 Hello friends, welcome back to another episode here on the channel. I hope you're all doing great and for anyone new to the channel, my name is Lee, also known as Osiris. In today's episode, we are going to be discussing all the details on how you're going to be able to obtain one of the three Alola starters in this weekend's brand new Max raid event that's happening right now in Pokemon Sword and Shield. So as you can see, our trusty source over at Sarah B. Joe has updated us last night, actually, when the news dropped about the new event, which is running from the 1st of October till the 3rd of October. So we got a few days to take advantage of this, but this event allows us the ability to catch the Alola starters, which has only been accessible previously through a gift option through Pokemon Home. So if you missed that event, then you I wouldn't have had the opportunity to get these starters. Now you've got the opportunity to get them in game, which is good. And there's some added bonuses to that as well. And we're getting to that as we go through the video. So as you can see, the details are here. It is running from the 1st of October till the 3rd. And if we hop over to Sarah B. net, all the links to Sarah B will be down in the description if you want to jump over and check out these details for yourself. And you can see here, obviously, the first is today as of recording this video till the 3rd of October is when the event is running. So I can say we've got a few days to take advantage of this event. So you've got plenty of time to grab these Pokemon when you can. So starting off with the one star raids, I'm going to skip right through to the five star because the Pokemon are exactly the same for whatever star raid you're going to be getting in in the game. The only difference will be the items that you'll have in potentially hidden abilities. So you can see the one star raids are going to be Rowlet Litten and popular. They all have 20% and this is kind of the case as you go through the one star, the two star raids, the three star raids, four star raids and then into the five star raids, which do give you, like I say, a little more item give out payout if you go for those higher star raids. The rarity does change a little bit. Unfortunately for this event, unlike previous events we've had, there is no increased or guaranteed shiny chance. The shiny rates will be as normal. So you'll still be able to get these Pokemon as shinies in this event, but there is no kind of guaranteed shiny on that tiny percentage that we'd normally see on like 1% or something like that. So that's Pokemon Sword. Pokemon Shield is exactly the same. So whichever variant of the game that you have, you'll have the same chances across the board to get these Pokemon. So as you can see, the five star raids, no special items are really being given out. You just get a bunch of the usual stuff, the berries, the candies and so on and a few TMs depending on what Pokemon you do get. So like I say, this is pretty brief, but I don't feel like we need to spend too much time on this particular area. We know what we're going to get. They are the Alola starters. There's only three of them. We know they're going to be available throughout the dens. They're available in all star raids and it is running from the first to the third. So that wraps us up. So let's jump into game. So once we're in game, I'm going to show you exactly where I go for these sort of dens because in previous videos people have asked whereabouts I go in particular to get these Pokemon and make it a little bit easier for us. So what I want to do is first fly to the Galar area and just to reiterate the point that any den in the Galar area, Ilarama or the Crown Tundra, you can do this event over the weekend. So where I am flying to just show you on the map again, it is going to be the meetup spot in the wild area in the main kind of Galar region. So everyone should have access to this. It's early part of the game as well. And what you want to do is just take this path as you come out. You want to head left and you want to be heading towards Drapled Grove. So this is an area where there are two dens right next to each other and it does make it a lot easier for actually finding the event den because the event den itself is something that you're going to have to spawn. Now don't do this method that I'm showing you if you want to skip dens and things like that without spawning the den because if it's just a den that spawns on its own randomly, it will not. It will not be able to be manipulated. So this is where you are. You can see there's two dens here and you can run in between both dens, which makes it a heck of a lot easier. And I'll just show you on the map whereabouts it is in the wild area. You can see there, Dappled Grove. So this is the first step. The next step is you want to be able to have a Pokemon with Trace in your party because there is the ability to get these Lullen starters with their hidden abilities. So that has been confirmed. So to save you a little bit of time, you want a Pokemon with the Trace ability. Now I've got a God of War that I've traded in from Pokemon home. There are a bunch of other Pokemon that do have the Trace ability. What this allows you to do is lead it into battle. It will trace the ability of the Pokemon that you're going into the den with and if it has a hidden ability, then you can catch it. If it doesn't, you can restart the game, skip to the next den and then kind of proceed from there until you get the one you want. The other big thing about this event is the Lullen starters are now going to be available to get in different balls other than poker balls, which they've only been exclusively available with up to this point in Sword and Shield. So that's a really nice little bonus that we're going to be able to have going into this one. So like I said, these are the two dens. What you want to do is I'm just going to check this den here because this might be an event then that we've used for previous ones. So what you want to do basically to start off is you want to come down to your menu screen mystery gifts and then you want to get wild area news. Now this will connect you to the internet. This will update your game with the current event that is running in the wild area right now. You'll get a message once you're connected to the internet will say that the all the dens pretty much have been updated. So if we go back into this den, it may have changed to the starters and it is we've got the den here. So for those of you that don't have a den already spawned with an event then in it, what you can do is you really want to just come between these two. And this is why I choose this area is come to this first den here. Drop a wishing piece into it. Once you've done the update, you should be able to see if it is the event then or not. And as you can see straight away, it is the event then now if this first one isn't you can run across to this then so it takes literally two seconds drop a wishing piece into this den and then check that this one is the event and you can see that is the regular den here, but it has removed the previous den. So this is how it works. And again, you just repeat this method over and over and over again until you do get the event den back that you're looking for. And like I say, it does cost a few wishing pieces, but at the same time, it will save you a bunch of time. And once you've got that event then like we have here, you can just save the game and then kind of proceed on to the next step in this video. Once you've got the event done here, what you want to do if you've got the event starter that you're after then that's fine. But for this one, I would like Linn. So what I'm going to do is just invite others. I'm just going to show you a method how to skip the den once you've got the beam and then you can change the Pokemon to get the preferred one that you want. So once you're inviting others, you hit your home menu, you come down to system settings, you come down to system and then you want to come down to date and time and then you want to make sure that your synchronized clock by the internet is off. You want to come down to date and time here. Skip the day for one day. Click OK. Hit your home menu again. Come back into the game. Then you want to hit B. You want to quit out of the den and then this should quit out. You'll skip the day. You'll see the weather's changed. It might not change, but it normally does change. And then when you come back into the den, you'll see energies pouring out of the den again. You'll get 2000 watts of the den. You know you've done the skip ride and then you come back in and the Pokemon should have changed. But this time sometimes it will happen and it'll happen more regular wet in this event where there's only three Pokemon available and it's popular again as a three star. But we'll do it once more time just to make sure and I understand that this is a method that probably a lot of you are already well aware of. But for those of you that don't know it is a very useful method to kind of get the actual Pokemon that you want the specific one that you want from the den and you can see that it changes to Rowlet and it will try third time lucky and hopefully it will change odds or in our favor to the to the Litton that we're after for this particular den. And if it is then we can go in and I can show you the trace ability with with God of War or whichever Pokemon that you've got the trace ability with just to make sure that you are saving a bit of time. So there you can see done at the third time we do get the Litton. So at this point what you want to do is you want to save the game because we are going in now to check if it has got the hidden ability and we can do that like I say with the God of War. We don't want to invite others at this point. We've got the save point. If it's not the hidden ability on Litton then what we can do is just reset and then come back out and we can do the the day skip again and then hopefully run into another Litton at a later point and hopefully that one has its hidden ability. This one has blaze unfortunately. So we know that this isn't the hidden ability variant. Like I say what we can do is just quit out of the game now because we know it hasn't got the hidden ability. It's not the one that we want and we come back into the game and we'll proceed that process once again. Okay. So now we're back in the game again. We're at that save point that we had before with the full star Litton. We've already checked that it hasn't got the hidden ability. So what we want to do is just do that day skip again invite others. We go through the same process. We change the Pokemon in the den go down to system settings. We go down to system. We go down to date and time down to date. Skip forward one day. Click OK back into the game. Quit out of the den and that will the trick the game into finger of day is past. The Pokemon should have changed. We'll go back into the den. It is a roulette. So it's not the Litton that we're after what we want to be doing at this point is getting to the next Litton in the in the den by skipping to it. There we go. So we've got a five star Litton if that makes sense. So what we want to do again at this point is just save the game once again. We're at the next kind of progression in this stage of trying to get a hidden ability starter. We don't invite others. We've got the God of War. Like I say it does help us speed up. It just means that you're with the trace. You're not having to actually catch the Pokemon specifically when we're going after an ability. It does make this process a little bit quicker and then we can kind of get the Pokemon that we're after. Now it might be a case that only five star Pokemon have the ability to have their hidden ability. Fortunately, this Litton doesn't so what I'm going to do is carry on. We'll reset the game again and then we'll keep skipping until we get to the next Litton and then we get the one with the hidden ability. Okay, we're back again. We've got another Litton and this one does have a hidden ability finally and I can confirm that you don't need to have a five star raid to get the hidden ability. So you can jump in here. Like I say, the trace doesn't matter too much with the Litton if you're going for the hidden ability with that one because the Intimidate will actually proxy be able to see that before we get into the battle to save you a little bit of time anyway but with Rowlet and Popplio obviously with liquid voice on Popplio and long reach on the Rowlet. You're not going to be able to tell about those abilities if they've got them or not without the trace ability and that's why it will help a little bit here. So you can see it is the Intimidate one. Finally, we've got it. So it does confirm that the hidden abilities are accessible through this event. You're going to be able to get the hidden ability a lowland starters in special Pokeballs, whichever ones you want going to be easy enough to catch. They don't have guaranteed catch rates, but just make sure if you've got the Pokemon that you're hunting, make sure to save before going into the den. So if it does escape, you can reset your game, go back into it and then you can catch the Pokemon. But that about wraps up all the details for this event. Obviously, we've got a few days so you got till Sunday evening to take advantage of this. Get these a lowland start as well are available in game. This is a really nice event. I feel running at the minute. It isn't a shiny event which isn't great. We all want Chinese but at the same time there is the chance to get these as shinies and you can use other methods to get the shinies and their chances are regular for a den Pokemon anyway. So there is a chance that they can appear as a shiny. There is just no guaranteed shiny chance within this event. But friends, I hope you found this guide today useful. This update, this news update useful and I hope you have a lot of fun catching these a lowland starters. Let me know which one that you are catching down below in the comment section. Would love to hear which one you're going after and if you're going after the hidden abilities or not and if the trace and kind of tip has been helpful for you. So thank you so much for tuning in. Have a great rest of your day and I'll catch you all for another episode on the channel very soon. Until then friends, take care of yourselves and bye bye.
