How to get Wyrdeer in Pokemon Go & can it be Shiny?

The Hisuian Pokemon Wyrdeer is returning to Pokemon Go Raids, so here’s an overview of how to get the dual Normal/Psychic-type in the game, as well as whether or not it can be shiny.

In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, players were introduced to several alternate forms of Pokemon and new evolutions. One of those new forms added to the Pokemon universe was Wyrdeer, the evolution of Stantler.

Niantic has begun to add Hisuian versions of Pokemon to the mobile game, and Wyrdeer joined the available pool. But how can you get one?

Here’s a look at what we know about Wyrdeer in Pokemon Go.

How to get Wyrdeer in Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go trainers got a first glimpse of Wyrdeer during the Wyrdeer Raid Day on December 23, 2023, as part of the Winter Wonderland Event.

For those unfamiliar with the format of a Raid Day, trainers have the increased opportunity to run into the featured Pokemon during those specific times. In Wyrdeers’ case, players had a chance to catch it in 3-Star Raid battles.

Fortunately, trainers can again face Wyrdeer in 3-star Raids from August 12, 2024, to August 21, 2024. The Pokemon will appear alongside Incarnate Forme Thundurus‘s 5-star Raid run, with Duosion and Togetic being the other 3-star Raid bosses.

Can you catch a Shiny Wyrdeer in Pokemon Go?

Yes, Shiny Wyrdeer is available in Pokemon Go. Its debut brought the special variant, though it only had a 1.67% chance of appearing.

That’s everything you need to know about catching Wyrdeer in Pokemon Go. In the meantime, check out some more Pokemon Go guides, including the Spotlight Hour schedule and event calendar.
