Pokemon GO features different Mythical, Legendary, and Mega Pokemon as raid bosses. While such monsters already possess amazing capabilities, coming as raid bosses can boost their prowess even further. Winning such raids can reward you with Shiny encounters.
Pokemon GO developers at Niantic significantly boost the Combat Power (CP) of raid bosses, making it extremely challenging to defeat them. Also, since most of these monsters are legendaries, their Shiny counterparts are extremely rare. While preparing proper counters against them is extremely important, trainers must stay updated on the dates and times these raids are set. That said, this guide explores all the Mythical, Legendary, and Mega raids with their exact date and time for January 2025.

Although there is a probability of a Shiny variant spanning after winning the raids, you should know that the Shiny encounter isn't guaranteed. You must win several Pokemon GO raids and encounter numerous Regular variants to match the Shiny odd. Keep in mind that getting a Mega, Shadow, Mythical, and Legendary Shiny Pokemon is extremely challenging.
