Shiny Shellder appears in new Pokemon Sword & Shield Max Raid event
Game FreakA new Max Raid event has begun in Pokemon Sword & Shield giving trainers the chance to catch Shiny Shellder in the Wild Area!
Now Pokemon Legends: Arceus has been out for a while, there’s been a lot less attention on Game Freak’s previous title Sword & Shield.
Despite this, the game still retains a dedicated community of Trainers who are constantly looking to expand their collection of rare Pokemon.
While new DLCs are definitely off the table for Sword & Shield, the devs regularly host Max Raid events in the Wild Area to keep players busy.
Well, this week is no different, with Shiny Shellder being available in Max Raid battles for a limited amount of time.
