Gimmighoul Shiny Odds

Gimmighoul Shiny Rate: Standard Raid Odds (~1 in 4103)

Shiny Gimmighoul is available during this Tera Raid Event for the first time in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet!

Unfortunately, it appears as though the shiny rate for Gimmighoul in 5 Star Raids is the base raid odds of approximately 1 in 4103, making it very difficult to shiny hunt.

Shiny Hunting Guide and Shiny Odds

How to Hunt Shiny Gimmighoul Tera Raids

If You Do Not Get the Shiny, Do the Date Skip Trick

First attempt all of the 5-Star Gimmighoul Raids (lower star levels may be shiny locked) that have spawned and check for a shiny. As there are 10 Gimmighoul raids that spawn per in-game day, make sure to check all of them. If none of them are shiny, do the date skip trick to refresh the raid dens and do another 10. Rinse and repeat.

Shiny Gimmighoul is Similar in Color to Regular Gimmighoul, so Catch All of Them to be Safe!

As Shiny Gimmighoul only has a very slight change in hue on its body to a pale white, while its chest remains unchanged, it is recommended to catch all Gimmighoul to check if they are shiny or not.

Shiny Gimmighoul Differences

Shiny Gimmighoul vs Regular

Shiny Gimmighoul and Regular Gimmighoul Comparison
Shiny Gimmighoul	Regular Gimmighoul
White Body	Gray Body

Shiny Gimmighoul and Regular Gimmighoul are almost indistinguishable in Tera Raids! The Chest remains the same color, with the only visible difference being the White body as opposed to its regular Gray body. To make matters worse, colors and shading are distorted slightly during Tera Raid Battles, and there is no shiny animation!

Trainers will need a keen eye for this raid, we recommend you just catch all of the Gimmighoul you encounter and check after.

The Best Gimmighoul Tera Type to Shiny Hunt

Most Used Tera Types by Gholdengo in Regulation C of Ranked Battle

Flying (20.37%)	Ghost (7.41%)
Normal (5.56%)	Fairy (3.70%)
Dark (1.85%)	Fighting (1.85%)

Summary

Annihilape is one of the best Tera Raid counters in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Most players should have one built up already, and if not you can easily do one following this guide. Annihilape's Rage Fist will make quick work of Ghost Tera Gimmighoul, while the combination of Drain Punch and Ragefist is guaranteed to be effective against the remaining Types.

Tera Raid Strategy

Using Annihilape during the Gimmighoul Tera Raid is rather simple.

First use Bulk Up 3 times to boost Annihilape's Attack and Defense while taking hits to build Rage Fist's BP.

Follow up with 3 Screeches to lower Gimmighoul's Attack to -6 while taking hits to further build Rage Fist's BP.

Use Drain Punch when necessary against Types that are affected by it to regain HP.

Finally, use Rage Fist to take out Gimmighoul.
