However, if you’re looking to add this Pokemon to your Pokedex, you may be wondering if you’ll be able to get your hands on a Shiny version of it. Let’s dive into the details, and see what you’ll need to do to get your hands on this Legendary Pokemon!

May not only looks to bring lots of flowers after April showers, but a whole slew of new activities and Pokemon to get your hands on. One of these is the new 5 Star Raid Battles, which will put you and your strongest Pokemon up to the test, to determine if you’ve got what it takes to take on some big bad Legendary Pokemon and add them to your ever-growing collection.

As mentioned above, starting on May 10th, 2022, you’ll be able to test your skills and Pokemon against Tapu Fini, a legendary deity Pokemon from the Alola region.
