Giratina (Altered Forme) 5-Star Raid Spoofing Guide (Nov 4–8, 2026): Shiny Odds, Best Counters & Power Spot Coordinates
Giratina Altered Forme raid spoofing is the move this week because the boss flips from Origin Forme at 6am on Wednesday, Nov 4, 2026, running through Sunday, Nov 8, with a dedicated Raid Hour that same evening from 6-7pm local time. Here’s the shiny rate, the counters, and the coordinates worth using.
Quick answer
Giratina (Altered Forme) replaces Origin Forme in Pokémon GO 5-star raids from Wednesday, Nov 4 at 6am through Sunday, Nov 8, 2026, local time, with a Raid Hour on Nov 4 from 6-7pm giving extra raid spawns. Shiny Altered Giratina is live at the standard legendary rate of roughly 1 in 20. Mega Rayquaza, Shadow Haxorus, Dawn Wings Necrozma and Origin Forme Dialga or Palkia are the strongest counters against its Dark/Dragon/Fairy/Ghost/Ice weaknesses.

Origin Forme Giratina’s run ended Tuesday, Nov 3. From Wednesday, Nov 4 at 6:00am local time through Sunday, Nov 8, Altered Forme Giratina takes over every 5-star raid slot, running alongside the new Shadow Tornadus (Incarnate Forme) rotation that starts the same morning. That’s a five-day window, shorter than some legendary rotations, so if you’re farming for a shundo or just stacking candy for a Dragon-type team, don’t leave it to the weekend.

Raid Hour: Wednesday Nov 4, 6-7pm Local Time
Niantic is running a one-hour Altered Forme Giratina Raid Hour on launch day, from 6:00 to 7:00pm local time. During that window 5-star raids spawn far more frequently than normal, which matters a lot if you’re hopping between gyms with a spoofed GPS location rather than relying on whatever happens to be live nearby.
No free raid passes are handed out for Raid Hour the way they are on a full Raid Day, so you’re working with whatever Remote Raid Passes or free daily passes you’ve already stocked. Plan your gym list before 6pm hits rather than scrambling once the hour starts.
Shiny Giratina Altered Forme Odds
Shiny Altered Giratina is live during this rotation. Legendary 5-star raid bosses carry Niantic’s standard boosted shiny rate, which works out to roughly 1 in 20 per encounter, and a shiny legendary is a guaranteed catch once it appears. That rate hasn’t changed for this rotation, there’s no special shiny boost event layered on top the way there sometimes is for Community Day. If you want real odds at a shundo or just a shiny, volume is what matters, run as many raids as your pass stock allows rather than hoping one lucky encounter does the work.

Vital Security Step: Hide Your IP
Spoofing your GPS without hiding your IP is a red flag to Niantic’s anti-cheat system – if your GPS says one location and your IP says another, you risk detection. We use Surfshark VPN because its GPS-override feature matches your IP to your spoofed location automatically.
