How to Catch Zeraora
To celebrate the new Isle of Armor DLC in Pokemon Sword and Shield, a brand-new community challenge has been introduced in the form of a Zeraora Max Raid Battle. This event will be up and running until the 28th of June.
If one million or more players defeat Zeraora in the Max Raid Battle, then every one of those players will earn themselves a Shiny Zeraora.
Currently, this is the only way to obtain Zeraora as you cannot catch it during a battle, and nor does it spawn in the wild.
The only other way to get Zeraora in Sword and Shield is by transferring it from another game using HOME cloud service.

Volt Absorb: When Zeraora gets struck by an Electric move, it regenerates 25% of its max HP.
