Get Ready to Shiny Hunt! Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Announce Golden Week Event

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainers, get your Poke Balls ready! A special Golden Week event is coming, offering increased chances to snag some coveted Shiny Pokemon. This event promises to be a thrilling week for players looking to expand their collection with some golden variants.

From April 29 to May 7, players will encounter Mass Outbreaks featuring Wiglett, Growlithe, and Swablu, all with boosted Shiny odds. These outbreaks will occur in Paldea, Kitakami, and the Terarium respectively, areas teeming with opportunities for dedicated Shiny hunters.

Get ready for the Golden Week event in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet!

But that's not all! Gimmighoul, the Coin Chest Pokemon, will also be appearing in Tera Raid dens throughout Paldea. These raids will range from one-star to five-star difficulty, providing options for trainers of all levels. Just like the Mass Outbreaks, Gimmighoul will also have a higher chance of being Shiny during this period. Trainers will have increased odds of encountering these Shiny Pokemon while the Golden Week event is active.

For those serious about maximizing their Shiny hunting potential, consider preparing a Shiny Sandwich with the Sparkling Power buff. This will further boost your chances of finding those elusive golden Pokemon.

This Golden Week event offers a fantastic opportunity to prepare strategies before the launch of Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Whether you're a seasoned Shiny hunter or just starting out, this event is not to be missed!
