Pokemon GO Fest’s in-person events in London and Osaka had a successful Day 1. A wide array of critters have been spawning for people to catch and try their luck at catching a shiny version.

However, if you are a ticket holder, there are many things to do in the in-person events, be it in London or Osaka.

In case you are unaware, there are a lot of new critters that have been added to the game through GO Fest 2023, along with their shiny variants. This article will help you learn about all the Pokemon you can encounter at the GO Fest as a ticket holder.

Five-star (Legendary) Raid encounters

You can encounter the following legendary creatures in five-star raids:

  • Cresselia

All of the above critters will be spawning along with their shiny variants. Since these creatures are of legendary rarity, they have a higher chance of being shiny in Pokemon GO.

According to studies done by some generous trainers in the Pokemon community, legendary critters have a 1 out of 20 chance of being shiny. This means you have a 5% chance of catching a shiny in five-star legendary raids.

Mega Raid encounters

You can encounter only one critter in the GO Fest Mega Raids, and that is Mega Rayquaza. It is debuting in Pokemon GO, and you should consider farming Rayquaza Candies and XLs through the Mega Raids.

Just like the other legendaries, Mega Rayquaza has a 5% chance of being shiny in Pokemon GO.
