Pokemon GO Mega Pidgeot raids offer the opportunity to get a Shiny Pidgeot and Shiny Mega Pidgeot. Although getting a guaranteed Shiny encounter is impossible, you can use strategic approaches to increase the chances. Those who catch a Shiny Pidgeot can later get a Shiny Mega Pidgeot.
Pokemon GO players with a wild Shiny Pidgey can evolve it into a Shiny Pidgeot. Another suitable method is to win the Mega Pidgeot Raids; it can reward a Shiny Pidgeot spawn nearby. But defeating a Mega Raid boss is challenging, and encountering a Shiny variant is even more difficult. Win numerous Mega Pidgeot Raids to boost the chances of a Shiny encounter, but consecutively winning Mega Raids requires extensive knowledge. You can follow this guide to get a Shiny Pidgeot and a Shiny Mega Pidgeot in the game.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Mega Pidgeot Through Mega Raids
Mega Pidgeot is a dual Normal and Flying-type monster with a maximum Pokemon GO Combat Power of 4160, subject to boost as a Mega Raid boss. The Mega Evolution’s stat spread comprises 280 ATK, 175 DEF, and 195 STA, highlighting its attacking capabilities in PvP and PvE settings. Taking account of these lethal stats, you should team up with other players and avoid solo raids.
Study Mega Pidgeot's weaknesses and resistances to choose effective Mega Raid counters. Select counters with move types that exploit its weaknesses and avoid those it resists, and ensure that the counters have Pokemon GO moves with the Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) potential.
Winning Mega Pidgeot raids offer a chance to encounter Shiny Gyarados, though it's not guaranteed. Pokemon GO trainers must win multiple raids and encounter several Gyarados; doing so might aid in matching its Shiny odds.
