... Read moreHey fellow trainers! I'm still buzzing from my latest epic catch in Pokémon GO – a magnificent Shiny Landorus! You know that moment when the sparkles appear and you realize it's a shiny? Pure adrenaline! This legendary Pokémon, originally from the Unova region, is a true standout in its shiny form. Instead of its usual brown and beige, my shiny Landorus gleams in a vibrant orange and white, with that distinctive brown tail, making it incredibly eye-catching. Catching a Shiny Landorus is no small feat, especially since it primarily appears in 5-star raids. From my experience, you really need to prepare for these battles. Make sure you have a strong team of ice and water-type Pokémon, as Landorus (Ground/Flying type) is doubly weak to ice attacks. My go-to always includes Mamoswine and Kyogre, but even strong Glaceon or Swampert can make a huge difference. Don't forget to use your best mega evolutions for that extra boost! The raid boss CP can be intimidating, but with enough trainers (I usually aim for 5-7), it's totally doable. The thrill of defeating it and then seeing those shiny sparkles is unmatched! Once you've beaten the raid, the real test begins – the catch! Unlike regular Pokémon, shiny legendaries from raids have a 100% catch rate if you hit them, so focus on getting excellent throws. I always use a Golden Razz Berry to maximize my chances, even though it's technically guaranteed. It just feels right! My shiny Landorus currently boasts a solid CP of 2198, which is fantastic for battles. For those curious about its exact stats, my Landorus came with 129/129 HP, weighs in at about 104.68kg, and stands 1.54m tall. These stats make it a formidable opponent in the Master League or even for gym defense, thanks to its unique Ground/Flying typing which resists a lot of common attacks. Beyond just its battle prowess, having a shiny legend like Landorus is fantastic for your collection. It's a symbol of dedication and a bit of luck! Remember to save up your Stardust (my Landorus needed 8,833 Stardust for its initial power-up, plus 3 Landorus Candy and 3 Landorus Candy XL) for powering it up to its full potential. My advice for anyone hunting this shiny: stay patient, join your local raid groups, and don't give up! Every raid is a new chance, and sometimes, all it takes is one lucky encounter to add this stunning orange and white Ground/Flying type to your roster. Happy hunting, trainers!
