It's Shiny Guzzlord Raid Hour Again In Pokémon GO: Adventures Abound

It’s Shiny Guzzlord Raid Hour again in Pokémon GO, and here's why you should go hard on tonight's Raids before it's too late.


We are getting one more Guzzlord Raid Hour in Pokémon GO before this Ultra Beast disappears through Ultra Wormholes, and Darkrai makes its annual holiday return. Tonight's Guzzlord Raid Hour, happening from 6 p.m. – 7 p.m. is important if you're a Shiny collector. This past Guzzlord raid rotation saw the release of this Ultra Beast's Shiny form for the first time, so it is likely going to be quite a while before we see it return again. My tip for tonight's Raid Hour would be make use of your Remote Raid Invites while you can and then get as many in-person Guzzlord Raids done as possible. Guzzlord is one of the easiest Tier Five Raid bosses to take down in Pokémon GO, so showing up to these on location is going to be easier than, say, if you were trying to Shiny hunt a Cresselia, a Pokémon that you'd need more help to defeat.
