by

As we eagerly anticipate the launch of “Pokemon Legends Z-A,” Pokemon enthusiasts are finding delightful diversions within “Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.” One such diversion is Shiny hunting, which remains a popular way to keep the excitement alive even after completing the main story. At present, there are enticing Shiny chances in “Scarlet and Violet.” The mass outbreaks of Wiglett, Growlithe, and Swablu persist until May 8th, but that’s not all! Players of “Pokemon Scarlet and Violet” can also encounter the Shiny-capable Chest Form Gimmighoul in Tera Raids from April 29th to May 8th.

In the game Scarlet and Violet, it can be tricky to find Chest Form Gimmighoul as they often conceal themselves in unusual spots like towers’ tops. You can engage in battles and catch these regular Chest Form Gimmighoul, but during normal gameplay, Shiny Chest Form Gimmighoul will not appear. This means that no matter how many Gimmighoul chests you locate, there’s zero chance of them being Shiny. So, the prospect of capturing a Shiny Gimmighoul in this game is quite intriguing for players aiming to complete their Shiny Pokédex collection.

As a fellow Pokémon enthusiast, I can’t help but share some exciting news! While Chest Form Gimmighoul has made an appearance in Tera Raids before, it’s always thrilling to have another chance to hunt for a Shiny Gimmighoul in the captivating world of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. If you’re on the quest for one or simply wish to augment your collection, don’t forget to keep an eye out for this event!

And here’s a fun fact: Shiny Gimmighoul is one of the subtler Shiny Pokémon out there. It might take some keen observation skills to spot the slight change in body color that signifies you’ve found a Shiny Gimmighoul. Good luck, trainers!

During the specified event period from April 29th to May 8th (ending at 4:59 pm PDT), participants can engage in Tera Raids to encounter Chest Form Gimmighoul. This creature will show up in raids ranging from 1-star to 5-star, but only the 5-star version has a chance to be Shiny. If you’re on a Shiny hunting spree, focus your efforts on the 5-star Chest Form Gimmighoul Tera Raids for the best chance at finding a Shiny one.

How to Beat Chest Form Gimmighoul Tera Raids

5-star Tera Raids are more challenging compared to lower tiers, and Gimmighoul in Chest Form Tera Raids introduces an extra layer of complexity. Since it can appear with multiple Tera Types, preparing for these battles can be a bit unpredictable. However, you’ll get a heads-up about the Pokemon’s Tera Type and the difficulty level of the Tera raid before entering the battle.

To effectively tackle Chest Form Gimmighoul during a 5-Star Tera Raid, it’s crucial to know the Tera Type of Gimmighoul beforehand. This knowledge will enable you to choose the right Pokémon for battle, preparing them to withstand the Tera moves and exploit type weaknesses to defeat Gimmighoul within the given time limit.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but share some strategic advice: Ursaluna is often praised as an effective counter to Gimmighoul in most encounters. Pair it with Bisharp and Kingambit for optimal results. However, always remember to verify the Tera Type of your unique Chest Form Gimmighoul during a Tera Raid, to avoid facing one that these Pokemon are vulnerable to, ensuring a smoother battle experience.

The chances of encountering a Shiny Chest Form Gimmighoul in Tera Raids are quite slim, approximately 1/4102. However, by joining numerous 5-Star Tera Raids during the event, you could potentially strike it lucky. And remember, these odds are significantly better compared to normal gameplay captures, as they have no potential for being Shiny at all.
