Chances of Shiny
While Latias and Latios are available in raids, you have about a one in twenty (non-cumulative) chance of getting a shiny if the data we’ve received is still the same. This means you could get a shiny Latias or Latios after your first raid, or you could do a hundred or more and never see one. All you can do is keep trying till they flew away. So Good luck on that.
On the other side, Pokémon GO is also celebrating Luna New Year with featured Pokémon, Bonuses, and many more. Please read our complete article covering the complete information regarding the Pokémon GO Lunar New Year event. Or you refer to their official blog post.
