Article Summary

  • Join Zekrom Raid Hour in Pokémon GO tonight with a chance at Shiny Zekrom.
  • Utilize the top Mega and Shadow Pokémon counters to defeat Zekrom in Raids.
  • Learn the best strategies and team size for catching the legendary Zekrom.
  • December Raid Hours feature Reshiram, Kyurem, and Regigigas with shiny versions.

Today is Zekrom Raid Hour in Pokémon GO. From 6 PM – 7 PM, Wednesday, December 13th, this Dragon/Electric-type Legendary Pokémon will appear in Tier Five Raids all over the game. Most Gyms on your map will feature these Raids, so you will have a great chance to hunt for Shiny Zekrom. Keep an eye out, though, because Zekrom and Shiny Zekrom are almost identical, with one minor key difference: Shiny Zekrom has green eyes. Let's look at some tips for this event.
