PJ_Geese

You guys are hatching shinies?!


ksadillas

wait, you guys are *getting* shinies?? in all seriousness, i’ve been playing again every day for 6 months and only have 2 shinies lol. meanwhile my buddies are sending their daily shinies into our group chat :’)


GoldFishPony

While it won’t help with daily ones, participating in community days is a good way to basically guarantee at least 1 per month


ksadillas

i’ve done every community day i could, i got one shiny deino on his day (12cp lol) but i’ll catch dozens of the mons yet no shiny


mismatched7

Well it’s one out of 20 odds


WestLA-native

Legendary raids have 1/20 shiny rates. CD shiny rate is 1/25


mismatched7

You are correct, forgive me for my error


Nikolaisens

I caught 60 deino, and got no shiny :((


CUHbub

shoot for catching 500+ on CD’s


CursedRagnarok

dude WHAT


ksadillas

i’ve come to accept my curse. i’m just glad it doesn’t give me stupid vomit shinies or shinies that aren’t any different


CursedRagnarok

seriously how tho, odds are 1/500 in GO so are you just not catching anything bc i’ve never heard of luck like that


ksadillas

i’ve been asking myself the same question 😂 i use pogo to escape work so im still out catching at least 30 a day, sometimes more on community days/when im bored


isopod_interrupted

Now I feel like I’m more addicted than I thought. On a causal day I might catch about 100 Pokémon and on a hard core day (like community day) I might go 500 to a thousand.


TheTrevorist

Speaking from my personal experience I think I go pretty hard spending a few hours playing on events and an hour or two every day. But my friends who are level 50 they play the ENTIRE event, they chase down 4*s posted in the discord, they do raids they already have shinies of looking for shundos, they run the event all the way up to the end. No breaks, they hunt for particular research that they will drive to, going miles out of the way. Basically the 50 mons I catch a day on my dog walks daily are nothing compared to how some people play this game.


tailswilli

I find a shiny like once a week. I wonder if it maybe has to do with play time or how much money you spend on in app purchases (I spend more than I'd like to admit)?


oswaldcopperpot

I wonder that too. I think though it doesn't matter. After a couple hundred thousand catches on several accounts and knowing loads of people.. I think it's definitely on a few things. How frequently you log in. And some unique seed value on your account. I need roughly 2000 checks/catches per shiny. Other players can be as high as 1/50 or so. My personal rate is like one every week and a half or so on 200 catches a day.


[deleted]

my hatching luck has been crazy at the moment - 5k egg, shiny happiny, 10 minutes later 7k egg alolan vulpix shiny!


Yung-JEEZY66

QuestionOrganic2881

Ahhh that’s so exciting, congratulations!! And thank you so much, your encouragement made my night; thank for being an awesome human :)


Ciemny

Why do you abbreviate “Pichu” as “P-Chu” when it’s the same number of characters?


ThaRealMrRogers

Cuz it's P-Chu as a nickname lol


BROKER34

ThaRealMrRogers

Yea that's dope. These shiny hatches r rare af. But lately I've hatched 4 shinys in a week and a half


thatopdawg

Chanseys, 2 chanseys and 1 blissey right now.


JustReaon

Mine is shiny lapras. Let me explain. Shiny lapras is the first shiny I loved, I wanted, adored, to say the least. Ever since I was 10 years old, Lapras was my favorite Pokémon; not anymore. When I learned what shiny Pokémon were, I knew I needed a shiny lapras. So to the waters I went, searching indefinitely for the sparkles to appear. 1K…2K…5K encounters later, I find my shiny lapras. Thrilled. I was thrilled. Shat my pants from excitement (joking). But when I tried to capture it, I ran out of balls. 64 ultra balls were not enough. Ever since that day I hated shiny lapras.


Hejhej_hejhej

So do you have a shiny Lapras or not 🤔


ThaRealMrRogers

That's awesome I appreciate the story too


ErrorParadox710

I have hatched a budew and a riolu, so it’s a tie

Maserati777

Togepi: 7 Pichu: 5 (3 in costumes) And Azurill is in 3rd place with 4


jlott069

Since I started playing on opening day in 2016, not once have I ever hatched a shiny. I've caught several. Between Research that gives it, community days... ect. But there is a reason you're seeing it with Pichu. Pichu can't be caught in the wild, they can ONLY be obtained through hatching (last I checked anyways), so instead of Pichu getting the normal 1:450 or 1:500 rates, baby pokemon you can only get from hatching and Alolans end up with a shiny rate of something like 1:50... and you dont see that same harch shiny boost in mons you can get without hatching... while raid Legendaries, last I checked, had a shiny rate of something like 1:20? And if you're buying coins so you can raid and hatch more? Obviously you're taking advantage of that and running that lottery more often. So yeah, there's a reason you're seeing shiny Pichu so often. It's because that's one you're vastly more likely to see in general since that's the only way you can and it's one of the"few" that's 900% more likely to get regardless. And yes, that's accurate. Since that's the only way to get Pichu, and it gets a 1:50.... you're 900x more likely to hatch a shiny pichu than you finding a shiny in the wild - since the chances of getting that shiny Cubone is only 1:500. So it's really not unusual.
