Tips for shiny Hunting Deoxys

Our Tips for Shiny Hunting Deoxys can help you get a shiny Deoxys! When you are rushing to do as many Raids as possible in 3 hours, it’s best to have the easier fights that require less coordination.

Shiny odds for Deoxys should be ~1/10 fights during Raid Day.
Use optimal counters and storm through as many fights as you can.
Pick areas with multiple easy to access Gyms
Use Remote Raiding to minimise downtime and coordinate with a second Raid party if possible
You should be able to land 10 – 15 Raids during this time.
