A new Max Raid event is underway in Pokemon Sword and Shield. Until August 8, a handful of summer-themed Pokemon will be appearing more frequently in Max Raid dens across both games, including Shiny Vanilluxe.
Throughout the event, you'll be more likely to encounter Fan Rotom, Seaking, Heracross, Pinsir, and Ninjask in Max Raids across the Wild Area, Isle of Armor, and Crown Tundra. Vanilluxe will also be appearing more frequently, and you'll have a chance to encounter a Shiny version in five-star Max Raids.
