Can't wait to catch it? Don't worry, I'll provide you with a detailed guide that will show you step by step how to catch Dondozo and Shiny Dondozo.
How To Catch Dondozo?
First of all, Dondozo isn't just any Pokémon you can find. You'll need to challenge Raid Boss during Sunkissed Shores event. This event runs from August 25th to August 31st, during which time Dondozo will appear as a 3-star Raid Boss.
First of all, Dondozo isn't just any Pokémon you can find. You'll need to challenge Raid Boss during Sunkissed Shores event. This event runs from August 25th to August 31st, during which time Dondozo will appear as a 3-star Raid Boss.
Some players may ask, this event only lasts for a few days. If I accidentally miss it, will I still have a chance to get Dondozo?
Of course! However, after the event ends, players can only obtain it by encountering and defeating Dondozo, Raid Boss, in a Raid.
How To Defeat Dondoz?
Since Dondozo is a Water-type Pokémon, to defeat it easily, you'll need to carefully select some powerful Electric or Grass-type Pokémon and level them up using Pokémon Go PokéCoins.
Here are some excellent Pokémon recommendations, making sure their special moves are Grass-type or Electric-type attacks:
- Sceptile: A top Grass-type Pokémon, combining speed and power.
- Raikou: A legendary Electric-type Pokémon that easily deals with Water-type Pokémon.
- Electivire: A classic Electric-type Pokémon that shouldn't be underestimated.
- Thundurus: A high-damage Electric-type Pokémon, perfect for intense battles with Dondozo.
When choosing your battle lineup, you might also consider bringing Shadow Pokémon and Mega Evolution Pokémon; their high damage output will help you defeat Dondozo quickly, increasing your chances of catching it.
Can A Single Player Easily Handle Dondozo?
Thinking of taking on Dondozo alone? Think twice. While 3-star Raids aren't particularly difficult in themselves, Dondozo's powerful defenses make him a tough challenge.
If you can bring along the powerful Grass types and Electric types Pokémon mentioned above, your chances of completing it solo are pretty high thanks to their high levels and powerful strength.
However, if you are an elite trainer in Pokémon, it is recommended that you form a team with 2-3 friends so that you can easily defeat Dondozo even if you encounter challenges. After all, cooperation with multiple people is always safer than fighting alone.
How To Get Shiny Dondozo?
Yes, Dondozo not only has a normal form, but also a Shiny version! This is an irresistible temptation for all Shiny Pokémon lovers. In particular, Shiny Dondozo will be unlocked on the first day of the event, meaning that as long as you participate in a Raid during the event, you have a chance to encounter this Shiny Dondozo.
Unfortunately, your chances of getting a Shiny Dondozo won't increase during the event. Simply put, you might need to participate in multiple Raids to increase your chances of encountering a Shiny Dondozo. Remember, getting anything you want always requires luck and patience!
Overall, Dondozo is a Pokémon worth your time to catch. Remember to actively participate in Raids, prepare a strong lineup of Grass and Electric Pokémon, and cooperate with friends to enjoy this challenging and fun Pokémon Go!
