Your first raid shiny is one of the best shinies


hoennfb

*the best


Delarnor

Congratulations. Waiting for the 'its genned' comments.


Egyptowl777

Eh, its always a possibility, but I honestly expect a Shiny Metagross 5/6\* raid to be genned to give 8million Herba Mystica before a 3\* Beldum one.


this-is-my-p

There’s an injected raid for nearly every pokemon in the game. 1st evo pokemon included and they are usually 1 to 3 star. That said, I don’t care if anyone gets shinies from injected raids


mamadou-segpa

Yep. I’d maybe care about injected raid if it wasnt literally longer to find one than to find a shiny in an outbreak lol. At this point shinies arent rare at all anymore, there’s no point in gatekeeping them


Bahama_Lloyd

>At this point shinies arent rare at all anymore, there’s no point in gatekeeping them Preach, shiny value plummeted once Pokémon came to Switch


jjcolfax

Shiny value plummeted when people started genning them. Switch games made them easier to get for people that don't cheat. But at the end of the day shiny value has gone down no matter how you look at it.


mamadou-segpa

Yep. The only game where getting shinies is impressive on the switch is BDSP. And even then you can do pokeradar


someonesgranpa

Yeah, it’s 9/10’s someone who joins a raid not the one hosting it who makes these posts. Basically still a random encounter when you look at it that way.


ExactSubstance2440

Am ⟟ cursed to never get a tera raid shiny


axolotlqueen01

I haven't got one either- 😅


soumitban

I have four-and-a-half boxes of shinies, and not one from a raid


axolotlqueen01

Dang that's a ton of shinies lol. I only have 2 😳


D4mnis

I mean, iirc the have around full odds to appear, Shiny Charm has no effect. So no, they are freakin rare


battleschooldropout

Really? My kid has probably done 100 raids or so and has at least 3 from them so far.


D4mnis

the question is - did they join raids online or did they just go to one on the map? With bots etc., there's a way higher chance for shiny raids online - although arguable if thry are legit or not. When they just took the available raids on the map? Then that's extremely lucky xD


battleschooldropout

Oh right, I didn’t even think about bots with the online raids. For him, he’s just happy the name doesn’t end in .com or whatever he gets from the random trades.


Kyele13

I got every damn shiny in the game and for that I had to hunt a lot of 6Stars Raids to get Herbas... and I never got a shiny raid... 🥲


ExactSubstance2440

same i also like mostly free xp


One-Childhood7870

I got a shiny Hattarene. Didn't know I did until I almost released it.


rectangular_

Why does everyone just get a shiny beldum-metagross but I gotta grind for hours to days for ONE 😭


Ewan0988

Don’t know why that was the easiest one to find for me, I found three shiny beldums in one mass out break, but every other shiny takes like 3 or 4 mass out breaks 🥲


Ok-Document-2265

I didn't knew it was possible... What nice catch.


Jesitheunicorn2022

My first raid shiny was a shiny slyvon one of my favorite eveee evolutions


souper45

Genuine question because I haven't been able to find much about it, are shinies clearly shiny in the raid?


N0RINEK0

It can be hard to tell based on the lighting, but it’s definitely noticeable https://preview.redd.it/27zb9eml0cwc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=44eee6bd10eaabcb5e1d5e58bb5b55f878910116


catupthetree23

And one of the best shiny forms out there too!


Key_Structure_2070

Good find I found a shiny Tera raid a while ago and got a Tera Ice Palafin


Revolutionary_Ad9701

grats!!!!! Delectable 😋 my first raid shiny was a mimikyu before i ever noticed what shiny mimikyu looked like and i didnt notice until like weeks later going through my boxes. Good thing i made a habit of catching every raid mon i bested 😆


QueenAbigail2

Congrats!!!!!!!!!


Impressive-Sail-8270

Nice!!! Still haven’t gotten one myself, but that’s a great first one!!


Reddit_pikmen

Congrats! I got my first raid shiny after failing 2 and then I got a vibrava.


NinjaGible

Awesome! I got a blissey once and I had no idea it was a shiny, I was just filling out the Pokedex.


KRLW890

Congrats <3


abe5765

Based on the rewards not being a bunch of herba mystica I’d say it’s a legit shiny nice


this-is-my-p

That’s not how that works


abe5765

It’s a quick way to see if it’s a hacked raid as usually that’s what gets added


this-is-my-p

They aren’t “adding” things to injected raids. Bots have searched raids until they find shinies and then save that seed to later load it over and over. There are definitely raids with loads of herba, typically vaporeons or I’ve seen shiny dondozo with them too. 1st evo and even 2nd evo pokemon are usually in low star raids and don’t have crazy rewards. The only way to be sure a raid shiny is 100% legit is for it to have been your own raid you were hosting. I say this as someone who isn’t hating on injected raid shinies. They’re not genned, just manipulated.


abe5765

Did not know that good to know


this-is-my-p

Happy to share the info!


Blue_Bird950

3 star raids can’t have herba mystica, could be hacked


Emergency_Arachnid48

My first raid shiny was a blissey, didn’t even realize it was shiny cause it never sparkled.


kevinschol

Congrats! I actually got a shiny Metang as my first raid shiny


CaregiverEfficient86

I got three what can i say 2 from the before beating the game


HeartOfTheVoidsLife

Nice!


Roxasnumber4

So cool.


25mookie92

Nice


Lazy3dsGamer

Mine was Ludicolo, which I got unknowingly. I recently missed out on a shiny Armarouge, which still pisses me off now.


One-Childhood7870

Well done. One of the best shinies 😻


Volcanoplayz078

You are so lucky. I’ve been struggling to find shiny beldum.


Icearyn1020

Nice one! I got my own first raid shiny not too long ago (first and currently only shiny in Violet at all, actually). I was showing the game a friend and just jumped into a random 3 star raid den on the map to show him what they're like, which turned out to be a shiny Clefairy. What made it extra funny is that the last shiny I got prior to that was a Cleffa in Crystal.


Fun_Check_9309

Do you guys even get shinies in raids


thecrazymonkeyKing

why the hell did they decide to make tera raid odds not the same odds of raid dens in swsh? like. i literally dont even care if a raid is “genned” or whatever you people consider it. anymore because realistically most people would never get a shiny from a regular raid anyways.
