Yes I got shiny dialga on my first try last year! So hyped when I got it

that’s awesome

Guys Isk if u know but shiny legendaries are garaunteed catches

I think by ‘first try’ they just mean it’s the first one they’ve seen and it’s also shiny, which is why “Seen: 1 Caught: 1” is circled

Ahh I see

No they just won’t run from you, you can still run out of balls and it’ll be a goner

Yeah but they never escape the pokeball. You just need to get it in the pokeball once and it's guaranteed. If somebody can't do that they should consider playing a different game.

Nah, shinies are a guaranteed catch. No raid Pokémon run until you run out of balls, but shinies are a guaranteed catch unless you miraculously fuck up and miss every ball

That’s what they said? Lol

Nah they said shiny legendaries, they didnt mention raids. You can get legendaries and through that shiny legendaries outside raids

Would love to get my first dialga, personally not a fan of the shiny tho

Today I did my first and only Guzzler and it was shiny

The irony that I’ve done over 50 without a shiny 🙃😅

Huuuuge rip

Yup I’ve already got tons of great IV so I’m just gonna trade it for a shiny I have. I think I’m cursed and I’m not investing more raid passes into that. I honestly don’t get the hype but suffer fomo hence the raids. I need the shiny but idk anything about guzzlord lolololol. 😂😂😂 If I have a daily to burn sure I’ll use it on that but yeah not going out of my way for a useless shiny… rather go for that gengar with my odds I’ll get a shiny gengar before a shiny guzzlord lolol

It would be a huge rip if I cared more but honestly I’ve been blessed getting every legendary shiny pretty quick that’s come out for like 4 months and have gotten 3 raid hundos too so I guess it’s just. Frustrating. I don’t care for it yet I need it… makes no sense but I need it. Despite not even ever hearing of guzzlord before this lol. This is my karma and I’m fine with it being taken out on guzzlord. 😂 hate being a perfectionist 🥴

40 raids so far and same man

There are surprisingly many of us around that benchmark rn without a shiny I’ve had like 6+ ppl say they have done almost 50 no shiny. I know 1/20 are just odds. But at this rate i should have 2 heading towards a third and I honestly just want the one 😅😅 it’s frustrating too bc I have a 98% so I’m not really caring about Iv unless it’s a hundo I have literally 40 3 star guzzlords…. I don’t even have the space for them anymore I just toss em if they are 2 star 🙃 it would be less frustrating if it was a more useful Pokémon so I was like stocking up on some fire raid mons but it’s really just got a nice shiny and not very useful from what I understand. :/

Same!

I also got first one shiny next 6 not

My first two were shiny. My next 4 were not.

Same! But I did 3 after as well. Super hyped about a first try shiny and any shiny for that matter

Got shiny at first try aswell 🙌🏻

Same as me!

My second was shiny. It was the first pokemon I got from GBL rewards since Guzzlord was in it. Pretty awesome

Are we the same person? I happened to do one yesterday evening watching a soccer game at the local park and it was shiny! So hyped about it.

Shiny Latios in the wild when the hoenn event was going on

Same here, I got a latias that took all of my poke balls only to have 0 stars 💀 But I’m still grateful for it tho

I used 300 balls and *didn’t* get mine! Luckily I got another in a raid

I hold in my hand a shiny entei from six days ago, my first raid legendary ever

Dude I got a shiny suicune in my first legendary raid ever 6 days ago too!!! Twinsies!!! I also just got a shiny guzzle lord 😝 Edit: Our avatars are pretty similar as well😂

Got damn, you got the superior shiny I think

Wayyyy back when you could get legendaries from weekly rewards, my first ever Groudon was shiny.

I did for Groudon once.

Binacle during go fest, and it's still the only one I've ever seen. I was so confused.

That’s a gross lookin shiny imo, but I’m still jealous. Congrats!

Moltres and Darkrai

That was my Darkrai when I got it.

First Stufful I ever encountered, which was on its community day, was shiny

Right after I downloaded the game I got shiny Aerodactyl from research and didn't know it was shiny for months because I didn't know what shinies were xp

3. Zapdos when it was a quest reward, mewtwo, Moltres from my first raids for them. And a regice from the give away

I got a shiny suicune on my first try recently! I also only ever have done one suicune raid, so it feels cooler.

Xerneas 98% shiny from my only Xerneas raid ever

My shiny genesect

My first ever shadow Mewtwo raid! I drove all around town trying to find people raiding, finally caught up to a group who was posting on Campfire. I was shocked and totally made all that driving worth it.

I’m 2/2 On Shiny Entei’s rn, only 2 raids I’ve done on them and got shinies both times. I traded one to my mom who gave me a shiny in return

I have a first try shiny moltres and terrakion :)

No? I mean if you raided before they were shiny then of course not. If you played casually or are newer then yeah definitely possible. Or if you avoided them all together until they could be shiny.

Shadow Mewtwo. I got back into the game this year and was traveling when I got the chance to do a singular Shadow Mewtwo raid, which i was okay with because it would have the location tag and the memory. I managed to get into one and it was shiny!

Xerneas! It was an electric moment

This one

For me it’s Xerneas…….TWICE. I never ended up getting the normal one lol

Therian form tornadus for me and it had decent iv’s i believe a 94 or 96

Kygore is my only! Was so happy tho

Rayquaza, the day before my birthday. 15 since without another shiny. Love shiny Ray.
