Alakazam shiny

The leak has also stated that the Alakazam shiny variant will be available. While the odds of a shiny encounter aren't specified, it is believed Niantic will increase the chances of a shiny to anywhere between 1.3% to 5.6% depending on the event.

In addition to this, the leak also states that there will be five raid passes given for free. This means a minimum of five attempts should you be active throughout the three hour window. More raid passes can be purchased.

The best Alakazam counters are Mewtwo and Tyranitar, followed by Scizor, Houndoom, Gyarados and Dragonite.


The leak

The leak comes from the same source that has been correct on previous leaks. These include the Valentine's Day event, Rayquaza, Deoxys and Dialga.

Plenty of leaks have been proven false but in this case the source is as reliable as it comes.
