Trainers in the Paldea region have another exciting opportunity to add a rare Shiny Legendary Pokemon to their collections. The highly anticipated Shiny Chien-Pao distribution event is now active in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, offering players a chance to obtain this coveted Ice/Dark-type Pokemon along with valuable Tera Shards.

Chien-Pao, one of the four legendary Treasures of Ruin from Paldea, typically boasts impressive Attack and Speed stats, making it a formidable opponent in battles. The Shiny variant features a unique color scheme that distinguishes it from its regular counterpart. This special distribution comes after players successfully completed a global challenge by defeating Shiny Chien-Pao in Tera Raid battles over 2.9 million times.

The Mystery Gift distribution window runs from August 21 to September 30, giving trainers ample time to claim their Shiny Chien-Pao. Along with the Pokemon itself, players will receive 400 bonus Tera Shards as a reward for the community's exceptional performance during the raid event.
