The international Hoenn Circuit for Pokemon GO will run from February 25 to February 26, 2023. The event’s main draws will surely be Groudon and Kyogre. This is large because of their new Primal Reversion skills, which let them transform into Primal Groudon/Kyogre to increase their powers.
Can players anticipate catching a shiny Kyogre or Groudon during the occasion, though? Thankfully, the response is affirmative.
In 2018 and 2019, the two legendary Pokemon from Hoenn got their shiny forms. Trainers who beat them during the Hoenn Tour can anticipate the opportunity to meet their shiny counterparts.
However, in Pokemon GO’s new Primal Raids during the worldwide Hoenn Tour, the shininess of Groudon or Kyogre will necessitate their defeat. It should go without saying that won’t be simple to do.
The good news for aspiring Pokemon GO shiny hunters is that if they manage to catch a shiny Groudon or Kyogre, they will continue to be shiny even after using their brand-new Primal Reversion mechanic. However, many trainers will find it difficult to beat Primal Groudon and Kyogre, and there won’t be much room for error.
Players should be able to defeat the two Hoenn mascots with the proper support group and sheer willpower, and ideally, they’ll be fortunate enough to run into their shiny variants.
Primal Raids are somewhat similar to Pokemon GO’s Mega Raids. Players must bring their strongest combat parties because these are high-caliber raids; otherwise, they will not succeed. The Pokemon with the maximum CP and stats will therefore have the greatest advantages.
Exploiting Groudon and Kyogre’s respective elemental vulnerabilities is also crucial. This is due to the fact that when inflicting normal or resisted damage, their enormous health pools will be much harder to deplete.
Groudon’s transformation into a Ground/Fire-type after Primal Reversion renders it vulnerable to moves of the Ground and Water types. Primal Kyogre, on the other hand, maintains its mono Water typing after turning primal, making it still vulnerable to Electric and Grass-type attacks.
To benefit from the same type of attack bonus (STAB) in the game, which increases damage output, it is a good idea to pair these techniques with a Pokemon of the same type.
The Hoenn Tour will definitely be the best time to use Mega Energy if any Pokemon GO players have any on hand. Primal Groudon and Kyogre should be easily defeated thanks to Mega Evolved Pokémon. Trainers can take on numerous Primal Raids if necessary because the Mega Evolution process continues for a long enough time.
In the end, chance plays the biggest role in everything. There isn’t a surefire method to make shiny Kyogre or Groudon show up during this Pokemon GO event. The best fans can hope for is shiny to appear as quickly as possible by completing the Primal Raids as frequently as they can. There are no assurances, but if players miss the opportunity to capture shiny Kyogre and Groudon during this event, there might be a silver lining.
Groudon and Kyogre will undoubtedly resurface later in the year because of the two Legendary Pokemon’s enduring appeal (as well as the popularity of many of their Hoenn counterparts). These two creatures, whether in their primal forms or not, might appear again soon for another Pokemon GO occasion.
