Pokemon GO regularly debuts new monsters, keeping players’ anticipation and engagement optimum. With the Timeless Travels season, several of the Hisui region monsters, including the Hisuian Samurott, were introduced to the game. Hisuian Samurott is set as a 3-star raid boss, and defeating it provides an opportunity to encounter Shiny Hisuian Samurot.
While Pokemon GO players can encounter Shiny Hisuian Samurot, they still have to defeat the Raid boss to get an opportunity. Hisuian Samurott’s Combat Power (CP) and damage output rise as a 3-star raid boss. Trainers must study the monster’s weakness and resistance to defeat it and secure their chances of encountering a Shiny variant. Defeating the Raid boss with a small team is also possible, but one needs powerful counters in their battle roster. That said, one can go through this detailed guide to get a Shiny Hisuian Samurott.
Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Reshiram
Pokemon GO players can get Shiny Reshiram by following this detailed guide and defeating it in 5-star raids.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Hisuian Samurott Through Raids
Hisuian Samurott is a dual Water and Dark-type monster with a maximum Pokemon GO CP of 3167, which increases even more as a Raid boss. Shiny collectors looking to get their hands on a Shiny Hisuian Samurott must first defeat it in raids. Once players win the Hisuian Samurott raids, a Shiny Hisuian Samurott may spawn near the raid location. While winning the raid provides a chance to encounter Shiny Hisuian Samurott, the Shiny encounter is not guaranteed.
Pokemon GO trainers should win multiple raids to spawn numerous Hisuian Samurott and catch up to its Shiny odds. Winning raids spawns Hisuian Samurott nearby, and repeating it may help trainers match its Shiny spawn rate.
Before joining the Hisuian Samurott raid, players should consider the monster's weaknesses and resistances. The 3-star raid boss is weak to Bug, Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Grass-type attacks but can resist Psychic, Dark, Fire, Ghost, Ice, Steel, and Water-type moves in Pokemon GO. One should select counters that align with its weaknesses and avoid using its resistance. It would be beneficial if the counters also possess the Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) potential moves. When a monster’s innate type and attack type match, using that attack triggers STAB and deals bonus damage to the opponent.

After successfully defeating the Hisuian Samurott 3-star raid, Shiny Hisuian Samurott may spawn nearby. However, trainers should note that the Shiny encounter is not guaranteed; while some players may encounter it, others might not.
Pokemon GO players can also encounter other Hisuian Pokemon during the Timeless Travels season. Alongside Hisuian Samurott, the latest season debuts Hisuian monsters like Hisuian Decidueye and Hisuian Typhlosion.
