 Hello friends welcome to today's video where we've got news of a brand new max raid event happening right now in Pokemon Sword and Shield. So it's not two minutes ago since we've had the Milsory event update in Pokemon Sword and Shield that's ran for the last couple of weeks and now we've got an extra bonus event happening right now. We're going to cover all the details in the video and it is in conjunction with the run up to Pokemon Day on the 27th of February. So as of recording this video is the 22nd, the day we're actually due to get an announcement in regards to Pokemon Sword and Shield. We've got all these other announcements running up to Pokemon Day but I'm guessing this event for the max raid is in conjunction with Pokemon Sword and Shield and this is why we've got this added event. So let's not hang about, let's get into all the details here and head over to our trusty sources survey that have already populated all the information in regards to this event. It is coined the Pokemon Day 2022 event and it is running from the 22nd of February as of recording this video until, well we don't know when the event is going to run until. So keep an eye on the pinned comment down below this video and as soon as we've got that information I'll update it there. So starting off as usual in Pokemon Sword we'll cover Pokemon Shield as well as the one star raids. Now just make sure when you've got your one star raids you're only going to have access to these at your very early stages of your play through. You'll have access to the higher star raid dens if you have got more gym badges. So if you've beat the champion you're going to have access to five star raids if you've got your eight gym badges and above obviously you're going to have access to the higher rated raid events that is running. So the one star raids that we've got are starting off as Ditto, Rooka D, Tutile, Blip Blug, Sizzlopeed and Wooloo. You're going to have about a 15 to 17% chance of a spawn of each of these Pokemon appearing in a one star raid. No particular special items here you're going to have your kind of normal items that you would have appearing as normal. The two star raids in Pokemon Sword are going to be again Ditto, Cova Squire, Tutile, Dottler, Sizzlopeed and Wooloo and then the three star raids we're going to see Ditto, Covenite, Dreadnore, Orbital, Center Scorch and Dubwool. So they are the three star raids. Again no massively special items kind of popping out at us here just your kind of standard regular down max candies and other things like berries and TMs etc. Again the spawn rates for the three star raids are around 15 to 17% for majority of them with Ditto being the rarer of the selection in the three star raids. Now getting on to the four star raids. This is where it all changes and gets very exciting because we've now got access in the four star raids to G-Max, Venusol, G-Max Charizard and G-Max Blastoise. So you've got about a 17, 18 and 17% chance for spawning these G-Max Pokemon. Very exciting standard shiny raids so no guarantee Chinese in the four star raids and you're going to get a bunch of really useful items. You're going to get items like the Hondu Berry and the other Eevee reducing berries. So it's going to be an excellent event to take part of to really kind of stock up on these events for Eevee reducing so you can train your teams up, TMs as well and you're going to get other really useful items like the Flame Orb, the Toxic Orb sorry that you're going to get with the Venusol, Flame Orb with the Charizard and you're going to get the Toxic Orb, the Life Orb with the Blastoise as well so some really useful battle items as well as your Dynamax candies and other items like Max Mushrooms and this is all from the four star raids. Now if we move down to the five star raids you've kind of got the same array of Pokemon same kind of spawning chances but these are going to be level 80 opposed to what there will be level 50 and four star raids. So the five star raids again you're going to get a bunch of the really useful items like the Eevee reducing berries, the TMs, Flame Orb, Toxic Orb and Life Orb as well as the kind of Max Mushroom which is another really difficult item to get because you need to make Max Soup and then all of the Dynamax candies and other things that are really useful to buy and get items for building teams and things in the game. So they are the five star raids and the four star raids this is the big news for this event obviously these Gigantamax starter Pokemon are really really good to take advantage of and then we'll go down to Pokemon Shield and yeah everything is exactly the same as in Pokemon Sword so it doesn't matter which copy you have taken part in this event you will be able to access the same Pokemon in the same star ratings. So remember it is running from today and keep an eye on that pin section in the in the comment section and I will update with the end date so you know exactly when it is ending and I'll also put a community post up as well to remind people that the event is coming to an end just before it does. So hopping into game because this is where it comes into us doing it so if you are new to doing raid dens what you want to do is in game come to your mystery gifts and if you've got a raid den open I'll show you now so we've got the military event still running in our game but if we come into our mystery gifts what you want to do to update all of your dens around the area now this will be the wild area this will be the crown tundra and the isle of armor all the dens in all of these areas will be able to access these event dens so you want to come in to get wild area news and this will connect you to the internet once you're connected it will pop up with this message saying that oh your your wild area has been updated and it'll set the date and once we go back into the den it should have changed to there we go gmax venus or so we've got that straight away now if you're having trouble getting the gmax pokemon say you want to go from a four star to a five star there is a way to date skip to change the pokemon in the den i'm sure a lot of you are aware of this already but if you're not then all you need to do is just click invite others once this starts ticking away the timer you want to hit your home menu come down into system settings go into system then down to date and time make sure that your clock is off via the internet so i'll just hide the camera there so it's off and then you want to come down to date and time just hit the day forward one click okay hit your home menu come back into the game and then just quit out of the the raid den that you're currently in and you want to be offline when you're doing this as well you'll notice when you come back into the raid den that you'll get 2000 more watts and then the pokemon will change so now we've got a orbital so you want to just kind of continue doing this process over again of just changing the date until you get the desired pokemon that you want in the den so it can take a little bit of time but if you've got patience you'll get them in no time at all it doesn't really take too long to cycle through the dens in at the same time you'll kind of cycle in watts as well so there we go we've got the five star venus or which is great so the one thing that you can do as well is if you want to get one of these dens you've got to make sure that it is a red beam and not one of the rarer purple beams i come to this area in dappled grove so i'll show you on the map exactly where it is it is in the main kind of wild area but it is right here on the map and the reason is because i come between two red dens here so you can just go from one to the other so if we want to summon one you can just need wishing pieces which you can only do you can only manipulate the beams with a wishing piece that you've put down into this den so you can check this and there we go we get the the red event straight away but what you can do if you don't get it is just run straight over to this one drop another wishing piece there and then come back and drop another wishing piece until you get the red beam that has the event pokemon in and you'll know it's the event pokemon because you'll either get one of the pokemon from the list that we've been through or it'll be a pokemon different to what would normally be in that den so as i say once you get the pokemon that you want you can either save in front of it now but i'm assuming that these are going to be pretty easy to get a hold of you want to switch pokemon because i don't know what i've got ah we've got land rest so all right and then we just invite others you can go online and invite others if you want or you can just dive in and just take advantage of getting these gmax pokemon while they are available and here we go there is the gmax charizard they do have the stand standard shiny rates so there is a possibility to get them as a shiny but they haven't got a guaranteed shiny rate like some of the other kind of special events that we get for the max rates so friends that is all the details with how you access this event and take advantage of it and get yourself gmax venus or gmax blastoise and gmax charizard in pokemon sword and shield right now so i hope you found this video useful thank you so much for tuning in have a great rest of your day have fun with the event let me know down below in the comment section which one of these is your favorite gmax pokemon and will you be getting and taking advantage of this event while it is running so thanks again friends take care look forward to reading through all the comments and i'll see you in the next video so until then take care and bye bye
