Shiny Xurkitree debuts during the Pokemon GO Fest 2024 Location-specific New York City event. Xurkitree is a 5-Star Raid Boss, and winning against it might reward you with a Shiny Xurkitree encounter. But defeating an Ultra Beast as a Raid Boss is extremely challenging and requires proper strategy.
Pokemon GO Legendary Shiny Pokemon are extremely rare, which makes encountering monsters like Shiny Xurkitree hard. You can encounter Shiny Xurkitree as a Raid clearance reward starting from the GO Fest 2024: New York City event on Friday, July 5, at 9:45 PM NT. Although you can encounter Shiny Xurkitree, the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed, and you must win numerous Xurkitree Raids to increase the probability. That said, this guide details the best method to encounter Shiny Xurkitree in the game.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Xurkitree Through 5-Star Raids
You can encounter a Shiny Xurkitree in Pokemon GO by winning Xurkitree raids, but there is no guarantee. There is no surefire way to encounter a Shiny Pokemon in the game, but encountering numerous Regular variants might help match Xurkitree’s Shiny odds. You must win multiple Xurkitree raids to make it happen, but winning against a legendary Raid Boss is tough.
Team up with other Pokemon GO trainers rather than attempting to clear the raid solo. While it is hard to win against the raid boss, you can study Xurkitree’s weaknesses and resistances to select proper raid counters. It would be more beneficial if the Xurkitree raid counters possessed moves with the Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) potential. STAB is a passive effect that activates when a Counter’s innate type and move type match; using that specific move can inflict bonus damage to the opponent.
