PSA: New Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Tera Raid Event And Mystery Gift Now Live

I've actually wanted to add a shiny Gimmighoul to my team for my Scarlet play-through, so this is great... provided that I can find one of the damn things.

@Sisilly_G apparently they DON'T have increased odds and the base Tera raid odds for shinies are WORSE than the regular 1:4092 or whatever it is

@Dom_31 - seems like this needs correcting then

“you have a higher chance of encountering a shiny version of the new Ghost-type Pokémon.”

@Sisilly_G I just hope I don't lose my save...

@Dom_31 : I'm not sure what you mean. Special raids (going back to Sword/Shield) occasionally boast of boosted shiny odds.

@PokemonDMG : You and me both.

@Sisilly_G someone data mined the update/battle and it has base odds, supposedly

I already have that Pokemon, not the shiny one.

@Anti-Matter the shiny form is not at all different only lighter silver but the lvl 75 one, 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ star one's have more Best stats 4 out of 6 and possibly amazing stats for online, and rarer item drops XL candy, ability capsule, gold nugget.

Edit: of course I have Serebii.net to thank for the shiny form comparison.

@PokemonDMG
I played Pokemon games casually, don't really bothering shiny Pokemon.
Also, not really a fan of that treasure box Pokemon.

A couple notes with this event:
1. When it first rolled out, the loot tables for the Gimmis on Scarlet were a whole bunch of rows of 0x Shards, so you were effectively getting almost nothing for running then. This was fixed in a hotfix…sort of; the loot tables work now in terms of XP Candies and Nuggets, but more often than not they don’t drop shards at all now.
2. The shiny rate for the event only applies to five star raids and, per datamining, is indeed running at the base shiny rate for 5 stars, which is lower than the standard 1-in-4092. This was not changed in the hotfix…other than Nintendo amending the announcement language to remove “higher chance” and to specify that only 5-star raids can be shiny.
3. An important note for this event is that NONE of the Gimmis have Gimmighoul Coins in their loot tables, so this is purely a shiny hunt event/nugget farming event (average of 4 Nuggets per 5-star raid) - if you want to evolve your Gimmi, you will still need to seek out 999 coins in your base game.

Code TREASUREHUNT gives a Friend Ball, huh? Because maybe the real treasure is the friends we made along the way.

ARHG I really need to get back in to Pokémon scarlet!!!

@Dom_31 actually even worse;

those odds don't stack with other modifiers (shiny charm, sparkling power) so it's fixed at full odds.

@Heartless666 well excuuusse me prince/princess I Only got the Pokemon shiny form color off the net, I don't have a shiny Gimmighoul... yet. Mahahaha so that's that! 🤣

No boosted shiny odds like SwSh? Just basic bitch 1/4000? Yeah, no thanks. SwSh's 2% odds were fine (possibly even a tad low, some of those I played the entire duration of the event and never encountered a shiny), this is such a garbage event.

The code is worth using for the reward.

I started hunting the Gimmighoul but once I found out about the odds, I gave up. Not worth hunting that at those odds for a shiny that is barely noticeable.
