How to Get Shiny Tapu Koko in Pokemon Go?
One of the Guardian Deities of the Alola Region, Tapu Koko, has a black body with bright orange plumes and yellow armguard-like appendages.
The Shiny version of Tapu Koko in Pokemon Go has its orange parts slightly greyed out, and its armguards are black. It will make its debut with the start of the Raid Hour, about which we will talk later in the article.
Shiny Tapu Koko will be available in Pokemon Go from January 25 to February 1 as a 5-star Raid Boss. However, 5-star raids are extremely rare in Pokemon Go.
However, a Raid Hour event will maximize your chances of catching the Shiny Tapu Koko. The event will take place on January 25 from 6-7 pm local time.
Usually, the odds of catching a Shiny Legendary Pokemon from a 5-star Raid is one in 20 tries. During this hour, all nearby Gyms will feature a 5-star Raid with Tapu Koko as the raid boss. This will be your best chance to find and capture a Shiny Tapu Koko in Pokemon Go.
If you prepare well for the battle against Tapu Koko in Pokemon and defeat the regular version, you can enter the 5-star raid again and repeat the feat. Do your best to follow the guidelines from a raid guide, and you won’t have problems defeating this legendary Pokemon. You need to know that Tapu Koko is vulnerable to Poison and Ground-type attacks.
Pokemon Go is available on iOS and Android.
