Can You Get A Shiny Cinderace From Tera Raid Battles In Pokemon Scarlet And Violet?

In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, shiny event Pokemon is a prize to behold. That is because event Pokemon are rare and to get a shiny version of that Pokemon makes them even more special. That is why players are starting to wonder if they can get a shiny Unrivaled Cinderace during the Black Crystal Tera raid battles.

Cinderace is a Pokemon that you cannot naturally catch in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. But during a small timeframe, you can catch Cinderace and add it to your collection, much like Charizard. Here, we are going to go over if you can catch a shiny Cinderace during the 7-star Black Crystal raid battles.

Black Crystal raid battles are a bit different in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. You will be aiming to catch what is known as an unrivaled Pokemon, a Pokemon that is level 100 and with a powerful Tera type that you cannot normally catch. Because of how special these Pokemon are, Nintendo has stated that players can only catch one of each Unrivalved Pokemon per save data.

That means there is no farming for multiple Cinderace during the upcoming Black Crystal Tera Raid events. With that being said, it is very likely that Cinderace will be shiny-locked during this event. That means no, you cannot catch shiny Cinderace during the 7-star Tera raid event.

Imagine a scenario where you already caught a Cinderace through these raids but you do more raids to farm materials. Imagine how it would feel to find a shiny Cinderace but you cannot catch it. To prevent that, it is very likely that none of the Cinderace can be shiny during the Black Crystal Tera raid battles.

Although you cannot catch a shiny Cinderace, this does not mean that you cannot get a shiny Cinderace at all. In reality, you can easily get a shiny Cinderace just as easily as any other Pokemon. The first thing you will need to do is catch a Cinderace.

The next thing you will want to do is breed Cinderace to get Scorbunny eggs. Through this, you have opened up the opportunity to get a shiny Scorbunny through breeding which of course will eventually get you a shiny Cinderace.
