Earlier this week, The Pokemon Company revealed a new Zeraora Max Raid Event for Pokemon Sword And Shield, with the condition that if over 1 million players manage to beat it, everyone will receive a shiny version of the Mythical Pokemon.

Recently, the Pokemon Company published a progress update on their PlayPokemon Twitter account. As of today, over 272,335 players have defeated Zeraora. This is just over a quarter of the way towards the goal of 1 million, which must be reached before June 28th in order for everyone to receive the shiny version as a gift.

Great start, Trainers! Over 272,335 of you have defeated Zeraora so far! 🏆 We're well on our way to our goal of 1 million!
