Possible final boss of a Dynamax Adventure; shiny odds are about 1 in 300 per catch, or 1 in 100 with the Shiny Charm, and you only see whether it is shiny on the results screen. Can be caught once per save. Only Sword hosts get it as a boss, though the other version can meet it by joining such a host.
