Summary
APokemon GOplayer has made many in the community quite jealous after catching an extremely rare shundo in their first few days in the game. The fact that manyPokemon GOfans highlighted that they have been playing the game for years but still couldn’t get one speaks volumes about the importance of the feat.
Just like the other Pokemon games, catching a shiny is by far one of the most sought aspects ofPokemon GO. While Niantic organizes some special events from time to time to give players a chance to add a shiny Pokemon to their collection, on a regular day, it is extremely hard to find one. The best odds are by far forLegendary Pokemon inPokemon GO, which can have a shiny rate of 1 in 20. However, even that isn’t that straightforward, as the rates don’t stack up, which means the odds reset every time players have an encounter. Despite these barriers, it seems like a newPokemon GOplayer has hit the jackpot without having to go through the shiny hunting grind.
In a new post on thePokemon GOsubreddit, user _yes_no_maybe showcases their rare catch inPokemon GO. The player posted a picture of theirshiny Bagon inPokemon GOwhich they had caught recently. What makes the encounter even more impressive is the fact that it is not just a regular shiny Pokemon, but instead, a shundo.
Pokemon GO Fans Aren’t Able To Digest That A New Player Caught A Shundo Bagon
Shundo is a popular term used in the Pokemon communityfor a Pokemon that is both shiny and hundo. The latter refers to Pokemon which have 100% IV. So basically, a Shundo is the best Pokemon of any species a player can find inPokemon GO. Considering how slim the odds of catching a hundo are, the fact that it is shiny as well makes it one of the rarest aspects ofPokemon GO.
While the player likely caught this during therecent Bagon Community Day, which has boosted shiny rates, several players struggled to get one with even half-decent stats. In fact, many fans highlighted that they have been playing the game for several years now, but have never come across a shundo. Some really mind-boggling stats include a player who has caught 81,000 Pokemon, while another has been playing the game for eight years, but neither of them has a shundo. While many congratulated the player for achieving this rare feat, some were also quick to share their jealousy over the entire incident.
