Summary
APokemon GOplayer’s Goomy Community Day experience turned out to be a bittersweet one, as they caught the rarest version of Goomy in the game, a shnundo, only for it to be practically useless.Pokemon GOfans are always looking forward to the Community Day events, especially for those looking to catch shiny variants, thanks to the boosts the event provides.
It’s been raining events inPokemon GOlately, with the various location-based iterations of GO Fest taking place alongside the usual events. While the past season has been a bitshaky forPokemon GOfans with the release of several controversial updatesand events, things have turned around quite a bit this season. And in the first Community Day of the season, a fan shares an interesting encounter.
In a new post on thePokemon GOsubreddit, user StronglyNeutral reveals an extremely rare catch they had during theGoomy Community Day. Stating that they were hoping to catch a hundo in the title, they reveal a nundo they caught during the event. However, what is even more surprising is that it is not just a regular nundo, but a shiny one, which has even slimmer odds of spawning. In fact, it is the rarest Goomy that can be caught in the game.
Why Are Shnundos So Rare In Pokemon GO?
While hundos are a more commonly used term, many players are not aware of shnundos. For starters, hundos are the perfect Pokemon of a type, meaning they have the best stats possible in the game with a 15/15/15 distribution. If a hundo is shiny as well, then it isknown as shundo inPokemon GO. While one might think that’s possibly the rarest Pokemon to have in the game, the reality is a bit counterintuitive.
Instead of the perfect stats being the hardest to find, a Pokemon with the minimum possible distribution is even rarer. Known as nundos, these Pokemon have a distribution of 0/0/0, and they are even more difficult to find as they don’t have the added benefit of weather boosts, lucky trades, and raids and can only be caught in the wild. Shnundos are their shiny variants and ultimate rarities.
Players are always excited to see a shnundo, as it is apretty rare Pokemon to have inPokemon GO, although it might not be that effective in battles due to its strength. Fans are already suggesting creative names for the Pokemon, with one of the most popular ones being “g000my”, with the three zeros signifying the Pokemon’s IV stats. While the Goomy Community Day was well-received by the fanbase due to the overall rates, this fan’s experience surely has been a unique one.
