=====Wild Area News events===== | |||
Pokémon Sword and Shield has had two [[Wild Area News]] events that each focused on a singular Shiny Pokémon. These events have both been associated with Japanese holidays and traditions. During these events, players had a 2% chance to encounter a guarenteed Shiny Pokémon in 5★ [[Max Raid Battle]]s. | |||
The following is a list of such events in reverse chronological order: | |||

In addition, at the launch of the [[The Isle of Armor]], uncatchable {{p|Zeraora}} [[Wild Area News#June 17 to June 28, 2020|appeared]] in 3★-5★ raids. In 5★ raids, one of the Zeraora encounters was Shiny and more difficult to defeat. Players eventually received that [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII#1 Million Victories Shiny Zeraora|Shiny Zeraora]] via [[Pokémon HOME]] as a reward for collectively defeating over 1 million Zeraora in Max Raid Battles. | |||
