Where to find Shiny Kartana in Pokémon Go

Trainers can get a Shiny Kartana in Pokémon Go by participating in 5 Star Raids. While the Sizeable Surprises event is active, this creature appears during these battles, specifically in the Northern Hemisphere. If you’re not in this area, use a Remote Raid Pass to access it. The Shiny Celesteela is also available in the Southern Hemisphere for those who want more Ultra Beast variants.

5 Star Raids aren’t the easiest fights to achieve, so prepare beforehand with a powerful team. Kartana has a weakness against Fire Types, including the following Pokémon:

  • Reshiram
  • Mega Charizard
  • Heatran
  • Incineroar
  • Arcanine
  • Moltres
  • Blaziken

To get the Shiny Kartana in Pokémon Go, you may need to complete several 5 Star Raids. Similar to the Shiny Wimpod, it’s not always guaranteed, but some trainers have gotten lucky enough to obtain it in the first Raid. After winning the battle, the Shiny Kartana can appear for the Bonus Challenge. Use a fruit like Silver Pinap Berry or Golden Razz Berries to easily get it on your side.

Unfortunately, the event for the Shiny Kartana will come to a close shortly. It will end on April 9 at 8 p.m. local time, so make sure to get through as many 5 Star Raids as possible.
