In the past few weeks, Pokemon Go trainers have been quite busy in Raid Battles and special events. The reason is, October brings several special events such as Pikachu Spotlight hour, Fashion Week, and Limited Meowth Research. However, October is not over yet, and the developers are still ready to bring some new surprises to fans. The biggest surprise to come will be the Halloween celebrations.
A few days earlier, Niantic announced that they were ready to launch a new list of Raid Bosses in October. Raid Battles are the biggest entertaining thing in Pokemon Go, and they change every week. However, the current week of Raid will be a little different and challenging. Niantic announced the arrival of Giratina Origin in 5 Star Raid Battles, and now the trainers are excited about Giratina Origin ‘form as well as for Mega Raid bosses.
Three types of Raid Battles are currently taking place in Pokemon Go, namely 3-Star Raid Battles, 5-Star Raid Battles, and Mega Raids. All of these Raid Battles are tough and offer a separate type of powerful Pokemon to catch. The great thing about these Raid Battles is that players can meet Pokemon with their shiny forms.
The shiny form appears when players often take part in Raid Battles by making use of multiple raid passes. This month, players will have to spend a certain amount of Raid Pass to face Giratina Origin’s shiny form.
The developers have announced that they will be launching another Raid Boss in the Halloween event. So until Niantic makes changes to the game, players will have to fight against the current Raid Bosses.

The following Pokemon currently appear in Raid Battles. If you are lucky, you can find shiny Pokemon too. The chances of a shiny Pokemon appearing are 1 in 15. So, if you’re lucky, you’ll find a shiny Pokemon in a few attempts.
Giratina is a Legendary Dragon / Ghost Type Pokemon with several strong moves and a lot of weaknesses. This Legendary Pokemon is weak against Fairy, Dark, Dragon, Ice, and Ghost types. Ice, Dark, and Ghost types Pokemon are easily available, so make the best team possible using these Pokemon.
This is the second time Giratina has appeared in Raid Battle. A few months ago, Niantic released the Giratina Origin and Giratina Altered forms. Players who missed these Raid Battles can take part in the current Raid Battles. Giratina’s shiny form is elegant and strong and has Dragon and Ghost type movements.
Players usually use Giratina in Ultra League and Raid Battles because, and in both of these battles, it helps a lot. Trainers who have Giratina lower than 2500CP can use them in Ultra League battles as well.
Conclusion
5 Star and Mega Raids are the toughest Raid Battles of Pokemon Go. In 5 Star Raid Battles, only Legendary or Mythical Pokemon appear. At the same time, the 3 Star and Mega Raid Battles Pokemon are different. To develop Pokemon in Mega form, players must collect Mega Energy obtained from Field Research assignments and Mega Raids.
