Claiming victory in one of these raids will cause more Chespin to appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes! Once you successfully complete a four-star Raid Battle against Quilladin, Chespin will appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. If you're lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!
