 Hello friends and welcome back to another max raid event update video My name is Lee also known as Osiris and today marks the change of another Max raid event in the wild area and Pokemon sword and shield So we'll be covering that quickly in today's episode because the previous one ended last night Which included Pokemon like Dragon Pult, Whimsicott, Rotomarsh, Wartom, Heat, Taranaton, Exkidrill Now they've all gone They finished and the G max Pokemon are returning but only one But it is a special one It is something that we probably Needed for a long time and it's gonna be exciting to catch it because it is all centered around Pikachu So G max Pikachu will now be available from today, which is the 12th until the 18th, which is next Monday So you've got a small window to catch these Pokemon, but a very exciting event nonetheless So we'll start off by going over to our trusted source at Sarabee the link will be down in the description as always And we'll have a look what we can get for the three star Well one two three and four and five star Pokemon So if you're in the early stages of your playthrough You'll obviously have access to getting the one star Pikachu's and the two star Pikachu's and The three star Pikachu's would be a bit four if you're a bit further along in your game If you finish the majority of you guys and but all the items pretty much stay the same the numbers just multiplies You get through the the to the the biggest star Pokemon No special items unfortunately just getting the the berries Gold nuggets, which is always good for money. And then the the Dynamics candies and the the XL Level candies, that's all we're getting here. Nothing special But as you can see there is no other alternative Pokemon other than Pikachu But there is some quite interesting things here. It does have access to surf which is really really cool So you can see here the five star Pikachu's Have access to surf so that's the ones you probably wanted to go for and the other big news is Prior to this event if you wanted to use Gigantamax Pikachu G Then it would only have its static ability it wouldn't have access to lightning rod But now with this event you can now catch Pikachu's G max Pikachu's with that lightning rod ability making it even more viable in the competitive scene So it's gonna be really interesting to see how it plays out and what happens with it And what impact it can make it had a very small impact at the very start of the the season Especially in VGC we saw that really cool team where Pikachu won a big online event And then kind of did nothing after that But I think with support with surf and obviously the lightning rod ability it does make it a bit more viable And gives it a little bit of an edge going into the the the competitive scene here. So Like I say, there's not really too much to cover here Just the moves faint surf light screen thunder are what you're gonna get on the five star Again, the items aren't really anything to write home about Nothing special there nothing like a light ball or anything which would have been really nice But I mean we can't have everything and both sword and shield Editions of the game are exactly the same. So like I said at the very start of the video This event will run from May 12th, which is today to the 18th of May, which is next Monday So you've not got the biggest window to catch these Pokemon Just make sure that you do grab yourself one or two while you can right? We'll hop back over into the game and we will cover how We Do this so as you can see right now I have a an event Raid den active you can see that is part of the the previous The older events that are running. So we've got an Exkidrill here Which has gotten a right to be in Drappled grove, but it is one of the event beams now what you can do is Just hit your Well, you can either connect online or the easier way. I always find this hit your home menu Go to mystery gift and Then click on get wild area news and that will update and It should update then at the same time. So the Exkidrill event will now change to the new event This is a nice way if you've got an event den active And you know the the dens are gonna update very soon Just keep it and then when you they do update just go in do this process and Then once you go back into the den it should change there we go to a five-star Pikachu So we'll just hop straight into it And I'm hoping I really am hoping that this is the inability lightning rod Pikachu Because I'm assuming if you can get the the normal abilities Well, I'm assuming if you can get the hidden abilities that you'll be able to get the normal abilities as well So it's not gonna be lightning rod every time. I don't know though. That might not be the case They might all be lightning rod, but we will catch this Pikachu and we will soon find out I've also got level a hundred Exkidrill they've traded across from my previous games So this is gonna make it a little bit easier to get Although a G max move is super annoying So you're gonna have to contend with paralysis and even being a ground type because of the Secretary effects of its G max move it will be able to paralyze us even though we're not affected by its actual electric type attacks So get this max quake off is five star. Let's see how easy these are to take down Not as easy as in real life, you know There's no way Pikachu really takes a max quake straight up in VG but in the the world of a den Dynamics then it will take it. I kind of like this event. It's cool. It wasn't something I was expecting Then we forget about the surf as well, which is cool and Because what Pikachu can now do if you think about it is in competitive Sense of things is actually set the rain or a Water type attacker that's sitting next to it that would be otherwise threatened by electric type attacks Especially with the lightning rod just pulling them another tax Set the the max guys are away set the rain up and then your water type Especially if it's got swift swim or something. It's quite a nice little combination that you can you can pull with Pikachu so have a Pikachu party and Definitely grab one of these pictures. Well, you can serve Pikachu was like a like one of the original Pikachu events. I think it was in Pokemon Stadium Where you completely the game on the n64 and your gift was a surfing Pikachu, which was really cool And I think they've done subsequent events since then with surfing Pikachu So it's always been something that we've had as an event and but really nice to have it now in sword and shield Hopefully this isn't going to take too much longer to get But the other interesting thing about this then is it's only running for six days So it would suggest that in six days time on Tuesday next week we are gonna have a another installment of G max Pokemon or just another G max Pokemon to get for the remainder of May now whether that is Meowth or Eevee which are the other two Pokemon that were kind of exclusive Pokemon to the launch of sword and shield would be another thing and I'm kind of hoping not because I mean the Eevee will be fine right because then you can you can evolve the Eevee and into what I'd be want and make use of it that way but G max Eevee I haven't actually got it so it'd be kind of nice for my collection But otherwise I'm really tempted to go for the dive ball, but I don't want it to escape I want to check this thing out. So we'll just repeat ball list this time This will give us the best chance to catch this because we've we've already got a Pikachu and our complete decks so Hopefully it doesn't escape. I don't know what the catch rates are like, but I would imagine they're exactly the same as most other dens and And there we go, we actually get the Pikachu so I'm probably gonna make a point of getting one in a dive ball Or trying to get a hidden ability one in a dive ball This could have been the one but never mind. Anyway, so there we go. Let's have a look at the items that we've got we've got the large candy Excel candy Dynamics candy citrus berry helps the rare bone nugget and then the TRs wild charge Thunderbolt and Thunder. It's always nice Thunderbolt always a TR that I'm running lawn So if we can stockpile laws for a little while, it'd be quite good And then we can have a quick and add to this Pikachu so has it got a little lightning rod. It has it's got the lightning rod awesome Okay, well that that is great So and there you can see it has got the surf ball tackle Lights green and then that and remember this was a five-star one. So we were pretty fortunate in that respect Let's have a look at its IV spread and not bad. Not bad. Just that defense stat that isn't best But we can't have everything can we so and That wraps about That wraps up about everything that I wanted to cover in this video my friends remember that it is running from today till next Monday Which is the 18th go have fun grab yourself some g-merks Pikachu get that lightning rod and surf Pikachu while you can and Enjoy the event because it's going to be a lot of fun I think Thanks so much for tuning in if you've enjoyed it do drop a like on the video do subscribe to the channel for more of this content I cover all of the the then updates when they do drop we do other guides and Vg competitive content as well So if you're into Pokemon and love all that sort of thing We've got plenty of that coming out and so thanks again for tuning in take care of yourselves my friends And I will see you all for the next one so until then take care and bye.
