Currently, you can obtain Lunala as Shiny for the first time in Pokémon GO. If you want the monster, you should hurry.
What kind of monster is this? Lunala is a legendary monster with the types Ghost and Psychic. It has existed since Generation 7 and is one of the two evolutions of Cosmovum, which evolves from Cosmog, alongside Solgaleo.
Currently, you can challenge Lunala in the game and obtain it as Shiny for the first time. However, if you want to get the new Shiny, you should hurry.
Only a few days left
How long will Lunala be in the game? Currently, you can find the strong raid boss in 5-star raids. You have the opportunity to challenge the monster until Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at 10:00 PM and, with a bit of luck, obtain it as Shiny.
Additionally, there will be a raid hour with Lunala on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. During this time, the boss will appear in a variety of arenas, allowing you to complete a lot of raids against the boss in a short time.
How strong is the monster? Lunala is among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. You can effectively use the monster as both a Ghost and a Psychic attacker. It becomes even stronger if you fuse it with Necrozma.
How do I defeat the boss? Since Lunala possesses the types Psychic and Ghost, it is vulnerable to attacks from the types Ghost and Dark. Therefore, focus on these attackers when challenging the boss. If you use the best counters against Lunala, you can defeat the boss with just 2 trainers.
When will Lunala return? Although all monsters in Pokémon GO become available in the game again at irregular intervals, it is not yet known when Lunala will be found again. If you absolutely want the Shiny, you should seize the opportunity now.
