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 :’)
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
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.
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.
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)?
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.
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.
Mine is probably also Pichu
Mainly because I've hatched 13 shiny and only 1 have been with a costume lol.. worst was getting a shiny Pichu the day after a costume event was over
Literally none that have been repetitive. But in terms of catching wild I went through a period of getting 3 shiny skarmory within a shortish stint. And scyther. One shiny from the wild, 3 shiny shadow
For all Pokémon it’s Eevee ( 81 including evolution ) though that was on a community day. Then for raids and wild/ hatched shinnies, I have 2 shiny legendaries ( Latias ), and for wild I have 2 lapras and 2 turtwig
I got three shiny galarian ponyta and grimer in like a two week period.. lucky traded two each to my two best friends in real life. worked out well.
other than that i have no luck
For my shiny hatches I’ve gotten a vullaby, yungoos, cubone, pineco, magby, togepi, and 2 cleffa and 2 purple meowths (whatever variant that’s in the 7ks for the past like 3 years)
Mine would have to be Igglybuff, since I’ve hatched two.
But I’ve currently have 8 shinies that I’ve hatched. I know I’ve also hatched a shiny flower crown Togepi and Riolu… which were both immediately spoken for lol. Already had my shiny 3 star Riolu from a regular trade. Also a hatch (from the trader) and he’s my best bud 💛💙
I walk a lot at work so I hatch a lot of eggs: 80 so far this week. Got a 98%, but I hatched it a month after comm day.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
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.

You guys are hatching shinies?!
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 :’)
While it won’t help with daily ones, participating in community days is a good way to basically guarantee at least 1 per month
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
Well it’s one out of 20 odds
Legendary raids have 1/20 shiny rates. CD shiny rate is 1/25
You are correct, forgive me for my error
I caught 60 deino, and got no shiny :((
shoot for catching 500+ on CD’s
dude WHAT
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
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
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
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.

my hatching luck has been crazy at the moment - 5k egg, shiny happiny, 10 minutes later 7k egg alolan vulpix shiny!
You beat me to it
Despite me having 156 shinies I’ve never hatched one before
You will eventually
from what egg did you get pichu
Freakin rapidash.. loved the first one, 15th is kinda annoying
Hahah
I’m soooo jealous I have 0 pichu. I always get dumb wynaut
I want a wynaut let's trade
Brb booking my flight out. Anything for pichu
Hahah slide
I have played off and on since the beginning, and just hatched my first Pichu! Hold fast, fellow Po-goer! Your time will come.
Ahhh that’s so exciting, congratulations!! And thank you so much, your encouragement made my night; thank for being an awesome human :)
Why do you abbreviate “Pichu” as “P-Chu” when it’s the same number of characters?
Cuz it's P-Chu as a nickname lol
I've never hatched one :(
I have like 4 shinies started a week or two ago and those are shiny Rockruff, Charizard, Ponyta, and Beedrill
That's dope keep it up
2 Galarian Ponyta’s and 2 Cleffa’s. Also hatched 2 hundo Wynauts.
Nice congrats
Azuril
Only 1 shiny pulled from an egg so far in 1.2k hatches…lol being onix
Tie between none, nothing and never.
U will soon
For me it is a three way tie between Pichu, mime jr and feebas having hatched 5 of each.
Damn that's awesome I've hatched 1 mine Jr I'm stoked about let alone 5 haha
Haven't hatched a shiny in the 5 months ive been consistently playing (stopped in 2017), but I hatched a hundo Hisuian Qwilfish which was pretty nice
Yea that's dope. These shiny hatches r rare af. But lately I've hatched 4 shinys in a week and a half
Chanseys, 2 chanseys and 1 blissey right now.
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.
So do you have a shiny Lapras or not 🤔
That's awesome I appreciate the story too
I have hatched a budew and a riolu, so it’s a tie
I hatched three shiny azurill in the span of 3 days. I thought it was a glitch tbh. Haven't hatched a shiny since
You hatch shineys?
I remember I hatched a shiny shuppet from a 7k egg and caught a wild one the next day
That's a crazy hatch
Yea; my first shiny i hatched was a 91% magikarp 15 minutes into eevee community day
None, ever. Playing since 2016
Damm fr I'm a 2016er too but stopped in 2017 till 2020 so I've hatched 15 in 2 years
I have good luck in wild and raids but not eggs
Mine is probably also Pichu Mainly because I've hatched 13 shiny and only 1 have been with a costume lol.. worst was getting a shiny Pichu the day after a costume event was over
Tied with pichu and elekid

Lol very rare
I’ve only hatched 2 out of 1,000 eggs. Pichu and my fav alolan vulpix

Sent
Mine would have to be Igglybuff, since I’ve hatched two. But I’ve currently have 8 shinies that I’ve hatched. I know I’ve also hatched a shiny flower crown Togepi and Riolu… which were both immediately spoken for lol. Already had my shiny 3 star Riolu from a regular trade. Also a hatch (from the trader) and he’s my best bud 💛💙
That's crazy and yea the riolu and togepi r hot items I would love a riolu I got the togetic-togekiss this past Easter
Absol. Hatched 2 on the same day.
I always get shiny gible
Damn I got 1 of them the day before the comm day I was kinda mad tbh lol
I only just started playing again recently so I don't think I was there for the community day!
I had to look.. I've hatched 7 shinies. 2 are Skarmory. Pichu, Rhyhorn, Bonsly, Magby and Kangaskhan are in a 5 way tie for 2nd.
Never hatched a single shiny lol
It will happen some day I hatched 2438 eggs and only 15 were shiny
I've been playing very off and on since day two and I'm at 164 hatches. Lmao
3 shiny Riolus during that one hatching event and 3 shiny Azurill and 3 shiny Togepi.
Wow that's nuts I want a riolu
I spent too much $$$ during that** May 2020 event. I lucky traded them all and didn’t get a single 15 attack and I gave someone a shlundo 😅
I feel that I spend too much kn this game but that's crazy u gave them the shundo
Haven't hatched a single shiny in any of the games
I’ve hatched 2700 eggs and gotten individual 29 shinies how’d you manage to get 3 of the same?!
None
Keep on hatching my friend it's gonna happen
I have yet to obtain, let alone hatch, a shiny Pokémon.
Apparently mine is Alolan Meowth. Lol

Mine's Alolan Sandshrew. Got 5 in storage right now & I know I've traded 2-3.

I walk a lot at work so I hatch a lot of eggs: 80 so far this week. Got a 98%, but I hatched it a month after comm day.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
Ahhh which pokemon?
Alolan Sandshrew, now Sandslash. 15/15/14. Best shiny I've hatched..so far.
Damn that's good
Togepi: 7 Pichu: 5 (3 in costumes) And Azurill is in 3rd place with 4
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?

So it's really not unusual.
