Why does Corsola look shiny in raid battles?

Question

Whenever I do a Galarian Corsola raid they always have a grey skin like the shiny form, but the branches are white. Whenever I catch them they end up being regular white. Why does this happen?

Comments

Raid battles have purple light so perhaps it makes it look more purple/pink then normal?

Answer 1

Well two things. When shiny, the branches stay the same and the base of the Corsola is darker. Next, this is a hard thing to notice but during raids it is hard to see if the Pokémon is shiny because of the glare. In fact, I encountered a Shiny Charizard in a raid and I didn’t know it was shiny till the raid ended because of the glare. They need to fix that. Hope this helps you.
