Pokemon GO allows players to battle Dartrix as a 4-star raid boss. The winners of Dartrix 4-star raids have a chance to encounter Shiny Dartrix. The Shiny variant debuted during the Rowlet Community Day event starting Saturday, January 6, at 2 PM Local Time. Even after the event ends, Dartrix will still come as a raid boss in rotations.
The dual Grass and Flying-type monster, Dartrix, originates from the Alola region and is a powerful Pokemon GO fighter. Evolving the monster into a Decidueye boosts its power even more, making it a must-have for battle enthusiasts. Defeating Dartrix as a 4-star raid boss requires proper meta-knowledge and strategic counter-selection. Players must study its weaknesses and resistances before selecting the raid counters. This guide explores everything one must know before attempting the Dartrix 4-star raids.

Pokemon GO: Dartrix’s Weaknesses And Resistances
Dartrix has a maximum Pokemon GO Combat Power of 1950, which increases even more as a 4-star raid boss. The monster possesses a mediocre stat spread of 102 ATK, 99 DEF, and 169 STA, but its massive power boost makes it a dangerous opponent. One must team up with other players instead of participating in the 4-star raid solo.
Before fighting the raid boss, it is of the utmost importance to study its meta and select proper counters against it. To plan the counter roster, trainers must thoroughly examine Dartrix’s weaknesses and resistance. Pick monsters with the Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) potential moves that align with Dartrix’s weaknesses.

After winning the Dartrix 4-star raid, there is a possibility of Shiny Dartrix spawning nearby, but note that the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed. While some players may encounter a Shiny variant, others might not. One needs to win several Dartrix raids and encounter numerous Dartrix to catch up to its Shiny odds in Pokemon GO.
