Pokemon GO has different legendary Shiny monsters available to catch, and among them falls Shiny Therian Forme Thundurus. The Standard and Shiny variants of Therian Forme Thundurus share the exact CP and stat, making it a highly sought-after creature for collectors. The process requires extensive meta-knowledge and intense grinding, since it is extremely hard to encounter a legendary Shiny due to its rarity.

Therian Forme Thundurus comes as a 5-star raid boss, and winning against it might reward players with a Shiny encounter. However, defeating such a potent raid boss is extremely hard since its Pokemon GO CP increases significantly during raids. After understanding the monster’s weaknesses and resistance, players must prepare powerful counters to achieve consecutive wins. That said, this guide explores the best way to get Shiny Therian Forme Thundurus in the game.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Therian Forme Thundurus Through 5-Star Raids

Pokemon GO Shiny Therian Forme Thundurus

Pokemon GO trainers must note that Therian Forme Thundurus possesses a maximum Combat Power of 4137, which increases even more as a raid boss. The legendary Pokemon has a stat spread comprising 295 ATK, 161 DEF, and 188 STA, making it an absolute beast during PvP and PvE battle scenarios. Therian Forme Thundurus's prowess gets a significant boost as a 5-star raid boss, so players must band together to defeat it rather than attempt it solo.

Those who defeat Therian Forme Thundurus in Pokemon GO raids might get an opportunity to encounter its Shiny variant. But the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed; players must win numerous raids and spawn several Standard variants to catch up with its Shiny odds. Even after doing so, some may get to encounter a Shiny Therian Forme Thundurus, while others might not.

One must have proper counters to secure a win against Therian Forme Thundurus in raids. The counter selection comes with an appropriate study of the monster’s weaknesses and resistance; carefully selected counters are the key to consecutive wins. It would be highly beneficial if the counters had the Pokemon GO Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) potential attacks.
