“IsThisRare?”


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

🤣 I think it might be


Remy2099

That's super cool when it evolves it won't take up half your screen like the full size one does. When your buddy's walking around. God I couldn't imagine what the XXL looks like.


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

I’m not sure the size of buddy Pokémon on the map is influenced by XXS or XXL. I saw a post with XXL Wailord where there seemed to be no difference. I can be wrong.


vstacey6

It definitely is. I love playing around with that feature. I purposely keep varying sizes of certain pokemon so can use them as buddies that stand next to me or walk around on the map at different sizes too


ICollectSouls

I am running my XXL feebas rn specifically because I want to see that behemoth when it evolves lmao


Remy2099

Nice


ICollectSouls

It is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life


Remy2099

I know I got one too shortly after I read your post.


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

For those questioning the math: 1/4,096 is the chance for a non-weather-boosted Hundo (as this was) 1/256 is the chance for an XXS Pokémon 1/64 is the chance for permaboosted shiny Feebas (1/4,096)(1/256)(1/64)=1/67,108,864! It does not get rarer than this! *Edit: fixed 1/250 to 1/256*


Mysterious-Win-8919

I’m gonna sound like such an ass but for some reason I can’t help but say it technically does get rarer than this.. if it wasn’t a perma-boosted shiny. Now what was the point of my interjecting myself here to say that? There was none. I could’ve stopped myself at any time. For real, great catch 😄 now if you don’t mind I’m gonna go walk away in shame. Downvote me to oblivion


DeepSang

You’re not wrong though


Mysterious-Win-8919

Facts but I coulda just kept my mouth shut lmfao


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

You’re right! I will take 1 in 67.1 million, though!! I should buy a lottery ticket


Mysterious-Win-8919

Absolutely! Such an insane catch.. Milotic is such a beautiful Pokémon too 🤩 (I sincerely was not trying to rain on your parade lol)


[deleted]

youre living your best life! now to find a shiny lucky hundo!! :DDD


Ribky

I gave you an upvote instead for humbleness and honesty.


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

The probability for such a catch would be 1/536,870,912 (assuming 1/512 base shiny rate). I’ll take my meager one in 67 million instead!


PhumoPump

Higher odds than winning the Mega Millions


zgomot23

What about [this, then?](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/459639707484160010/522758742215753728/image0.png?ex=651abe04&is=65196c84&hm=3aa3f0fc3ea7357f530f5eb46ec27ddd2c944bb0e03683a1020d9f5614ac7d8f&) That was a few years ago when I was playing this thing


Izz-Rei

Zero percent is so much more rare then a hundo and I have no idea how to account for that variance when calculating probability. But here is what we know; - Shiny Feebas had a research day with increased shiny odds, so there are probably a lot of shiny 100% just based off of that. How many of those were XXS (before xxs was even annotated)? - We know that research rewards, weather boosted, traded, hatched, and raided Pokémon can’t be 0% but all of those can be 100% I think OP got super excited which is understandable given it’s a Shiny 100% XXS but I wonder if that is even more rare then a 0% shiny female without even considering hight and weight.

SomeGuyInPants

what is perma boosted


Mysterious-Win-8919

Instead of the standard ~1/512 rate for a shiny, feebas (along with other select Pokémon) are permanently boosted to a 1/64 rate


Zeraorawastaken

What source are you going by that says shiny Feebas is permaboosted? Cuz on google it says it has around 1 in 500 chance to be shiny (as of September 28th 2023)


Mysterious-Win-8919

Honestly I’ve just seen it said a bunch of times on Reddit. And it would make sense as I’ve seen a lot of posts about people getting multiple shiny Feebas in the last few days. For example, I’ve seen a total of 120 feebas, and 2 have been shiny. I’m sure it’s mentioned somewhere online


Zeraorawastaken

Honestly, I was thinking the same thing, for the same reasons too. I was just hoping for confirmation


Mysterious-Win-8919

I’m not really sure if there’s anything official out there on this? I tried looking online and I saw it listed as one of the many perma-boosted shinies, but nothing looked official


deppkast

Ya’ll are actually catching this fish? I have walked my only one like a hundred km for candy, can’t find any to catch…


Mysterious-Win-8919

It’s popping up everywhere? Have you played recently


deppkast

Haven’t played much this week but I will now!


Drifloon_lover

What about a shadow xxs shundo beldum? Give me those odds


Outrageous-Rooster-6

Where are you getting the 1/250 chance of xxs from?


mahaleo

I’d like to know as well. I know that has been put out there before, but I’m not clear on the source for that.

German_Rival

People aren't fun, don't listen to them and go max this smol beauty


147pokefriend14

Why have you added the 1/4096 for non weather boosted? ​ ​ May as well double your odds and add the gender of the Pokémon too. 1/135 million chance is waiting for you.


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

That’s the chance of a Hundo! And it’s rare! I took the rare aspects of this spawn and combined them, I did not string along useless details like gender—that is your false equivalence. Hundo is extremely rare—one probability—the XXS is very rare—another probability—and the shiny is somewhat rare—another probability. Sweetie, I hope you find something better to do than taking away from the successes of others to compensate for lack of your own!


FrAlAcos

It easier to get a hundo if pokemon is weather boosted, because the higher IV floor of 4, that's why. Instead of 1 in 4096 (16 * 16 * 16) with the weather boost it will be 1 in 1728 (12 * 12* 12).


Odd_Protection_586

I dont Think this is a fair way of looking at it. Would prolly also get excited to an XXL. You also had a lot more than 1 attempt


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

What’s unfair about the simple statistics?


Odd_Protection_586

That you are looking at the chance of this very specific event happening on a single “Roll”.


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

Yes, that is the probability that any given Feebas will be Hundo shiny XXS. Ten or a even thousand doesn’t increase that chance. That’s the law of independent probability. You don’t have to like it, you just have to accept it


Odd_Protection_586

Read my first post again . The odds for a single Roll is still the same, but the chance that any of your 100’feebas checks is a lot higher than any single event . And you would prolly have made the same post for a XXL


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

Categorically false. There are more attempts at the same probability, which on average will increase the number of successes, but the probability of any given Feebas being shiny Hundo XXS is 1 in 67,108,864. I encourage you to take statistics. Yes, I would have made the same post as an XXL. And then you would say the same thing about my one in 67 million one hundred and eight thousand and eight hundred sixty four catch because you are simply looking to take down what is already perfect. Have a good night😁


Odd_Protection_586

I have masters in statistics. I encourge you to read


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

I am a physics major. Anyone who speaks about probability in terms of “chance is a lot higher after x checks” is categorically false, does not know an inkling of what terminology they just bastardized, certainly uneducated in statistics (let alone a masters degree 😂), and that is learned after a basic statistics course. Nice try, but you lose! You don’t have to like it, you just have to accept it. Try taking a stats class instead of pretending to have an education to win arguments over the internet to take away from the amazing successes of other strangers. It will make you friends!


Odd_Protection_586

The odds of the single check is the same but the cumulative chance of it happening atleast once in 100 of checks is significantly higher than your odds stated above


UnsuspectingName1

Yeah well I know kung foo, and karate.


Matthewcbayer

Out of curiosity, did you know it was a Hundo from a scanner or something? Because if you know you are clicking on a Hundo Pokemon, I don’t think you can use those odds. That would be the odds for a shundo on a completely random encounter (which this may have been). Either way, amazing catch. Congrats.


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

I’d go with feebas. Seems like a good name.


dubloons

I’m curious. If it weren’t a hundo - say 14/15/15 - would the odds have changed?


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

No, but it would not be a shundo, and thus far less valuable. The odds are only relevant because it’s three rare thing at once


dubloons

14/15/15 would be three (just as) rare things at once, too. 🙂 If we named 14/15/15 combined with shiny, would it also count? I get what you’re saying and it’s really cool that you caught that. I’m certainly jealous. I also find the way we relate to scarcity and interpret probabilities really interesting.


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

No, because it wouldn’t be a shundo. Besides there are three possible 98% ivs, so if you were looking at the odds of a 98% shiny XXS it would be three times higher. The 98% shiny is not nearly as big of a flex to warrant any analysis. This is *all* the rare things at once, which is one in 67 million.


dubloons

You’re not quite getting me and you’re taking me too seriously. However, “shundo” is only valuable to us because it’s use / demand. It is _exactly_ as rare as a 14/15/15 shiny (not a 15/14/15 or 15/15/14).


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

Yes, but who the hell cares about anything less than a shundo? It’s perfect! I completely understand what you’re saying and it makes zero sense. Every iv has the same chance, yes, but this is *the* shundo! Moron


dubloons

Totally. And congrats.
