Zekrom was introduced in Generation V of the Pokémon series as one of the two box art mascots for Pokémon Black and Pokémon White. This jet-black Dragon/Electric Pokémon is a formidable Legendary within the Unova Region.
As far as Shiny versions of Pokémon go, Zekrom's form is pretty underwhelming. Zekrom is typically black with a few green highlights. A shiny Zekrom retains its predominately black features, but simply has more green bits on its tail.
Still, no Shiny Pokémon is unwanted among trainers. But can Zekrom be Shiny in Pokémon GO?
Luckily for you completionists out there, Zekrom's Shiny form is available in the five-star raids. Your chances of finding one are still slim — about 1 in 500 — but Shiny Pokémon aren't visible in Raid battles until the bonus challenge occurs.
Luckily, you'll have a week in the new event to challenge as many Zekrom as you can to find that Shiny.
