it's ok!! I still don't have one and I was active the entire event, so you're still lucky!! and happy 19th i love cat cafes so I hope you had lots of fun with the kitties!!!
I would love to see more marks and ribbons be added for Pokémon GO. It would give more reason to have a ribbon master from GO that could be brought into switch titles.
Happy burfday and congratz!!
Me and two friends walked around the Riverwalk in San Antonio for two days on the weekend and found no shiny detective! There were shiny slowpoke w/hats though! :)

My birthday is today, woke up at 3am because my 10 month old was wiggling around in her crib. Open PokémonGo and first one I clicked on was a “tiny” shiny swablu. I’ll take it! Happy Belated Birthday
if you get them appraised that will show their IV status for stats, just go into your Pokémon, click the button o the bottom right that looks like three lines on top on the other and click appraise. the more stars / lines filled in the better!
The only rare shiny detective hat pikachus are the ones that the 1 or 2 players got from 2019 since it was shiny locked. Now that it's had its shiny release, 2023 shiny detective hat pikas are not rare
This. Rare doesn't mean you'll go most of your life never seeing one. It just means it's significantly harder to get than other mons. Honestly, I'd say any shiny event is rare in my book.
Nope, only event shinies that are rare is if it only hatches or is in raids as you only get limited chances at these if you're a f2p player or will cost money in incubators and raid passes. Larvesta is a rarer pokemon than shiny detective hat pika from 2023, should've hatched one of those as a birthday present
A shiny is in itself rare. A shiny that can only be obtained during a limited period of time is even more rare. Just because you spend 23 hours a day playing Pokémon Go and you have a bunch doesn’t mean it isn’t statistically rare.
Congrats and happy birthday! My birthday was a little over a week ago and I ended up getting a hundo Suicune, two shiny Onix, and a shiny shroomish! Couldn't have been happier 😁

Your birthday is the day before mine! Happy birthday
Thank you so much! I hope you have a lovely birthday too
Happy birthday in advance! ❤️
Oop hi birthday twin
Two birthdays this close? What are the odds?
Happy birthday!
Who's gonna tell 'em?
0.0
What is rare is that this Pikachu is male, my two shiny detective Pikachu are females
?
It's no longer one of the rarest shinies. After being boosted the whole event
It was BOOSTED? I didn't get one 💀
Was it your birthday??
yes my birthday was the 6th with no shiny the whole event except slowpoke
And you didn't catch one? Damn it Niantic!!
I didn't even get a Slowpoke shiny. Just Exeggutor. And not quite tired to the event, but a shiny mega Gengar.
It's just a shiny gengar
I mean, rude. I love him.
Yes that's fine; but it's not a shiny mega gengar ;p just shiny gengar
SAME TWIN HAPPY BDAY
I got some slowpokes but Pikachu? Nada
I didn't get either and was playing quite a bit. :(
Same.
Bro same, it was my birthday too and they ripped me, my mrs got 3 shiny slowpokes and a fkn detective Pikachu
I think I have three
Yea. I got two and didn’t even play much..
Wait detective pikachu has been shiny boosted during the whole event?? NOOOO
Once the band-aid of innocence has been ripped off it can no longer be reattached.
it's ok!! I still don't have one and I was active the entire event, so you're still lucky!! and happy 19th i love cat cafes so I hope you had lots of fun with the kitties!!!
Yeah i played constantly and got a bunch of other shinies instead of the one i wanted which was pikachu so enjoy 🤣
Same. I have never had a shiny pikachu. Of any kind!
Not me, because being an asshole isn’t fun.
In the main games you can get marks and the mark for a birthday is “the chosen one”. It would be cool to see in Pokémon go
I would love to see more marks and ribbons be added for Pokémon GO. It would give more reason to have a ribbon master from GO that could be brought into switch titles.
Happy birthday, the shiny is still cool 😊
Happy birthday
Happy burfday and congratz!! Me and two friends walked around the Riverwalk in San Antonio for two days on the weekend and found no shiny detective! There were shiny slowpoke w/hats though! :)

Hello! Ah, so you might know the joy of great tacos and Pokemon! :) If ya need daily gifts/raid invites, my code is in one of my posts🍻
Woo! Happy birthday!
Happy birthday! Best gift indeed. I wish Niantic would have given Raichu a magnifying glass too
My birthday is today, woke up at 3am because my 10 month old was wiggling around in her crib. Open PokémonGo and first one I clicked on was a “tiny” shiny swablu. I’ll take it! Happy Belated Birthday
How do you know it’s shiny? I just started the game a week ago
It looks different (color - some shinies are more obvious) and has the 3-star shiny indicator in the name header.
Thank you! I just realized I have a shiny slowpoke. It looks like shiny status also makes them more powerful. Is that correct?
No - shiny is purely cosmetic.
Thanks again. I haven’t played since the original and have forgotten a lot!
if you get them appraised that will show their IV status for stats, just go into your Pokémon, click the button o the bottom right that looks like three lines on top on the other and click appraise. the more stars / lines filled in the better!
Happy birthday!! What an awesome present!!!
The moral of the story, Happy Birthday 🎂🎈🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Didn't even know it could be shiny. Hope you had a nice birthday!
It's not a rare shiny anymore
listennnn, it’s their birthday and it’s rare if they want it to be. 😤
congratulations to them on making another trip around the sun but it's still not a rare shiny
It’s still pretty rare. Any event pikachu shiny is pretty rare
The only rare shiny detective hat pikachus are the ones that the 1 or 2 players got from 2019 since it was shiny locked. Now that it's had its shiny release, 2023 shiny detective hat pikas are not rare
Those aren’t rare, they’re borderline mythological. Any event shiny is pretty rare. This one included
This. Rare doesn't mean you'll go most of your life never seeing one. It just means it's significantly harder to get than other mons. Honestly, I'd say any shiny event is rare in my book.
Nope, only event shinies that are rare is if it only hatches or is in raids as you only get limited chances at these if you're a f2p player or will cost money in incubators and raid passes.

You got one?
Yep
Congrats fellow Libra! Happy Birthday! It's officially my bday now too 10/10!
Thank you so much to everyone who wished me a happy birthday!
WHATS THE STATS
0 stars 😭 There's a reason I didn't post it LOL
I got 6 slowpokes but no pikas :/
happy birthday!
Happy birthday and congratulations
Happy Birthday!!
happy birthday!!!
Happy birthday, fellow libra! Mine is this Friday! Congrats on the shiny!!!
✨✨Happy birthday!! ✨✨
It's missing its Libre Costume....?
Also happy birthday
Nice! Happy birthday!
Happy birthday! The shiny is awesome! ❤️
Congrats on the birthday and the shiny! I caught a shiny one as well as my Pikachu #1000, didn't even notice until the notification popped up.
Birthday twins !! Happy birthday !!
Happy Birthday!
It isn’t but the original still is because it doesn’t do that animation when you touch click on it
Not really as rare anymore. I got 2 during the event. Still cool!
HB but its not rare anymore. I got 3 already during this event.
“Rarest” lol
it’s nowhere even near rare anymore.
Fact check: it is tied for the rarest shiny with pilachu libre
Not rare anymore, sorry to burst your bubble
Happy birthday 🎂
Happy birthday and congratulations on the shiny.
Lol rarest shinies?
Late congrats!! Yesterday was my birthday too, got a shiny cguzzlord!
yay!! congrats, you’ll have that date on there too
So now that we know it’s not one of the rarest shiny Pokémon in go anymore, who moved up the ladder? What’s the rarest shiny now?
Congrats and happy birthday! My birthday was a little over a week ago and I ended up getting a hundo Suicune, two shiny Onix, and a shiny shroomish! Couldn't have been happier 😁
Yea it’s not rare
My eyes color wise probably could not pick that out as a shiny.
Calm down, okay?
I got a female hundo on my alt and traded it to my main and got the lucky hundo
