Shiny Pokemon are valuable collectibles for Pokemon GO players, especially if they are powerful, like Shiny Mega Glalie. Mega Evolutions are highly potent and can take down even Legendary fighters. The same is true with Mega Glalie, making its Shiny variant a must-have.
Mega Glalie is a Mega raid boss in Pokemon GO, but winning against it isn’t the only way to get Shiny Mega Glalie. Players can also get a Shiny Mega Glalie by catching its pre-evolution in the wild. Regarding the raid, winning is challenging as the monster’s power level boosts even further as a Mega raid boss. One must carefully prepare a battle roster aligned with Mega Glalie’s weaknesses and resistance to bag a win. That said, this guide explores the best way to get Shiny Mega Glalie raids in the game.

This Pokemon GO guide explores all Ditto disguises for December 2023 and methods to increase its spawn rate.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Mega Glalie Through Mega Raids
Pokemon GO players must first get a Shiny Glalie to get a Shiny Mega Glalie. There are multiple ways to get Shiny Glalie; one must get a Shiny Snorunt in the wild and later evolve it or get a Shiny Glalie directly through raids. Only after getting a Shiny Glalie can players move towards securing a Shiny Mega Glalie.
How to Get Shiny Snorunt In Pokemon GO
Players can get a Shiny Snorunt lurking in the wild but have to match its Shiny odds by encountering multiple Standard variants. Pokemon GO events that feature Snorunt boost its wild spawn rate. Additionally, several in-game items can increase the wild Pokemon spawn rate.
Pokemon GO Incense, Lure Module, and the Weather Boost function can quickly increase Pokemon spawn rate in the wild. When used simultaneously, these items’ effects stack up and increase the spawn rate even further. One can use this strategy during events that already boost Snorunt’s spawn rate and encounter numerous Snorunt.
Snorunt is an Ice-type monster and experiences Weather Boost in snowy areas. To simultaneously use the items mentioned above, locate a PokeStop or Gym with snowy weather conditions, attach a Lure Module to it, activate an Incense, and traverse around that specific PokeStop or Gym. When used during events featuring Snorunt, this strategy can significantly increase its spawn rate. The more Snorunt players encounter, the faster they may get to its Shiny spawn rate.
How To Get Shiny Glalie In Pokemon GO
Pokemon GO trainers may encounter a Shiny Glalie by winning Mega Glalie raids. But, even after winning the raid, the Shiny Glalie encounter isn’t guaranteed. One has to win several Mega raids and encounter multiple Glalie to match its Shiny odds. Remember that Mega raids are challenging to win; do not attempt the raid solo. Instead, numerous players must team up to ensure victory.
Mega Glalie has a maximum Pokemon GO CP of 3651, which boosts significantly as a Mega raid boss. It possesses a stat spread of 252 ATK, 168 DEF, and 190 STA, making it a ferocious attacker. The monster also possesses a potent move pool; its best moveset combines Frost Breath (Ice) and Avalanche (Ice), resulting in 16.23 DPS.
To defeat such a powerful raid boss repeatedly is a challenge in itself. One requires extensive meta-knowledge and proper counter-selection to pull it off. Study Mega Glalie’s weaknesses and resistance before preparing the battle roster; only pick counters that align with its weaknesses and avoid the ones it can resist.
Another thing to look for is counters that can use the Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) effect. When a counter’s innate type matches its move type, using that particular move can inflict bonus damage to the Mega raid boss. Keeping that in mind, select counters that befall Mega Glalie’s weaknesses and have STAB potential moves in their arsenal.

How To Mega Evolve Shiny Glalie In Pokemon GO
Assuming Pokemon GO players have caught a Shiny Snorunt in the wild, they need to evolve the monster to get a Shiny Glalie, and Mega Evolve it. Shiny Snorunt can evolve into two different monsters: a Shiny Froslass or a Shiny Glalie.
Only a female Shiny Snorunt can evolve into a Shiny Froslass; other requirements for the evolution are 100 Candy and a Sinnoh Stone. On the other hand, the only requirement to evolve a Shiny Snorunt into a Shiny Glalie is 100 Candy. Players can get the required amount of Candy by catching and transferring multiple Snorunt in the game.
Once players get their hands on a Shiny Glalie either by evolving a Shiny Snorunt or through Pokemon GO Mega Glalie raids, they can now Mega Evolve it into a Shiny Mega Glalie. The initial cost for the Mega Evolution is 200 Mega Energy, which decreases to 40 Mega Energy for later Mega Evolutions. Get the required Mega Energy by winning multiple Mega Glalie raids, completing certain Research quests, or doing daily tasks with Glalie’s evolutionary line as the Buddy Pokemon.
