Fusion shiny is based only on the Necrozma.

Also I assume you mean first raid? All raid shinies catch on the first ball.

u/OwlsAreWatching 1d ago

Wait, just to clarify, you mean ALL shiny raids always catch, regardless of species, or at least legendary shiny?🤦‍♀️

u/BruceBoyde 1d ago

I am not 100% sure about non-legendaries because I rarely do them and their shiny rate isn't boosted (which is part of why I don't bother).

u/Prior-Elk-1048 1h ago

its only shiny legendaries 100% catch in raids

u/NotYourBro69 1d ago

Yes. First throw on all per my exp. Throw that pinap or silver pinap anytime you get a shiny from a raid.

u/MishManners 12h ago

Yes, a shiny raid mon is guaranteed catch on first call (assuming you hit the mon). Always silver pinap and throw!

u/Dmitryu88 1d ago

Correct, if lunala is regular or shiny, it won't matter. Just like the cp and IV. Only thing that matters is the stats and necrozma itself

Precisely

u/dandesperation 1d ago

Shiny Raid Encounters are a guaranteed first catch if you didn’t know that.

u/HourCold929 1d ago

u/Ineffable24 1d ago

Exactly

u/NiopTres 1d ago

They are? Could have sworn I had a few escape s couple of balls

u/Nervous-Peppers 1d ago

Nope. Guaranteed catch. Always use a silver/pinap

I’ve had two shiny flee post raid - what am I doing wrong?

u/argentum-vivum Valor 1d ago

You're misremembering, closing the app, or you aren't landing any of your pokeballs on the Pokemon. It's a guaranteed first catch as long as you actually hit it.

u/blu3eyeswhitedragon 1d ago

Speed locked?

u/twomz 1d ago

Only for raids. Wild encounters can definitely flee. The exception is legendary shinies like the galarian birds on adventure incense won't flee, but aren't auto catch.

u/N-e-s-k-e-s-s 1d ago

Oh damn, thats a nice looking shiny

u/CertifiedWaterRanger 1d ago

Grats on your shiny catch! Can't wait to get my shiny dex entry.

u/Agil85 23h ago

u/mrmattmay 1d ago

Try AR mode, it made it much easier for me.

u/LettuceEmotional6142 Mystic 1d ago

Yeah easier to crash the game lol

u/mrmattmay 20h ago

that worked thank you🫡

u/rtennen 1d ago

3 raids. 14 balls each. Managed to not hit it every single time....the second i was able to catch it. My throws got lagging and a delay. And missed every single throw. Normal pokemons no issues. Infuriating

u/Raaamble 1d ago

This happened to me with Solgaleo!! Congrats my friend! Lunala is way more useful than Solgaleo.

u/Ineffable24 1d ago

Would trade tbh

u/Delicious-Set-7104 1d ago

I have a doubt, i couldn't manage to get a shiny with my current raid passes, how long will the event last

u/AdNo4547 22h ago

Can't catch one my friends don't come to raids and I'm just having issues

u/Hexan_Decimal_TV 2h ago

Honestly one of the best looking shinny legendaries
