Pokemon Go news: Shiny Pokemon boost as Trainers prepare for big January events

The special about this upcoming event is that the powerful Deoxys forme has shifted, meaning you can now battle and collect a variant. Qualifying for an EX Raid is not automatic and usually rules out rural players from having a chance. You become eligible to receive an EX Raid Pass when you win a Raid Battle at a qualifying Gym. You'll be able to see which Gyms can host an EX Raid through a tag when you look at the Gym details. This has helped remove some of the mystery surrounding EX Raid process, with EX Raid Passes also giving you the date and time when you'll be able to challenge Attack Forme Deoxys.
