How To Get Shiny Celesteela In Pokemon GO

The Steel and Flying-type Ultra Beast Celesteela has a maximum Combat Power of 3507 in Pokemon GO. The maximum CP of this monster increases even more as a 5-star raid boss, making it an extremely powerful existence to defeat. Its stat spread consists of 207 ATK, 199 DEF, and 219 STA, making it an all-rounder during battles. One can win Celesteela raids to get a chance of a Shiny Celesteela encounter. But remember that the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed; players might just encounter a Standard variant even after winning the raid.

The key to getting a Shiny Celesteela encounter is to participate and win multiple Celesteela raids. Doing so can help players spawn numerous Celesteela, which may result in catching up to its Shiny odds. While that is the case, winning consecutively against such a powerful raid boss is exceptionally challenging. One must have proper meta-knowledge and powerful counters to win Celesteela raids in Pokemon GO.

Carefully examine Celesteela’s weaknesses and resistances to select counters to defeat the monster. It would be highly beneficial if the counters possessed the Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) potential Pokemon GO moves that align with the monster’s weaknesses.
