1/25 odds to get a shiny in Dynamax Adventures, it looks like. Pretty darn good odds. Just catch everything you fight.

Odds of getting a shiny are confirmed much higher than what people thought.

Did a VERY lazyish test, but it looks like the boost from Dragon's Maw is about 30%-40%. No hard numbers, but probably close. Smacked a Claydoll with a Flygon then Regidrago. Their attack stats were pretty close, and it looked like Drago did about 30% more than Flygon. Don't take this as a hard...

I'm inclined to agree, but I just didn't like bringing a pokemon like Drampa as a comparison point.

Drampa is significantly slower, and is less bulky. Gotta take the stats into account.

I'd argue OG Articuno didn't have garbage stats, so much as the typing just counteracting what bulk it had. 90/100/125 was good bulk, and arguably still is. 95 special attack isn't great, but it's just enough to be OK. But Ice is such an awful typing that it undoes all of that. Especially since...

Can't imagine they'd give any move a 30% chance to freeze.

So it's not awful, as I said. Let's not pretend that G Zapdos isn't at least good. It has what it needs.

Awful how? Blaze Kick and Stomping Tantrum would cover what it can't use its STABs to deal with. Fighting/Flying isn't even bad coverage to begin with.

It's stuck on a special tank that cannot heal. I think it might see use down in RU or NU perhaps.

Resetting puts you way back at the start of the raid, so you'd have to go and fight everything all over again regardless.

Oof, Thunder Cage isn't worth the slot. Thunder/Thunderbolt/Wild Charge seem to be just better.

It still is. And, good thing, you can choose not to keep the pokemon and you'll be given the option to specifically hunt it down later. Just gotta talk to the scientist lady. So no, it's not a big deal.

That's a lot of power, holy crud. Rider form is gonna be nuts.

Curious to see how the Ice riding form fares, since it's got a bad type combo and is still very slow. But its stat total is still pretty bonkers for a place like OU.
