A new Max Raid event has begun in Pokemon Sword & Shield giving trainers the chance to catch Shiny Marill in the Wild Area!
Pokemon Sword & Shield may be nearly three years old at this point, but the game still retains a passionate and dedicated community of trainers.
While Game Freak is no longer releasing significant batches of content for the title and is instead focusing on Pokemon Legends: Arceus, they still update the Wild Area on a regular basis.
These usually come in the form of Max Raid events that celebrate a specific Pokemon type and give trainers a chance to encounter a rare Shiny.
Well, this week is no different, with Shiny Marill being available in Max Raid battles for a limited amount of time.

During this time, trainers will be able to encounter Marill, Poliwag, and Spheal in Max Raids. Not only that, Shiny Marill will be available at a spawn rate of 2%, meaning it’s the perfect time to make the most of the boosted odds.
Remember, this event is running for ten days, so taking part will give you a great chance to get your hands on a Shiny!
Hopefully, this has caught you up on exactly which types of Pokemon you can expect to see in your Max Raid Battles.
Keep in mind, that these events are not a walk in the park so make sure you’re prepared before you enter a den!
