Wyrdeer and Shiny Wyrdeer are debuting during the Pokemon GO Winter Wonderland 2023 event. It is a rare occurrence when a monster and its Shiny variant are released at the same time. The dual Normal and Psychic-type Wyrdeer is set as a 3-star raid boss, and defeating it may reward an encounter with Shiny Wyrdeer.
Trainers can get the Big Horn Pokemon, Wyrdeer, and its Shiny variant starting from the Winter Wonderland event on December 23 at 10 AM Local Time. One has to win the Wyrdeer raid to get a chance to encounter Shiny Wyrdeer. But defeating the Pokemon GO raid boss is a highly challenging ordeal; players must have extensive meta-knowledge to achieve it. Prepare a battle roster aligned with Wyrdeer’s weaknesses and resistances to defeat the raid boss and have a shot at encountering its Shiny variant.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Wyrdeer Through 3-Star Raids
Wyrdeer is a powerful Pokemon with robust battle capabilities; it possesses a maximum Combat Power (CP) of 3089 and a stat spread of 206 ATK, 145 DEF, and 230 STA. As a Pokemon GO 3-star raid boss, its battle prowess gets a significant boost, solidifying its threat level. Players should team up with others to win the Wyrdeer raids.
Once Wyrdeer is defeated in 3-star raids, a Shiny Wyrdeer may spawn nearby. While there is a probability of Shiny Wyrdeer spawning, the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed. Win numerous raids and encounter several Standard Wyrdeer to match its Shiny odds.
It is tough to win Pokemon GO raid battles consecutively; one must have strategically selected counters to pull it off. Carefully study Wyrdeer’s weaknesses and resistances to prepare a battle roster against it. Choose monsters with moves that align with Wyrdeer’s weaknesses and avoid the ones it can resist. Also, trainers can tap into the Same Type of Attack Bonus effect while selecting the raid counters.
