Shiny Galarian Meowth Appearing In Pokemon Sword And Shield This Weekend All three regional variants of Meowth are featured in Max Raid Battles until May 2. Another limited-time Max Raid event is happening now in Pokemon Sword and Shield. This weekend, all three regional variants of Meowth will be featured in Max Raid Battles across both games, and you'll even have a chance to find Shiny Galarian Meowth. Until May 2, Kantonian Meowth, Alolan Meowth, and Galarian Meowth will all appear in Max Raid dens more frequently than usual across the Wild Area, Isle of Armor, and Crown Tundra. Not only is this a good chance to catch Kantonian and Alolan Meowth, which don't normally appear in Sword and Shield, but Gigantamax Meowth and Shiny Galarian Meowth will also be available in five-star Max Raids. Those two will be fairly rare, however, so you'll need to check Raids often if you're hoping to catch them.
