What is the Catch Rate of Shiny Raids?
The catch rate of shiny raids is essentially 100% if the shiny legendary Pokémon is found after completing a raid, meaning that if a shiny raid boss is encountered, it is guaranteed to be caught, with the only requirement being that the player must hit the Pokémon with a Poké Ball. The shiny odds in raids are significantly higher compared to wild spawns, with a 1 in 20 chance, or 5%, for legendary Pokémon in five-star raids to be shiny.
