Summary
A luckyPokemon GOplayer seems to have hit the jackpot and found several shinies and hundo Pokemon in the game, including the likes of Oranguru, Beldum, Groudon, and several others in a matter of just eleven days. Considering that it usually takesPokemon GOplayers weeks of hard work to get a shiny or a hundo Pokemon, this incident has left many in the community surprised.
Fans are always looking to get their hands on hundos and shinies, which are some of therarest Pokemon inPokemon GO. While shinies are more sought from a collector’s perspective, hundos are the strongest variant of a Pokemon since they have perfect IV stats. That being said, for one fan, shiny and hundo hunting seems to have become a cakewalk.
In a new post on thePokemon GOsubreddit, user lizzygrantmp3 reveals how lucky their brother has been while playing the game. Apparently, he has been on a hot streak where he got a shiny Kyogre, Murkrow, Sneasel, Pineco, Gastly, Sandile, Ralts, Spritzee, and Oranguru in a matter of eleven days. He also ended up getting hundo Chansey, Pangoro, Groudon, andBeldum inPokemon GOalong with the shinies, which is really impressive, to say the least.
Pokemon GO Fans Think Shiny Encounters Are Tied To Accounts
While the collection is quite impressive, it has definitely made many in the community quite jealous, as it is an arduous task to get the shinies, let alone thehundo Pokemon inPokemon GO. In fact, the original poster themselves highlights that the encounters have been totally opposite for them despite playing a lot with their brother. They add that they got only two shinies during thePokemon GOCommunity Day, which pales in comparison to the feats their brother achieved.
One Redditor highlights that this incident sounds quite similar to the “sun accounts” inDiablo 3, where a certain player would get way more legendary drops than regular players. Others believe that the shinies are determined by random seed tied to an account, but by far the most supported theory seems to be that accounts have a hidden luck stat that rerolls every season. Fans believe that this hidden luck stat might be favoring this player during the ongoingPokemon GOMax Out season, but it will soon change once the new season arrives, as others have witnessed something similar.
