How common is the shiny Magikarp raid event? I’ve gotten 4 so far, 3 of mine and joined another. Not complaining though
According to Serebii, dens that have an event raid have a an 8% chance of having a Shiny Magikarp and a 52% chance of having a normal Magikarp, so 2 in 15 are Shiny. (This isn't counting the odds of a "Non-Shiny" Magikarp happening to be shiny, which I'm guessing can happen.) The Guarantee Shiny Magikarp all have Square Sparkles, so if you get one with Star Sparkles you got lucky but no one will think it's special.How common is the shiny Magikarp raid event?

Gotcha. I just think it’s cool how they have 5 perfect IV’s and they’re shiny.So many people are going to get witness the glory of seeing Magikarp using Max-Geyser. XD
By the way, congrats to anyone that somehow looses to this raid by accident. I'm not sure if there's anything more pathetic you could ever do, but if there is, I bet you can do it.It does a flip, freezes in mid air facing away from the opponent, and fires out of the corner of its mouth backwards to somehow hit the target.

5 IVs? I thought 4 was the max guarantee. (It can be more than the 4 guarntee ones if the random ones happen to also be 31.) It wouldn't surprise me if they made these Magikarp have 5 to make them even more special or to make up for being a Magikarp.Gotcha.

I had the opposite: minimum raid rewards in candy and the big nugget. No other nuggets. You are about 4x more likely to get a natural shiny than getting only a big nugget from a 5 star event magikarp raid according to serebii’s odds and my math.Ok, I just had extra bit of luck. I caught 5 star Magicarp (sadly non-shiny). Nothing special, right? Well, it turns out it has 6 IVs AND it´s hidden ability. Shininess would just be icing on the cake, but I guess you can´t have all. It´s Sassy, so Mint would be needed, but he is now training to become super-strong Gyarados.
And will probably in the future father many babies.
I think these event ones are 5IV guaranteed for 5* raids. I got a bunch of 5IV Delibirds from that event too... not sure if it applies to the G-max events though. I haven't done enough 5* of those to notice, I guess.5 IVs? I thought 4 was the max guarantee. (It can be more than the 4 guarntee ones if the random ones happen to also be 31.)

Even if you host and the mon escapes you can just hit tge home button and close the software without saving and reload. You can do it as many times as you care to invite people. You need to make sure that auto-save is OFF and that it's not about to roll over to the next day on your switch's clock and change the raid mon, but otherwise as long as you don't save after winning the raid (whether you catch or not) you're good.[*]Serebii also shows that for non-event GMax, it's not guaranteed catch if you invite other players, but is guaranteed if you solo. Has anyone hosted a non-event GMax that broke out after inviting players?

- Issue is that I would love to give other players a chance to fight the GMax I find, but I also can easily solo them, so it's not worth the risk if there is any at all.
Not known for sure, but people on Discord have suggested a 20%.Do we know the % to get a Pokemon in Max Raid with its HA ? I didn't find any good answers to this..

As far as I know there's no actual data on it, just empyrical evidenceNot known for sure, but people on Discord have suggested a 20%.
You might want to try Discord or Pokemon Showdown.No idea where else to post this, so I guess I’ll just ask here:
Saved in front of a Heavy Metal (HA) Gigantimax Copperajah. Any takers?
It's actually a fixed ratio. Each respawn consists in 7 red + 1 purple.I rarely see the purple beam ones and see a bunch of the red ones.
But how many purple beam den do u get in compare to red ones?
I disided to take all the red ones out first and the purple for last but it seems to have disapeared
Related to this, joining a raid via Y-Comm counts, and each completed raid done in this manner will clear one red beam (at random, as far as I can tell). It will not, however, clear a purple beam if one exists in your game (again, as far as I can tell), so you still have to hunt that one down the hard way. And if you've already done this so that there are only red beams left in your game, then spam Y-Comm raids, you'll eventually clear all your beams and make the game refresh the dens as usual.It's actually a fixed ratio. Each respawn consists in 7 red + 1 purple.
You can force a respawn by taking out all your active raids.
Hacked raids, been going around recently apparently. Note that some, like many mythicals or shiny forms currently only available in cherish balls, won't even technically be legal if caught.About an hour ago, I saw a Max Raid invite featuring Necrozma at the Lake of Outrage, but was unable to participate when I tried to investigate. Was that a glitch or is there a new event going on now? It just seemed really weird to me.
So basically just ignore them, then. Thanks.Hacked raids, been going around recently apparently. Note that some, like many mythicals or shiny forms currently only available in cherish balls, won't even technically be legal if caught.
