The latest Max Raid Battle event is now live in Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield – and it’s an Easter celebration.

Azumarill, Lopunny, and Diggersby are more likely to appear. Lucky players may even encounter a Shiny Azumarill. And if that wasn’t enough, Gigantamax Cinderance may appear in five-star Max Raid Battles. While it can’t be caught, it’s possible to earn extra candies by defeating it.
