Maximizing Your Chances: Shiny Shadow Raikou & Optimal Movesets

When it comes to snagging a shiny Shadow Raikou, we're playing by the standard legendary odds of 1/20 for this Pokemon. Picture this: each encounter with a Shadow Raikou hits the reset button, giving you a 1/20 shot at it dazzling you with its shiny brilliance. The trick? Dive headfirst into as many Pokemon GO raids as your schedule permits. Now, we can't guarantee a shiny variant in 30 to 40 raids, but that's the sweet spot where your chances are cooking. It's a bit like fishing - the more lines you cast, the better your odds of reeling in a shiny Shadow Raikou.

Unleashing Shadow Raikou's Thunder: The Best Moveset

Now, let's talk strategy. Shadow Raikou packs a punch with its Electric-type attacks, and you want to ride that lightning for the same type attack bonus. Sure, its attack stat might tempt you to dabble in other types, but options are slim. Here's the scoop on Shadow Raikou's moves:

Charged Moves	Fast Moves
Shadow Ball	Thunder Shock
Thunder	Volt Switch
Thunderbolt
Wild Charge
Frustration

Take your pick from this electric arsenal - almost any combo could be lethal. But, let's get down to the nitty-gritty of the heavy hitters:

• Thunder Shock: A swift attack dealing 5 damage, churning out 8 energy for charged attacks. With a DPS of 8.33, it's a thunderstorm against Flying and Water-types but might fizzle against Dragon, Electric, Grass, and Ground types.

• Wild Charge: A charged attack with a hefty 90 damage, costing 50 energy. It mirrors Thunder Shock's strengths and weaknesses.

• Shadow Ball: For those craving something different, this charged move dishes out 100 damage for 50 energy. With a standard DPS of 33.33, it's a curveball, weak against Normal and Dark types but a powerhouse against Psychic and Ghost types.

So, there you have it - the lowdown on snagging a shiny Shadow Raikou and unleashing its electric fury. Happy raiding, and may your encounters be as electrifying as a lightning strike!
