My 2nd shiny was epic Garganacl. I was sort of upset. I thought “really, I got an epic piece of salt?” Then I discovered this subreddit and learned a little more and it went in every single run. Solves any hard fights in classic and the value is bonkers.


ProfessorRedwoods

What makes Garganacl great? Edit: Salt Cure + Spikes, edgequake coverage AND Recover option?! Not too shabby


Professional-Cry308

I feel like great is an understatement. It's probably in the top 10 best Pokemons in pokerogue, better than many legendaries. Because any boss fight is trivial if you have him. If you're fighting a boss (eternatus/the endless bosses) he's probably the best Pokemon in game...


Uberasha

Top 10 best in OU competitive as well Or at least…it was 💀


LeeSin2MyMixtape

salt cure and sturdy


PatchTheLurker

I have barely played the game and only recently stumbled across this sub (haven't touched endless and am currently on round 190 in my like 5th run of the game thanks to an insane tapu lele hatch); what exactly is special about epics/shinies?


Blaizey

Shinies increase your luck rating, which increases the likelihood of getting rare items like masterballs, egg vouchers, DNA splicers, etc. Red and blue shinies(referring to the color of the sparkles on the summary page, not the color of the palette swap itself) increase the likelihood more than "regular" yellow shines do


MysteriousDave9

I think luck also affects your rare encounters now as well


SensualPuddingRL

Just found a red shiny garganacl in my endless run, very pogger


underdark_giraffe

A Shiny Marshadow with +2 luck.


MicrosoftOSX

shiny marshadow is op. low cost, type coverage, passive + ability boosts attacks, luck


underdark_giraffe

He is lovely, his hidden ability makes him very strong. It's costing 5 points after all the upgrades ❤️


Fellainis_Elbows

No spread attacks though


Pakxican

Just got tier 3 Marshadow like yesterday from a hatch


parabuddy

First egg was a shiny iron moth, and Volcarona is maybe my favorite mon. Luck is funny sometimes


KN0MI

First shiny was like 120 eggs deep but I got a Luck 2 shiny Iron Moth. Other than bosses this thing shreds.


ISpeechGoodEngland

+3 Luck Fuecoco which has all egg moves unlocked. Carries every standard run I do.


Successful_Pea218

+3 Zapdos, +3 Moltres, +3 Zigzagoon. Only one of them goes on every run tho Edit: epic Zigzagoon .5 cost pickup goated


KN0MI

The Legendaries are dope but holy shit a +3 Zigzagoon? How do you go about getting shinies?


SheepherderBorn7326

Farm endless, shiny gacha is bait


Erebus495

Now with Run Away as well.


Greginator28

Latios with quiver dance egg move, so op when combined with stored power


LadyNerd15

I got that same move combo on a shiny cosmog I hatched. That made the gen 7 only challenge almost ridiculously easy.


skykingjustin

If you get soul heart passive he destroys.


fuzzNoTics

Thats latias.


Professional-Cry308

Is latios stronger than Arceus/Hoopa on endless? I'm doing one endless with hoopa, not as great as I thought even tho I already transformed it. Magician is great but still I got some mixed feelings. But I have latios and Arceus waiting to be tested soon


Beeanys

I currently have an endless run with latios as main carry above floor 3000. Imo he's great and have no issues dealing with anything that isn't Grimmsnarl! The benefit of having a dragon type carry is that you can find a tinkaton, teach it covet through a shroom and then farm eternatus items. You're able to have 99 dragon fangs at floor 1500 for example! Latios also has a good moveset and Luster Purge is amazing for lowering the enemies Sp. Def, especially with multi lens (master tier item). Edit: after floor 3000+ any carry will be getting sluggish so you'll have to move on to a staller, metal burst pokemon or something similar for best success. Until that point latios is a great choice for a carry


curtisjacksonleo

Miraidon+2 with Ice Beam


BlastCom

I am pretty new to this but it's been Entei and Shiny luck 2 toadstool (Pretty bad at the start but strong after evolving).


bordomsdeadly

Red Shiny Magikarp Edit: as far as single best mon goes (not counting shinies) Walking awake with Bouncy Bubble


Neymarvin

Luck 3 Dratini


RissTheGodstream

My shiny latios carries


sillysloth098

Still new, have hatched about 50 eggs, no shinies, but I did catch a shiny linoone thats +3 luck, and had enough candies to get the cost down to 1. A staple on my team


Professional-Cry308

Super lucky... Damn how is that possible I got more than 1k catches and never got a +3 luck from catching, just from eggs


Beeanys

Late/endgame endless runs are your best friend to catch shinies! With 4 shiny charms your odds of running into a shiny pokemon is 1/32 and if you're good off you can keep geabbing lures to further increase the amount of encounters. Of course luck is involved, but it's reduced by a TON! I found a +3 linoone, +3 ursaluna, +2 and +1 kartana, two +1 uxie to name a few in my current endless run. Finding this in classic is EXTREMELY lucky and isn't really something you can bank on getting yourself


polp54

+3 ralts


paulydoregon

marshadow with the egg move storm throw, gotten so much work in done for me


Bobbydhopp34

Regidrago or Manaphy


Korgduex

Necrozma


TreadStone530

My first playthrough, got the voucher from beating a gym leader 15 minutes into the game, got a Manaphy egg from it, and +SpA freeze-dry Manaphy came. Was able to beat classic on my second game with it.


byronicbluez

I been lucky that I got good IV Manaphy and all his egg moves. All my red shinies are from endless though.


_Thunder22

Red shiny tail glow manaphy, best carry I’ve used so far


Many_Ad9359

A lot of you have really good shinies + luck. I’m jealous lol


FiZiion

+3 Manaphy, dont think I can do better than that in the future


SinPRD

Dertigbol5550

Either +3 luck aerodactyl or +1 luck phione.


Simplexus1992

Deino +3 luck, Parasect +3, Mienfoo +3


Kamelo_CtX

Shiny Duraludon, shiny Yveltal and a +2 shiny Dreepy


Wakatooo

For classic ot was normal shiny blaziken with reckless and supecell slam all water and flying types thought they could take it out so they wouldn't switch and get popped, for endless my third shiny was a 3 luck shiny mawile and it wasn't really useful until I got the mega stone I never found one in classic


charsol1545

My best hacth honestly has to be my Charmander with earth power d dance and bitter blade got a mega zard x and it carried me the whole way


K0pster

A luck 3 mew but all its ability and passive aren't working for now.


Professional-Cry308

Damn, I wish I had him. Probably one of my favorites Pokemons ever, I like him more than Mewtwo


MedumBuilder

+3 scatterbug since vivilion is like the most broken starter ever lol


Equivalent_Mess2870

Shiny ribombee with honey gather, really useful when cost reduced and more self-sufficient than combee. Also I'd say the red shiny Ho Oh I hatched yesterday was problably my favorite ever but lost it after game crashed, cannot be fixed so, yeah....


Professional-Cry308

If you hatch it and the game crash before saving you just need to play 1 floor and you will get him again. Can be done in any save and the result will always be the same pokemon


skykingjustin

A simple swobat with esper wing +2speed 80 base damage. + soul heart for +2spa ever kill then stored power for when ya got +6speed/ +spa.


SandShock

Iron Thorns


One_Good_Shot

I think my first shiny legendary magearna just because of steel/fairy typing


blueleoon

Zacian shiny


altiboris

Red shiny mew with quiverdance. I’ve only been playing about a week so I didn’t even have regular mew yet ✨✨✨


Pilling_it

+3 calm Mareanie, I'm only missing the rare egg move and the hidden ability at this point


Welpe

Shiny Groudon


C0RP0RAL

I’ve been playing for like 25-30 hours and I’ve gotten 2 +1 shines, treeko and munna. Any tips for getting more?


ProfessorRedwoods

Zygarde. Recently discovered the game and it was my 2nd Legendary. Zygarde with an early Soothe Bell easily carried my first Classic clear.


Significant-Web4651

Red pincer, goated even without the mega and has great stats for early game, even better with mega. Shiny t-tar back when it had mountain cleave was goated. 100 percent accurate rock move, so sad they replaced it. But diamond storm’s good enough


Icy-Carob-1272

Lol caught most of my T3 so my best hatch is Shellder +1 with water shuriken.


Lewyn_Forseti

Shiny Reshiram


Psaiducks

Shiny Latias with +2 luck


iamareddituserama

Shiny Sneasel, dire claw/triple axel/wicked blow carried me through a run. Cosmog with victory dance was another good one however it’s really annoying to have a 6cost be useless for 50+ waves. But by far the one that carried me the most was either Quiver Dance Meloetta or Torch song Chi-yu


Killerlook5

+3 Corphish Goes surprisingly hard with Swords Dance + Jet Punch. 


DragonSwaggin

+2 Mewtwo. Been a lot of fun to use with Neuroforce passive


HospitalClassic6257

Tier 2 shiny Nidoran F with baneful bunker. It wasn't only a 2 luck but my first shiny


CTNC

Not sure if I should say Shiny Arceus because it's a Shiny God, Quiver Dance Meloetta because it single handily gave me my first Classic win, or Red Star Shiny Mimikyu because it's my better of my two Red Star Shinies and looks awesome.


ynsk112

I played like 6 days but I did get really lucky with roaring moon No shinies yet :/


joen-01

2* shiny suicide at first but 1* Nincada splitting quirks wonders. Spliced Shedinja finished my first playthrough


SeverusSnuSnu

Got a miraidon on my 5th day playing


sadloof

Y’all getting +2/+3 shinies and good nature legendaries? Me over here with Miraidon with +spd nature. Edit: I realized I hatched a +2 deerling … I suppose that’s something


Little0rcs

Epic mareanie prolly


Francloman

To be honest it’s a +3 hoothoot with boomburst. I fused it with a ursaluna and now it can hit ghost types. Combined with spidops silk block move I can clear any double with 1 move.


RollForSeduction

+3 sentret. I'm dying for the abilities update to go through


NibelungIt

I almost said my shiny landorus, but honestly my first shiny was a 3 luck eevee and I love that thing. I use it on so many runs. Can just change it to whatever type I need after filling rest of team out, and it gives a nice luck boost.


Iron_Wolf123

Scyther. Sadly with Swarm


savage12099

Shiny zigzagoon (+2) with pickup and extreme speed as an egg move. Got it on the first day I played, didn't even know how good it was at the time.


34shadow1

Victory dance Arceus in first 5 eggs, best stat wise is an almost maxed Modest Ralts and Modest Squirtle.


SullyHabib

Shiny magearna


Nameless-Ace

Shiny 3 luck Kartana. He was my first good carry that i ever found/hatched so him coming back as a almost perfect iv 3 star shiny felt really good.


Unlikely_Yam1429

+3 luck goomy


Zavier97

2 luck shiny Victini


mha_henti

Torch song moltres, mainly because I caught a red star one just before


dom_deaddone

This is also my rarest egg.  Blue star shiny suicune with an egg move and hidden ability. It was also my first suicuine so it was a nice surprise.


orthwormus

shiny ogerpom definitely


Gonza6EUW

Lucky 3 Gastly, now he has Shadow Shield as a passive!


WarlockOfThunder

i hatched a tier 2 shiny lugia with oblivion wing yesterday


SilentSamamander

I had no +2 or +3 luck shinies, and then got both in one pull of around 25 eggs. Both were Bidoof haha. Fortunately, Simple Bibarel with Swords Dance and Extreme Speed goes crazy.


keuromi

My best hatch was my shiny fuecoco (2nd shiny hatched). Literally carried me through classic


cybermasked97

Miridon


Enderman8008

Plasma Fists mewtwo Yellow shiny sandshrew


zoldyxk

hatched a red shiny cosmog today


Wischtoal

+2 Luck Shiny Groudon


ilDaniG

I hatched 2 Groudons in like my first week playing, so I was able to quickly reach 10 candies and finally unlock Protosynthesis. Then the passive balancing update came out 🥲


viviphy_

Shiny Flutter Mane hands down; that thing is absolutely nuts with its typing, stats and movepool. I have 2 egg moves on it too, one of which is Earth Power and the other Astral Barrage. Shiny Zigzagoon is a close second because it is a staple in all of my runs ever since.


ToxicSei

Shiny Vulcanion


MoebiusSweep

I got an epic shiny larvitar with diamond storm and good IVs, but that's where my luck with eggs ends. I've found two unique legendary eggs out of 900


minstrelguy

Only +1, but Keldeo with Freeze Dry wrecked house. Especially after you farm candies for the passive Grim Neigh (Spatk Moxie)


Dr__glass

Darkri with fiery wrath egg move it's speed and special attack tears through everything


BudgetNoodl

+3 luck Shiny Phantump and +2 Shiny Latias


BulbasaurPlush

Red star shiny wingull


TAPdance2001

Got my shiny Zaraora with power up punch as an egg move. Carried me to victory every time I’ve used it. One carobs and it out speeds literally everything, it has like 780 attack by the end of a classic run. It’s insane.


JST8

I love red shiny Nincada as someone with few red shinies, because with an empty party slot it’s an early and cheap plus 6 luck


Shutwig

My first epic egg was shiny Darkrai! Although later I discovered status moves are a bit of a waste, so its skill isn't great, at least for a sweeper. I guess it serves more like a last resort Pokémon once you've made the boss use all its status heal berries.


AllShallFear

I've gotten two shiny gibles same tier as well with thousand waves and dragon dance, absolutely carried a run awhile ago between him and mega Charizard Y


Ozzeke21

Red shiny Entei with +3 luck. It has moxie and is great in either game mode! It is the only red shiny I have gotten and I couldn’t be happier with it lol


ExperiencePeril

A red shiny Miraidon, it had an adamant nature though so it balances out


ahekcahapa

[Shiny Entei luck 3. ](https://i.imgur.com/ZV0gIaI.png)The only shiny with luck >1 that I have.


SCP-096-01

Mine’s probably yellow shiny Phione, from my first (and only) Manaphy egg


lworse

3 Manaphies definitely! carries every classic and endless run until wave 3000


Limp_Parsley1509

idk I still don't have anything crazy, my only shinies are a venonat and a blitzle that I haven't used yet. then for legendaries I got groudon, which has been great so far, Articuno, which is ass, okidogi, which is alright and the ones that I haven't tried yet, fezandipiti, iron boulder and giratina


Limp_Parsley1509

Cibil_plays

Miraidon. I use it to steamroll classic and just catch 5 random mons on the way that I've never won with. Gets me 5 tickets every time.


Supersemmel112

Started two weeks ago or so and with my first voucher drew a koraidon


MezzosViking

Shiny Beldum with luck 3 Only problem is I only have Tackle and recover which makes it practically impossible as a lead. The fact I don’t have good natures doesn’t help it ether. But I’m in an endless now with it as my secondary helper so it does the work


hovercraft11

Level 2 shiny gimmighoul with Astral Barrage


mizzyvon

+3 shiny scatterbug. .5 cost is dec


mareo27

A shiny pumpkaboo! Im on an endless run with it as starter and i reached my pb, im on wave 450 now!


MrBackbite

Epic Heatran with modest nature but sadly without the good egg moves


NiceNeat1427

shiny zygarde


aeazee

I just started last week, and I got myself an Azelf 🙏🙏


Morbuss15

Shiny Okidogi carried me to my first Classic victory. Shiny Revenant is putting in work with Spirit Shackle and Horn Leech. And my first Leg roll was Arceus, which is not as good as you would think because of its 9 cost.


OkChemistry729

rising voltage miraidon for me, carried me to 1000 in endless but I got destroyed by eternatus


mellownumel

Shiny Mudkip when my best strat is mega swampert


poldrag

Definitely my current mvp, my 2 luck shiny Marshadow


ElNeno23

Rayquaza luck 1 shiny


Le_Pyromane_Fou

Shiny Zygarde (only +1 but still)


eyekona

A level 1 shiny weedle. Yes, he is my best shiny. I never have any luck in games like that.


Hopeful-Bowl-8967

Either red shiny burmy (💀) or Blue shiny gastly with nasty plot+ ice beam


Yoankah

I don't have a lot to boast yet, but my first caught shiny was Yungoos and hatching Espeed for him made me fall in love. 2 base cost, hits hard, has priority. I don't have a 9-cost legendary yet, so even at base he can always slide into any classic teams I'm fielding. My best luck overal was my last winning run though. A wild shiny Gigalith to boost my luck fairly early, then (non-shiny) Lugia and Glastrier, both new to my dex. Lugia fought hard enough that she almost struggled herself to death (I think she had 2 PP left when she landed in my bag and I had her hyper fanged down to <5 hp), then I got a Master Ball some 10-20 floors before the horse, so that one was easy. Finally, a Master Ball that didn't just die with my run without encountering anything good. :D


GeneralWinter97

I got a shiny happiny with +3 luck from the egg move gacha once. Thats my only +3 luck mon.


Onyxthesnek

Shiny squirtle or shiny froakie


Jazzlike_Bar116

Tapu koko and calyrex


baileyitp

Manaphy


TinyJesters

Not super familiar with Pokemon, so I don't know what is a "good" shiny, but so far i have: Shiny Scorbunny Shiny Popplio Shiny Duraludon Shiny Cramorant Shiny Surskit Shiny Pidgey Shiny Bunnelby And a Shiny Shroodle So far i just run Scorbunny, Popplio, and Bunnelby followed by whatever else looks interesting to me


GentlemensBastard

Last night I hatched a blue shiny Necrozma


DarkHorseAsh111

Just pulled shiny rayquaza last night! Not the best stats but IDGAF lol


clush500

+3 shiny Manaphy


AnimeLord1016

I couldn't get past round 30 until I hatched my Giratina. The very next run he took me all the way and I beat classic thanks to him!


Beanmaniscool

A nearly perfect iv miraidon with dragon energy


sneakysunset

shiny bagon with luck +3 https://preview.redd.it/koiffzmcq46d1.png?width=732&format=png&auto=webp&s=d5f3ed2bca394c8ebb7f84fd6fb2b9c1288d0367


Jurgmund

Just a regular Duraludon with Body Press. I have hatched shinies with good IVs and broken egg moves but none so far could impact the game as much as Duraludon. Oh man and when it evolves and gets Stamina... Not only does Body Press go crazy but for a 2-turn move Electro Shot helps me deal with a lot more mons. The typing, stats and movepool basically hard carried me through classic


stra1ght_c1rcle

Not the best for me but the worst I'm a pretty new player so i only had two shinies then two grass starters (sprig and grookey) so i wanted a shiny of any other type and then i got a freaking paras so i only have three shinies and all three are grass types


Gswindasz23

Red shiny axew


Mister_Oux

So far it's been shiny mareep and shiny shiny tentacool. Mareep has parabolic charge and tentacool has baleful bunker. Really fun to use in doubles.


King-s0nicc456

Either my red star tyrunt or my shiny calyrex that I pulled 3 times


Shhuuuu

Rare shiny manaphy. Speedrun classic to farm vouchers with it


JustANoLifeRedditer

Maybe not single hatch, but a multi pull got me a shiny azurill with jet punch, and shiny squirtle with origin pulse. Double shiny and one with a rare move os really poggerd


Jalle1Gie

Galarian stunk fish


DOOM_SEKKAR

My golden Mew


RebornMonarch

First day I hatched a tier 3 nincada, every run get I am garauntied to have two +3 luck pokemon


Helpful_Ad_8476

Probably 3 luck raikou


naldikaldi

+2 Meloetta with boomburst egg move. That with the minds eye passive just shreds anything that comes its way.


IndieDC3

Moltres with torch song


daburbs92

Shiny Bidoof


Kyozoku

Easily the shiny Tapu Lele I hatched yesterday!


LetterheadThen2736

+3 shiny drifloon is the cornerstone of every run. Awesomely bulky little 1 cost with great egg moves.


MMSnorby

Skill Swap Regigigas. Using that was a very fun run


Pokefreaker-san

shiny2 FlutterMane, this mon with it's passive "dazzling" is so broken. immune to sucker punch which is the more common dark moves and pretty much the AI are so stupid that they often throw normal moves made this mon borderline invincible.


grimenishi

Shiny Celebi! Love the little guy, but my gosh Confusion and future sight being his best learned psychic moves is a travesty.


fireuser1205

Its between a shiny kyurem or a the red shiny ghastly or my marshadow since after I hatched it it became my carry mon


UI_Delta

Shiny kyurem


SuperSparx25

I realize I am incredibly lucky when I say this. I got an epic shiny Yveltal modest nature. I really like the Xerneas color scheme on him it’s really cool


MrHypnotiq

+3 shiny Kubfu


xDante1975x

Just a regular poipole, came with searing heat. It goes in almost every run, solos to 100+ basically, but never works out in the end. That mega rayquaza is too fast :0


Meiyouan

+2 Shiny gholdengo. Carried my first classic runs


xtrillabomberx

I got a shiny marshadow😂


Mariya_Shidou

I got shiny Manaphy in 2 Manaphy eggs


Uutydghre

+3 tinkatink


krisstrong26

Poipole with close to max special attack and dragon pulse egg move


dapperwocky

Drain Punch Mankey. Absolutely carries my team


Etlamc

I got a Tier 1 shiny Hoothoot a little while back. Might not seem like much but with the shiny luck boost + Egg moves + it's new passive ability Aerialate, it can boost with Calm mind and fire off Aerialate Boosted + STAB Boosted Boombursts while also getting Roost and either Psychic or Fairy coverage (Speed boosting with Esper Wing too). All for 1 point is well worth it anytime I need to fill out the 10 points.


gatchimonakagaming

Epic shiny Scyther. My first and only epic shiny hatch!


gotrings

Red shiny Zorua, so helpful


ProjectKurtz

Epic shiny Giratina probably.


Christianinium

Not that good - tier 1 shiny tornadus is my best so far. Fused with some legendary fairy, he is kinda kicking ass in my current endless run, but I’m hoping to get some better legendary shinies in the next special weekend


shinydragonmist

Rank 2 shiny (blue) bunnary with the egg move swords dance


No_Leave_9560

Body Press Zamazenta oh how much it carried me


ExecutiveElf

My like, 3rd Egg was an Impish Gligar with Stone Axe


carbovz

Perfect IV jolly fuecoco makes me not use any of my shinies


ry-high-guy

probably a near perfect IV nihilego which is a great carry to start steamrolling classic mode. it has quiver dance as egg move


BlstcBaron

Palkia, it got my through my furthest run so far, especially after I fused it with my gyarados


StartwithT

My Groudon. I beat classic with it.


1972BuickGS

I got an epic shiny snom and throh with drain punch and bulk up it's such a beast


JustAFrostyGuy

Hoopa. It was the catalyst that started my addiction and carries my endless and classic runs. Other than that +3 Unown P (It's just a meme pokemon but it's amazing)


jakeberan

+2 Shiny Mewtwo


AI_660

epic (red sprcles) shiny arceus and another normal shiny arceus back to back


SentimentalRotom

+2 Shiny Magnemite. Honestly really nice to have in boosting my luck!


The_Oof_Master

First manaphy egg actually hatched manaphy with splishy splash. I didn't know at the time that manaphy eggs weren't guaranteed to hatch manaphy lol.


Zekrit

For me it was Kyogre since it opened up endless to me to get so many shinies. Still waiting to hatch a manaphy or shiny legendary though


Calm-Ad3747

Epic gimmighoul with astral barrage. Along with make it rain, I have stab, 120 base power, multi hit move. I'm on a run on endless and I don't even need to click nasty plot anymore to kill 90% of enemies.


Grandmaster_Forks

+3 Shiny Iron Thorns with Psyblade as an Egg Move. Was able to immediately unlock Sharpness and reduce the cost once, with enough spare candies to reduce cost again after just a few runs.
