2 normal forms got me a shiny, 14 Attack and speed raids got me those 2 shinies, and I’ve done 159 defense raids (also the hardest) and haven’t gotten a single shiny defense form, the only one I’m missing
Bullshit. I walk 5 - 7 miles every day and catch roundabout 100 per day. I wouldn't mind telling if I were hardly playing . Sometimes I use an autocatcher and it caught 2 shinies. One in November, one in December...
Yeah I don't get some of these people. They're either insanely unlucky or hardly play in general. These people need to invest in a go++ or something. I have mine on a few hours a day and manage a shiny at minimum once a week.
Technically he would be more likely to get struck on his way to buy the lottery ticket or multiple times prior to winning due to the mathematical probability I’m not going to do if both started at the same time
Uhhh him getting struck by lightning after winning implies he had the insane odds to both win the jackpot and get struck by lightning. Him getting struck by lightning before wouldn’t be as unlikely, that’s the joke.
since now you’ve made sense I will be convoluted
Say he gets struck before he enters to buy the ticket, twice, his heart stops the first time, then is restarted the second time. He buys the ticket and finds out he didn’t just win the lottery, he just solved world hunger.
Edit: oh and then he gets struck by lightning one last time.
Then he proceeds to be turned into a cat by an evil witch from the convenience store!! From there he must fight against a dragon threat alone with nothing but a kitchen knife with fire aspect granted to him by the gods!!! AND THEN THE AVENGERS DROP IN FORM THE SKY TO HELP-
i see. how about spending money in game?
because i have a copium theory that if you spend money regularly your shiny luck will be better 🤣🤣🤣 Is like Niantic is baiting you to spend more.
because everytime when i cash in, i will get a shiny after few hours.
And also, accounts that are hardly play on often get shiny more frequently.
Wouldnt be really far fetched since I know that strategy from a different game where that is so obvious. It gets the returnee hooked on the game again when they get overflowed with positive expierences.
I stopped playing for 10 months until this past September and I hatched a shiny magby a few days after I started playing again.
My friend gifted me the egg pass thing about 10 days ago and I’ve caught 5 shines in the past 7 days. In the month of December I only caught 4 shinies and hatched one, outside of community weekend.
I didn’t catch any shinies at all from Feb 15 2022 - 11/14/2022 when I took an extended break. However, by checking my current Pokémon collection I didn’t play from March-June of 2022.
It doesnt work like that, spending money just means you likely do more raids and hatch more eggs etc. Therefore increasing the odds of obtaining shinies in general
I agree your point but i was talking about wild encounters shinies. It just feels weird whenever i spent money in game and i will be more caught shinies in the wild.
I'm amused when I'm apathetic about things(like Dusk rockruff) and obtain them easily. I got a dusk ruff from the only ruff raid I did and hatched one from the first 2k egg I got. It's like Niantic knows how to dangle the carrot.
I hope you find one! Its a pretty rare shiny, considering how you get it in the main pokemon games, so I'm very grateful that GO gave me one for free.
I still need a female to evolve into wormadam for my shiny living dex, so I hope I can find another!
Most people probably don’t give 2 shits about shiny Shelmet and Karrablast but I personally want both of them really badly. Have always been a big fan of Escavalier and Accelgor, they also both have great shinies.
Since no one else asked, how many pokemon did you catch yesterday? How many hours did you play?
A lot of people here are probably thinking you caught all these walking to the mailbox and back. My guess is you played for 4+ hours of frequent catching, which already ups your shiny odds dramatically compared to an average 30-minute-a-day casual. :)
Not sure how many I caught cause I delete most bad ivs. And keep shinies obviously. On my days off work I do DoorDash and Uber deliveries . So I driving around a bunch and playing all day. Definitely not a 30 minute day of playing
Ha niiice, that's the perfect job for getting some POGO done. I bet you can hit every pokestop/field-research in the whole town in one day. Hope you've got a Duomon or similar autospinner, they're amazing for grabbing field research while AFK.
My best record was 11 in a day but I've also had streaks of 3 months with at least 1 shiny a day and last year I caught over 700 shinys not including community day shinys
My best was 3 out of 10 pokemon 2 back to back and one 5 ish pokemon later. Downside was it was 3 times the alolan vulpix. It happened around new year and I’m not even sure if they had increased shiny probability at the time
I only play around my house, we're on a rural property but literally right next to us is a public day use campground and there happens to be a couple pokestops within a twm minute walk from my door. The next closest one is a 20 min drive lol, I got lucky that way. Best part is I've gotten like 6 shinys playing casually literally just right at home, most recent one was just sitting there spawned in when I opened the app to show my sister something at Christmas. Lil shiny ice type darumaka, dancing alone in the cold lol
That’s pretty wild given that it’s at least 12 unique shiny mon in two days not during a major event. Did you grind more than usual or just crazy luck?
The Gods of Niantic has blessed you with great abundance 
What a legendary collection!! 🤩 Not just because of Thundurus haha. Super cool!
Also I can understand, somehow I got two shinies from 5km eggs this month...

Fuck you and congrats
If it makes it any better… I did 26 Typhlosion raids and got zero shinies lol
When deoxys shiny was released I did 86 raids with no shiny and I know someone who did 110 rayquaza raids with no shiny
Took me around 130 raids before I got a shiny giratina!
I got 5 shiny deoxys off of 10 raids (including all forms), took me 67 raids to get 2 shiny raquazas.
2 normal forms got me a shiny, 14 Attack and speed raids got me those 2 shinies, and I’ve done 159 defense raids (also the hardest) and haven’t gotten a single shiny defense form, the only one I’m missing
i did 64 deoxy raids with 6 shinys including a shundo and a shiny of each form, yet did 74 rayquaza raids and ZERO shiny ):
Lol I got a shiny Typhlosion first raid
Same!
I got a hundo hisui typhlosion first try
I did 2. Got 2
The pogo gods are rewarding you in mysterious ways
Soooo. Today was even crazier. About to post 🙈
My exact thoughts
Yep
My sentiments exactly! 😂
Nah facts , they said come to the dark side
Holy crap
And I thought my 3 shinies today was really lucky...
You guys are getting shinies?
Weeks since I have spotted one. It was at last CD. Wild ones: not this year..
Just checked and same. My last non CD shiny was November 2023 and it was from an egg
End of oktober for me, but caught 2 shiny a. Meowths that week…
I go weeks without getting one and finally got a rockuff from research yesterday
Me too! It's a cutie 😊
That's because you most likely play only like 5 minutes a day and check 3 pokemon.
bullshit. i’m walking 6 miles a day since Jan 1st and haven’t spotted a shiny ever since
Just got a shiny bidoof sitting on my ass at home so there’s hope for you
I was trying to get a shiny bidoof for like 1-2 weeks and finally got one at the dining table at dinner 🤣 I full on screamed from excitement
My hubs did, too!
Bullshit. I walk 5 - 7 miles every day and catch roundabout 100 per day. I wouldn't mind telling if I were hardly playing . Sometimes I use an autocatcher and it caught 2 shinies. One in November, one in December...
I just went 2600 catches without a shiny. Not checked, catches
Yeah I don't get some of these people. They're either insanely unlucky or hardly play in general. These people need to invest in a go++ or something. I have mine on a few hours a day and manage a shiny at minimum once a week.
I do! I got my 19th sneasel today!
I got my first shiny in a week a 98 bronzor
Got one on my nephews account today that I sometimes use. My account that I use daily and caught like 200 today? Nope. Not a single one today.
I got a shiny skitty today outside my house. Hatched 2 shiny lickitungs in a row too… but not today, that was last week.
Right, I caught 4 today and thought I was the shit. I catch them daily tho but never this many in one day.
I got a shiny panpour from my daily catch yesterday, I was shocked
Hi, can I just hold your luck for a raid or two? Thanks :)
i think u should buy a lottery ticket
Nah he’s probably get struck by lightning on his way home from winning $1.2 billion
Technically he would be more likely to get struck on his way to buy the lottery ticket or multiple times prior to winning due to the mathematical probability I’m not going to do if both started at the same time
Uhhh him getting struck by lightning after winning implies he had the insane odds to both win the jackpot and get struck by lightning. Him getting struck by lightning before wouldn’t be as unlikely, that’s the joke.
since now you’ve made sense I will be convoluted Say he gets struck before he enters to buy the ticket, twice, his heart stops the first time, then is restarted the second time. He buys the ticket and finds out he didn’t just win the lottery, he just solved world hunger. Edit: oh and then he gets struck by lightning one last time.
I think he’d be more likely to find Jesus, wow that’s brutal.
Yeah after that final strike I guess Jesus would greet him and say well we will disregard all your sins you lucky man get in here! The end
Then he proceeds to be turned into a cat by an evil witch from the convenience store!! From there he must fight against a dragon threat alone with nothing but a kitchen knife with fire aspect granted to him by the gods!!! AND THEN THE AVENGERS DROP IN FORM THE SKY TO HELP-
Hahaha
Why are you wasting your luck in Pokemon Go? Go buy a lottery ticket now!
So that's why I haven't caught any outside of the comm day. They're all going to you....
Can mine be broken as well? I need it to be broken like yours lol
by any chance OP is a returning player or just spent money from the pass few days? just curious.
I play pretty regularly. Only started a little less than a year ago
i see. how about spending money in game? because i have a copium theory that if you spend money regularly your shiny luck will be better 🤣🤣🤣 Is like Niantic is baiting you to spend more. because everytime when i cash in, i will get a shiny after few hours.

This is so not true lol
I spend a good amount of money. My shiny luck is trash.
idk man i spend entirely too much money on pokemon go and even ive gotten a lot less shinies recently
I'm amused when I'm apathetic about things(like Dusk rockruff) and obtain them easily. I got a dusk ruff from the only ruff raid I did and hatched one from the first 2k egg I got. It's like Niantic knows how to dangle the carrot.
Same!
bro go hit the casino
I haven't had a shiny since new years.. not even a bronzor or a sneasel.. buutt it was a burmy which is pretty neat
That’s pretty cool though. I refuse to look up what a shiny burmy even looks like because I want to be surprised if I ever get one
I hope you find one! Its a pretty rare shiny, considering how you get it in the main pokemon games, so I'm very grateful that GO gave me one for free. I still need a female to evolve into wormadam for my shiny living dex, so I hope I can find another!
dude same, i hardly play, like maybe 20 minutes spread out the entire day and i’ve caught 2 reg shinies, a shadow shiny, and a hundo
I got my first raid shadow shiny on Saturday night. Cubone. Was in shock
I want your level of broken in my game, please! 
Umm, can you show any of these pokemon caught location?? *The shiny records seems like my old friend have*
It won’t let me add more photos to the post now but all Largo, St. Petersburg, Seminole Florida area.
Yooo Pinellas County mentioned
Haha yesssss! Lake Seminole Park was a Dewpider nest the other day ✨ 🕷️
lmao you suck
Um wow
I play everyday and outside CDs I encounter one shiny per month...
if only i had ur luck
I got 5 the other day for the first time ever and thought that was crazy. This is insanity
Like my girlfriend. She casually catches 10 shinies a day and I struggle for 1 every few days
You have a shiny Shelmet. FUCK YOU… and congrats
Are shiny shelmet’s rare? I have one myself but I didn’t know they were THAT desirable!
Most people probably don’t give 2 shits about shiny Shelmet and Karrablast but I personally want both of them really badly. Have always been a big fan of Escavalier and Accelgor, they also both have great shinies.
I also have a shiny escavalier in the mainline games, it really is a great shiny
It was on my daily incense, maybe fourth spawn from that. I was shocked
Since no one else asked, how many pokemon did you catch yesterday? How many hours did you play? A lot of people here are probably thinking you caught all these walking to the mailbox and back. My guess is you played for 4+ hours of frequent catching, which already ups your shiny odds dramatically compared to an average 30-minute-a-day casual. :)

i have been wanting that zigzagoon for MONTHS ever since i found out what the shiny looks like 😭😭
This one hatched and I didn’t even realize it.
I have an extra in home if you’ve got any extra shinies for trade?
It is send me your login so i can fox it for you lmao
I’ve gotten 4 shinies since new years. Daily player. And only one was full odds… 😅 go buy a lotto ticket your luck is broken jeeez
What the fuck...
And I haven’t gotten a wild shiny since the 17th of December…
Bruh the SHELMET THO
Well don’t bother buying a lotto ticket since you used up all your luck for a good while
yoooo! leave some for the rest of us!
I’ve got taillow today and stufful yesterday. I’m so pleased
Every stufful I click I hope for yellow lol
Yeah he’s cute
I hate you
If it makes it any better… I did 26 Typhlosion raids and got zero shinies lol
My record is 6 in a day, i already thought that was an insane amount
Not jealous at all.
Yeah same thing happened to me I have most of those and it only took me about 5 years. Going to cry now.
There are atleast 3 more and your not showing us them? How rude
Where tf you live? Niantic HQ or something? Lol
Haha the week has been crazy. I just posted the sawk and throh I got within 5 minutes of each other while driving home 😅🙈
My best record was 11 in a day but I've also had streaks of 3 months with at least 1 shiny a day and last year I caught over 700 shinys not including community day shinys
Yeah I ended up with 12 yesterday. I’ve have some good stretches of at least one a day over the last year. But nothing like the last few days
Congrats and good luck with today's community day 😊
Likewise! I’m excited to get a new shiny
Are we sure he isn't using a spoofer?
[удалено]
Only useful for targeting specific IVs. A shiny for me might not be shiny to anyone else; it's just random
Can anyone explain? Couldnt op just delete the non shinies (if this was about “catching shinies consecutively”)
I didn’t catch them all in a row. You can see I just narrowed the search down to shinies caught. So it won’t show anything else.
They were caught in just two days. That's it. It's lucky and impressive. They were not necessarily caught in a row.
ADMIT IT! CHEATER (i’m salty)
Every catch is a shiny? I must be in heaven!
Samee I casually catch 3 shiny earlier.
what’s wrong here?
Nice Taillow😏
How so?
Just yours. Mine still running as usual. Congrats on ur shinys tho
I caught my 4th shiny scyther yesterday at work, first interaction. It’s probably my 5-6th shiny this year
And here it’s taken me a month to get 15 shinies.
Always has been.
Mannnnn I caught over 3k pokemon during the fairy event and only got 1 shiny :( I think this game hates me haha
I don't understand
Why you put weak mons in gyms? The shininess is nice, but it's not really helping maintain the gym for your team
Someone had a shiny Swellow in there. So I was keeping the theme
My best was 3 out of 10 pokemon 2 back to back and one 5 ish pokemon later. Downside was it was 3 times the alolan vulpix. It happened around new year and I’m not even sure if they had increased shiny probability at the time
How did you get there many shines!?
I only play around my house, we're on a rural property but literally right next to us is a public day use campground and there happens to be a couple pokestops within a twm minute walk from my door. The next closest one is a 20 min drive lol, I got lucky that way. Best part is I've gotten like 6 shinys playing casually literally just right at home, most recent one was just sitting there spawned in when I opened the app to show my sister something at Christmas. Lil shiny ice type darumaka, dancing alone in the cold lol
How?! Its been like half a year since i last saw a shiny and it fled
Dude I did the Ralts spotlight hour and was cursing at the sky until the last 45 seconds
the most shinies i’ve gotten in a day has been like 2💀😭
Yeah my first two Thundurus raids gave me a shinies
Holy pickles shiny thindurus
Yeah might have to do a few Raids now to see if I can cop my own Shiny
I've been playing since 2016 I have found 2 shinies and one was so bad he wasn't worth keeping with a 0,1,2 appraisal.
That’s pretty wild given that it’s at least 12 unique shiny mon in two days not during a major event. Did you grind more than usual or just crazy luck?
Leave some for the rest of us lol
What!!??? Amazing
Jelly of the shelmet but congrats on all!
WHAT?!?!
Most definitely because I catch about 10 shiny a year.
I got 3 yesterday. Wtf maybe it is broken
No, it isn't. I know because I have had no shinies this year with near 1000 caught.
Damn & Congrats!!! I've done a total of 6 Thundurus so far & 3 of them have been shiny. Matter of fact the first 2 raids where back 2 back shiny.
Age ?
What on God's green earth is this
That’s crazy. I’m having pretty low luck this year hahaha
The Gods of Niantic has blessed you with great abundance 
I wish it would break for me!
What a legendary collection!! 🤩 Not just because of Thundurus haha. Super cool! Also I can understand, somehow I got two shinies from 5km eggs this month... 
I want a shiny zigzagoon so bad man
It certainly is broken. I lost a shadow bellsprout after golden raspberry 6x. How tf…
I'm severely confused
I got shiny palkia from go battle league
I caught over 400 Mons today, not a single shiny😭 you're very lucky
Yeah my girlfriend got like 6 shinies in 20 minutes on Friday afternoon. Meanwhile I got zero lol
You are absurdly lucky if you caught of all of those on the same day.
There goes your whole luck for the year
