  • Raid Bosses – During Raids you can catch the new debut pokemon Wimpod, Larvitar, Timburr and Chansey for 1 star bosses.

How to get Shiny Meltan

The easiest way to get the Shiny Meltan is through a mystery box. Just follow these steps to get your own Mystery Box.

  • Create a Pokemon Home account
  • Link your Pokemon Home account to your Pokemon GO account from the settings in Pokemon GO
  • Send a Pokemon from your Pokemon GO collection to Pokemon Home
  • And that’s it! You will get a Mystery Box as a reward.

After getting a Mystery Box use it to activate Meltan spawns. But keep in mind that you can only use Mystery Box once in 3 days for only 1 hour.

Another medal that is easy to collect is the Youngster medal. For that, you need to catch 1000 tiny Rattatas. Basically, only Rattatas that weigh less than 1.4 kg count as tiny Rattata so catch as many as you can. Also, transferring will be also counted towards the total count.

Next as Magikarp spawns have also been boosted you can target the Fisher medal and catch 1000 big Magikarp. A big Magikarp weighs more than 13.13 kg, so look out for their weight.

We also have the Rising Star medal for which you have to defeat 150 pokemon in raid battles. You should aim to complete this medal as this event has a lot of raid events.
