million, but aim for 2 million after as well! (Armorite Ore is used to teach Pokemon new moves on the Isle Of Armor)

Fight In Dens Across The Wild Area

Zeraora can be found randomly in dens across the Wild Area and The Isle Of Armor! This means that you won't need to buy the DLC to participate in this event.

Zeraora's Weakness & Type

Recommended Counters To Zeraora

3 Quagsire & 1 Grimmsnarl Team

Use Dynamax On Quagsire At The Start

Use Dynamax On Quagsire At The Start

Break down your opponent's shield ASAP by Dynamaxing Quagsire. Make sure that the Quagsire you bring in has the Ability "Unaware".

Set Up Reflect With Grimmsnarl

Quagsire's Unaware needs backup so bring a Grimmsnarl to setup "Reflect" to protect your team from physical attacks. You can also set up Light Screen on the 2nd turn.

Negate Stat Ups With Unaware

The reason we bring an Unaware Quagsire is that it can actually negate the status increases of the opponent, letting you get through the fight safely.

All Rhyperior Team

Have The Lightning Rod Ability

It is recommended to have at least one of the Rhyperiors have a "Lightning Rod" ability. This way, any electric type moves that Zeraora uses guarantees one of the team members boosted Sp. Atk!

Even if you can't get 4 Rhyperiors, it's worth it to have at least one on the team which has the Lightning Rod ability. Given Rhyperior's high defenses and damage, it's a good choice to bring here. Make sure that you don't use Earthquake, as you might kill your teammates. Consider using High Horsepower!

Gastrodon Is Also A Good Replacement

Gastrodon is also a useful Pokemon to have in this Raid Event. Since electric-type moves have no effect on it, it has a good chance of surviving into the later stages of the battle!

Grimmsnarl

NatureAdamant
AbilityPrankster
Held ItemLight Clay
Best MoveReflect, Light Screen, Foul Play

Set up walls with Grimmsnarl's Reflect. On your 2nd turn, use Light Screen to further protect your team. Then hit Zeraora with Foul Play after setting up your defense.

Quagsire

NatureAdamant
AbilityUnaware (Hidden Ability)
Held ItemChoice Band or Expert Belt (if Dynamaxing)
Best MoveHigh Horsepower

The main attacker vs. Zeraora. With Unaware & defensive walls up, this is one of the safest ways to clear the raid. Since Quagsire has rather low damage, non-Dynamaxers should equip a Choice Band. If you're the host and are going to Dynamax, equip an Expert Belt instead.

Rhyperior

If your party does not have a Pokemon with the Lightning Rod ability, you can bring in a Rhyperior! In other cases, you can also have the Solid Rock ability to mitigate super effective attacks against you.

Gastrodon is not known for its Sp. Atk. stat. We can boost this stat using the Choice Spec item, allowing us to use the Earth Power move to deal devastating damage to the Zeraora.

I can confirm that it appears in dens on the isle of armor. I defeated one in the training lowlands area.

You could use double screen grim to help reduce incoming damage and galar weezing with clear smog to debuff. These are good mons to use on the raid team.
