Can you catch a shiny Unown S during the Hisuian Discoveries event in Pokemon Go?

During the Hisuian Discoveries event, Unown S will arrive in Pokémon Go for a brief period of time. The Pokémon Go Fest: Seattle Global Challenge was a bonus for everyone who participated, especially for the buddies who exchanged gifts. During the event, is it possible to catch a shiny Unown S in Pokémon Go?

Can you catch a shiny Unown S in raids?

We can confirm that players will be able to access the shiny version of Unown S during the Hisuian Discoveries event. Unown S can be found in one-star raids, which are doable by almost every player alone. For lower-level players, it's never a terrible idea to bring a friend along, but most Pokémon Go players won't find this necessary.

In raids, the likelihood of running into an Unown S is rather slim. You will need a lot of luck to find the one raid pass you can get from spinning the PokéStop or gym dials. Unown S won't be around for very long, and Unown usually only show up on special occasions, so they're rather uncommon. To finish the alphabet, some gamers might be on the prowl for every single one of them, including their shining counterparts.

We advise going after Dialga if you're looking for other raid Pokémon to confront throughout the event. Up until July 31st, the legendary Pokémon will spawn in five-star raids. Palkia, another legendary Pokémon that we strongly urge you to capture while you have the chance, will then replace it. You must bring a friend with you on these raids, which can be difficult if you don't have anyone available to help you destroy these legendary Pokémon.
