In Pokémon GO, Terrakion returns as a raid boss and also appears for the first time in its shiny version. The raid will be particularly rewarding again.
When will Terrakion return? The legendary Pokémon directly replaces Virizion in the raids, which will disappear on May 19 at 10:00 PM. You can battle Terrakion for a week, until May 26 at 10:00 PM German time.
During this time, Terrakion will also appear for the first time as shiny. It is the last of the 3 currently available swords of justice (Terrakion, Coballion, Virizion) that can be obtained as shiny.

What does the shiny look like? You can easily recognize the difference, as shiny Terrakion is generally a bit brighter and has red and blue markings on its body:
How worthwhile is the raid boss? Terrakion is among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. It is extremely strong as a rock attacker and is only surpassed by Rampardos.
In contrast to Rampardos, however, Terrakion is significantly more durable in battle. It can withstand more damage and survive longer.
Moreover, the shiny version will probably attract many players, and you have the chance to finally get a strong attacker from the raid.
After previously having less interesting attackers for raids, a good raid boss is returning, and you should invest some raid passes to optimally strengthen your team.
This is what Terrakion is really good for: The legendary Pokémon is a real weapon against the Rocket grunts and bosses. Terrakion has a relatively fast charge move that can be used effectively. Competitors like Tyranitar, on the other hand, have a rather slow attack with Rock Wrecker.
Is there a raid hour? On May 20, next Wednesday, there will be a raid hour featuring Terrakion. There, you can encounter the legendary Pokémon for an hour at almost all gyms.
At the same time, the 3rd part of the nostalgia challenge will also be running. There, you will encounter many Pokémon from the 3rd generation, and there are halved hatch distances and buddy distances.
