The Ground Event in Pokémon GO is in full swing and brings new raid bosses with it. There you have the chance to catch many rare ground-type shinies.
What rare shinies are there? Especially in 1-star raids, you have the chance to find many shinies. Pokémon like Sandshrew or Geodude are among the rarest shinies in the game.
In addition to these shinies, there are also other interesting raid bosses, such as Flunkifer, Absol, or Alolan Marowak. Additionally, Groudon returns as a legendary raid boss in the arenas.
These are the raid bosses for the Ground Event
| Raid Level | Pokémon |
| Level 1 Raid (red egg) | Sandshrew Geodude Trubbish Shinx Whismur |
| Level 2 Raid (red egg) | Flunkifer Drifloon Exeggutor Alolan Exeggutor Skorupi |
| Level 3 Raid (yellow egg) | Leavanny Donphan Machamp Alolan Raichu Onix |
| Level 4 Raid (yellow egg) | Absol Tyranitar Alolan Marowak Rhydon |
| Level 5 Raid (black egg) | Groudon |
These are the bosses: In keeping with the Ground Event, there are mainly ground Pokémon. Most of these Pokémon have already been available in raids. There is no real surprise here.
The positive aspect of these raid bosses is the high number of possible shinies. You can obtain the following Pokémon in their shiny form:
- Sandshrew
- Geodude
- Whismur
- Trubbish
- Shinx
- Flunkifer
- Drifloon
- Alolan Raichu
- Alolan Marowak
- Absol
This is what you should pay attention to: You should particularly pay attention to the 1-star raids if you want shinies. Among them, Geodude, which is very rare in its shiny form. In the wild, the Pokémon is mostly found in its Alolan form, which cannot be shiny.
How long will the raid bosses stay? These bosses are exclusively for the Ground Event. The event ends on May 2nd, so the bosses will also disappear then. If you want to raid, you should do it in the next few days.
