Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Buzzwole

Pokemon GO players can get Shiny Buzzwole by winning the Buzzwole 5-star raids. The Ultra Beast is known as a powerhouse and is counted among some of the most powerful fighters in the game. Its Shiny variant was a much-awaited addition before its release at the GO Fest 2024.

Defeating Buzzwole as a 5-star raid boss is a challenging task, and once players win the raid, Shiny Buzzwole might spawn nearby. The already potent Buzzwole gets a significant power boost as a 5-star raid boss, making the raid extremely hard to win. Pokemon GO players must carefully select raid counters with move types that fall under Buzzwole’s weaknesses and avoid the ones it can resist. That said, this guide explores the best way to defeat Buzzwole raids and how to get a Shiny Buzzwole in raids.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Buzzwole Through 5-Star Raids

Shiny Buzzwole in Pokemon GO 5-Star Raids

Buzzwole is among the most powerful monsters in Pokemon GO, with a maximum Combat Power (CP) of 3912, which boosts even more as a 5-star raid boss. Its excellent offense potential is reflected through the stat spread of 236 ATK, 196 DEF, and 216 STA. Solo players should avoid the 5-star raid; one should instead team up with others to ensure victory.

After winning the Pokemon GO Buzzwole 5-star raid, Shiny Buzzwole might spawn near the raid location. Although the Shiny encounter isn't guaranteed, those who win numerous Buzzwole raids and match its Shiny odds may encounter a Shiny Buzzwole.

Studying Buzzwole’s weaknesses and resistances is extremely important before selecting the raid counters. The counters must have STAB potential moves that align with Buzzwole’s weaknesses, not those it can resist. When a counter's attribute and move type are identical, using that particular move triggers the STAB effect.
