A special Tera Raid Event featuring Chest Form Gimmighoul in various Tera Types has ended! The event reran from Wednesday 30th April 00:00 UTC until Thursday 8th May at 23:59 UTC.
Like its previous event, this event will feature Gimmighoul in its shiny form in 5-Star Raids for lucky players!
Gimmighoul (Chest Form):
How to Get, Evolutions, and Weakness

Shiny Gimmighoul are available during the run of this Tera Raid Event in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet!
Unfortunately, it appears as though the shiny rate for Gimmighoul was the base raid odds of approximately 1 in 4103, making it very difficult to shiny hunt.
Shiny Hunting Guide and Shiny Odds

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.

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.

| 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.

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.
| (Counter) Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
|---|---|
| Turns 1~3 | Use Bulk Up to boost Annihilape's Attack and Defense while taking hits to build Rage Fist's BP. |
| Turns 4~6 | Use Screech to lower Gimmighoul's Attack to -6 while taking hits to further build Rage Fist's BP. |
| Turns 7+ | Use Rage Fist and KO Gimmighoul. |
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.
