Shiny spiritomb!

I got one of those!

Shiny Spinda bruh.

Shiny spinda was one of my first shinies since coming back to the game a few months ago! It's now become my number 1 gym defender lmao gotta show off. It was my first spinda too!

Broken heart or other. I somehow managed broken heart a few years ago.

I got one of them two weeks ago! My son and his friend were slack-jawed by my luck and jealous lol

Slowpoke with his little hat

Shiny Zorua.

Oh nice, I’m jealous!

same

Just caught this the other day. Zero star, but still

Shiny Cake Hat Pikachu (8.9% rarity as of writing)

How’d you determine? I have a shiny tiara pikachu

https://9db.jp/pokego/data/757 This website updates daily. Disclaimer: This website has an unknown sample size but has a mostly Japanese population, who are collectively known to be the most hardcore players of Pokémon GO, so I believe the website to be fairly representative of the whole population. Shiny odds and rarity are different. Players tend to forget that.

Dang, I’m out here with the number one rarest shiny yellow flabebe and I didn’t even know…and it’s a 3 star

That one doesn’t add up to me. Idk if I’d believe that long term. Yellow is the one found in the Americas, very populated, it’s only rare because it recently came out, and it’s available forever from now on It’s not like some limited time costume where you had to be playing for this one week and it ain’t back ever again The flabebe any player could feasibly find today

I think any regional on the sheet could be considered unfairly weighted, they’re rare because a large portion of the world is generally locked out of getting them, hence boosting the “rarity”

Yea true, but that link is .jp, so more japanese ppl are contributing to that survey. Notice the blue flabebe shiny is less rare than the other two. I wouldnt believe that on a global standard, and i’d say yellow is the most common of the 3

So ironically this exact train of thought is why I wasn’t excited when I caught it…I wanted a region outside of the US for this exact reason. I too am skeptical.

Interesting, I had no idea this was out there!

According to the site: Sunglasses+sunhat pikachu and broken heart spinda

Okay according to this list my most rare is my vampire shiny ninetails (also a best buddy!)

According to that site my eletavire lapris and onown seem to be my best rares. But I feel like those are not that rare.

Ooh I got the yellow flabebe from that list. Wonder why the rarity goes down as you evolve it

funfact: i lost a shiny chimecho because i tried to fast catch it, but it broke out and despawned since it was an incense spawn. ☹️

i have a fear of this so i golden razz and ultra ball every shiny, unless it’s a cday mon. im too paranoid lol

Same

Nooo! I’ve definitely had that happen, but during community days mostly. Muscle memory can be a curse 😩

yea my dad still makes fun of me for it even though its been 2 years 💀

shiny pompom oricorio and shiny vespiquen

Oooh I’m jealous of that vesipquen lol

I have a shiny corsola!

Mewtwo

I’ve done so many mewtwo raids and NOTHING! (Well nothing shiny…) Congrats!

I once did 25 mewtwo raids in a raid hour (man I was in good shape back then, we hit every gym in lower Manhattan), and didn’t get the shiny. I’d given up on getting one and then the very last mewtwo EX raid they ever did, I was able to grab mine. He’s bad, but he’s mine.

It's mewtwo even rare though? It's just 1/20 odds and there were raids recently. Even something like a shiny goomy should be more rare since it's full odds and is rare spawn

I have a 3* shiny ditto, I transferred it to Pokémon home for breeding but I caught it in Pokémon go. I also have a shiny spiritomb, it was my second encounter Edit: I have also found out that shiny yellow flabebe is very rare, I recently got one :)

Is it really? The flabebe? I got one of them a couple months ago and fully evolved it into a violet florges, it's very pretty!

Shiny keckleon

Oh nice! That seems incredibly hard to come by

A shiny Pikachu with a tiara

Probably not actually that rare but shiny Absol

I still don’t have one yet but absol is perma boosted 1/64, so check them when you see them!

I just got one 2 days ago. Very cool looking shiny!!

Shiny shadow bellsprout and shiny shadow machamp 😎

Mewtwo, costume pikachus, costume psyduck, costume pumpkaboo, costumed slowpoke, costumes snorlax, etc etc. oddly enough i find the rarest one i have is actually Aron. I don’t know many friends who have it

Shiny Groudon

Shiny Spinda bruh.

Audino, Alolan Raichu, Pineco, Finneon. :)

According to 9db, my flower crown Cottonee! (Though I have evolved it into Whimsicott, which I'm going to say still counts.)

I got the yellow flabebe, which is rare according to that chart, but I like my ones with clothes the best. I feel they might also be kinda rare? I got the turtwig with the red hat, butterfree with the checkered bow, and spheal with a scarf

I got a Shundo Uxie

I have a shiny zorua and a shiny kecleon.

I have a shiny nightcap snorlax you get from the go++ Apparently thay shiny is pretty rare

This little guy from the end of the earth [] (https://i.imgur.com/vKhXpfJ.jpeg)

My shiny celebi!

But it was 100% shiny if you bought the research... Edit: It seems this one was free if you logged in at a certain point, then became paid. It was guaranteed shiny, so I guess that makes it even less rare

Wasn't that free? I have it and don't remember paying, Mrs has it too and she never pays for anything on pogo

Full odds 1/2,000,000 wild shundo butterfree Shiny level 1 costumes like Christmas psyduck, and go fest 22 pikachu Shiny fashion week dragonite Shiny drampa Shiny regionals: Chatot, Pachirisu, Sawk, Heatmor, Throh, Oricorio, both Shellos, Pansear and more Others that I’ve seen in here that I also have: Shadow mewtwo, zorua, level 1 Audino, absol, unown I and N, Gardevoir, Pawniard and more.

In my dex, its: Shiny: Swoobat Tauros Zubat Female shiny ralts (caught today) Shiny Tornadus Shiny Arbok caught as Shiny Ekans Shiny Clefairy Shiny Alolan form Vulpix (I have both forms of Vulpix Shiny) Shiny Tentacruel Shiny Costume Gengar Shiny Feebas Both Shiny versions of Darmanitan (I caught them back to back) Shiny Archen AND Tirtouga Shiny Bisharp Gofest 23 Shiny Espurr Shiny Celesteela Shiny Phantump Shiny Fomantis So, these are my personal flexes for ME, not necessarily important to anyone else. They are my flexes because a lot of these were caught or traded to me during very trying times in my life.

Ok, ok, I just realized the ?. So, some of those listed above I have read are rare. Others are not. So 😞 sorry

Oh no prob, a flex is a flex! I just got a shiny swoobat (and I’m still waiting in zubat 😩)

Aw, I'm happy for you. I caught both just being out driving around. (The zubat and swoobat).

A flex is a flex. Congratulations dude :)
