Shiny Boreas Raid bug finally rewards Pokémon Go players

Pokémon Go players will receive compensation after Niantic revealed that shiny Boreas was not appearing in Raids.

Given its nature as an ongoing service game, it’s not surprising to see some bugs affecting the popular title, especially when rolling out new content.

These bugs are certainly frustrating for many players, especially those who have spent money or a lot of time to capture a certain Pokémon, try a new feature, or explore new Raids.

This is exactly what happened whenthe Boreas Raid was launched. This popular 5-star raid was a hit among fans until it was discovered that many players were unable to capture the shiny version.

Naturally, shiny Pokémon are rare, but many have found that the shiny Boreas just doesn’t seem to appear for anyone.

This issue has been fixed and is now available. We will compensate affected players in the coming days. We apologize and appreciate your understanding.»

Many fans were extremely frustrated by this bug and complained about spending unnecessary money on Raid tickets or going out in the cold to try to fill their Pokédex with a powerful shiny, only to be left without success.
