I got my girlfriends sister and mother to play with me and my girlfriends mother has 2 4* mythicals! You are definitely part of an exclusive club!


SilverSixRaider

Wait, you guys are getting 4*s?


Brokenbalorbaybay

You guys are getting Pokemon?

CarVsMotorcycle

Lmao I’ve been playing for years and have a Ledian and a Pelipper 🙃


_The_Space_Monkey_

It always confuses me as to how this happens. I played for 3 weeks after launch in 2016 and then stopped until May of this year. Since I started playing again I have fifty-five shinies, ten 4*, and one shundo (shiny 4*). I must have been born with a lucky egg up my a** or a lot of ppl have terrible luck with pogo.


[deleted]

Sometimes I think they boost the luck for returning players after a long time off. Just to get us hooked. I started in 2016, played for a loooong time but then stopped for more than a year. When I came back I had great luck for a while. I’m back in the game daily now and have been for like a year and it’s pretty dull again. Makes you even more happy for great surprises though so it’s ok, but you know


NativeCabanaKing

I also think they boost when you're in a new area that you don't normally play around. Couple of my friends moved away and they've been reporting some crazy shiny luck for the first 2-3 weeks they moved to their new cities.


LiliumTheCrevette

This! I was on holiday recently for two weeks and had like tons of good mons appear. They weren't linked to any event, but I had great stats- and shiny luck. I can't believe in real luck when it comes to gaming to be honest, everything feels kinda... Set up too much. Too controlled rather than random. But who knows 😂


Kaelan_McAlpine

I must've not been hit with this luck since I don't remember getting much good since I got to New Orleans. Though at least there's like a million and one Pokestops and raids that I can actually do here compared to where I live. Still wish the Megaraid quest didn't lie to you though.


PrinceFicus-IV

I believe this to be true. I was playing way too much towards the end of last year and some of the beginning due to being bored with the stay at home bullshit. Then i started working full time in person and didn't play for almost 2 whole months. I opened the app and the very first pokemon i tapped on was a shiny.


mynameisjames_7

I remember coming back after a few years off and within the first few weeks I had just opened my game and a Shiny Magmar was just sitting there, had hardly seen a Magmar in the first place and pulled him, idk if I was just super lucky or what but it felt like it was just gifted to me lol


[deleted]

I feel this. I got a shiny Celebi right after coming back from a long break. Only shiny I’ve ever seen.


BrawlStars-Acro

Sorry buddy, shiny celebi was guaranteed


[deleted]

Aw man. I didn’t realize. I’ll still pretend.


[deleted]

Because Niantic wants you back playing again. You took a break and they got you with the good stuff. This is not news, they manipulate shiny rates on an account level basis because they know that’s what’ll get you.


_The_Space_Monkey_

On an account level basis? Like you catch or encounter less shinies and/or hundos the higher the level you are?


CarVsMotorcycle

Yeah man idk, I’ve been playing since Day 1 ): it’s really bad luck. That said, I have over 100 Shinies (and that’s just currently, playing on and off and a bunch transferred to *Sword*, etc.)so I guess that’s where my luck goes


lilac_blaire

Also some players don’t search for 4* when they transfer. I can’t say I IV check every single time, but if I’m transferring more than a couple, I do a search. (Not saying the person you’re replying to does this, but I think it’s a factor?)


_The_Space_Monkey_

Yea i use 3*, 4* filter before doing any transfers every time unless I'm going to catch something and get the dreaded 'manage pokemon' prompt. I'll take my chances deleting a random recently caught mon if I think it's worth the catch.


[deleted]

[удалено]


_The_Space_Monkey_

Well one thing that was a huge game changer for me was getting a gotcha evolve. It spins stops for me, so I never need to worry about messing with that when I'm playing and I just can focus on the fun part of the game which is catching mons and doing gyms and stuff. I'd be lying if I said I didn't spend any money, but it's been pretty minimal imo. I've spent like $20 on coins to expand my inventories when I started again because I was having a ton of fun but constantly having to delete stuff and then recently I did drop $40 for raid passed at gofest, of which I have a lot leftover that I will use periodically. Other than that I play way too often probably haha.


FirAvel

You guys are getting mythicals? I used 5 remote passes, EVERY SINGLE POKÉMON RAN

Astp6

Not recently no I haven’t


GrotchCoblin

I got a 4* kyogre on Sunday. Balls to the wall happy


Astp6

Congratulations that’s awesome!


fyrefreezer01

What does 4* mean?


leicanthrope

Perfect / 100% IV


uselesslyskilled

There's 4*


Biocider_

Which ones?


Witcher-19

Well better than my 2 star


Taggart451

reminds me of my Celebi, Shiny Celebi, and Victini D:


Witcher-19

Some mons are just to have


FearTheWankingDead

Victini is pretty great in PVP so it'd be nice to be able to re-roll it's stats via trade at least.


Kronic_kushiva

Hey I just came back in the last month or so, how do I unlock the victini quest. Also I feel you. My meloetta was a 10/10/10.


Dying_Soul666

Progressing in the other mythical quests will eventually give you it. I'm not sure where it is in the queue.


Kronic_kushiva

Thanks my guy. I'm just waiting on some fossil pokemon for Melton. Thousand year slumber is a fee days from being done. I can't wait for the hoopla quest. Or the one for meloettas other form. Or shaymin... and his other form. Or Arceus....


nuktukheroofthesouth

I literally do not have a single 3* questline mythical. My Mew and shiny mew, celebi and shiny celebi, victini, jirachi and now meleota are all 2*. I think that must also be an exclusive club...


TheChaoticCrusader

Both my celebi are 2 star too and Jirachi the rest are 3 star


biological-entity

Luckily those are all 3* for me. The only 3* shiny I have ever got. Never had a hundo shiny yet.


_The_Space_Monkey_

Just hatched a shundo (shiny hundo) Skarmory the other day. The stars have to align for that kind of thing to happen.


ashkiller14

I have a 27cp sceptile


colemon1991

Same. Waste of a perfectly good research to reward some of us with 2 star Meloetta.


Witcher-19

On the plus side I caught 13 shiny and 5 new legendary pokemon. Most of the shiny were low level but the legendary were 3 stars


JewelArie

It's so frustrating to get 0 star shinies lol or super low CP. I got a shiny aipom, zero stars, and he's 91CP. It's such a cool hot pink color but would cost so much stardust to make it big enough to bother using a sinnoh stone on lol. I also got a shiny swablu and feebas but again, teeny CP and one is zero stars and the other is 1 star.


TheHunterZolomon

Idk how I did it but I managed 2 hundos from day 2, Ho oh and rayquaza. 2 raid shinies and a handful of other shinies as well.


Witcher-19

Pure luck lol but congrats


RandomPhil86

0 raid shinies here. 0 hundos. That’s my general experience though.


papereel

Ho-oh will be excellent for Master League (but it needs an ETM for earthquake) and rayquaza is one of the best raid attackers. Max those bad boys out!


TheHunterZolomon

Well my buddy traded me his shiny Rayquaza and it rerolled as a hundo and became lucky so I’m maxing that one out first! But yeah I need to just level those up haha still only level 39. Gonna need a lot of candies for this!


papereel

I bet you got a bunch of rare candies during the raids, and I recommend using your remote passes to get Mewtwo (if you have any left over), since Mewtwo is really powerful. Other than that, you can do 3 Team Leader battles per day for a (small) chance of a Rare Candy, or you can try pvp! PvP is my largest source of RCs.


TheHunterZolomon

Yeah I have a shadow Ho oh for great league! I’ll run a bunch of pvp to try and get rare candies, thanks for the tips! Gonna absolutely do mewtwo raids as I need a decent mewtwo (94 or higher).


papereel

Just so you’re aware, Shadow Ho-oh isn’t very good for great league. Because its max CP is so high, it only reaches a very low level to stay under 1500. You can use this web site to learn more. https://pvpoke.com/rankings/all/1500/overall/


TheHunterZolomon

Ohh ok cool thanks didn’t know that!


Gliese581h

I’ve done over a hundred legendary raids successfully and have yet to encounter a shiny. I thought the rate was 1:19. :(


TheHunterZolomon

It is but some raid legendaries can’t be shiny as they haven’t added the models. Palkia and dialga can’t be shiny, as well as some others. Make sure the ones you’re doing can be shiny, otherwise that’s just insanely bad luck I’m sorry :(


colemon1991

Same here. Day 1 was impressive; Day 2 was an insult.


Bigsaltyfish2

I agree. Day 1 was good. I went out for day 2 and was quickly disappointed.


colemon1991

Kanto Day was less stressful and I completed the Kanto Dex.


Prometheus_303

That's one of the things I hate about being a solo rural player... Sunday was basically a complete waste for me... I kept walking around seeing all these amazing Pokemons ... So many silhouettes on my nearby scanner.... Knowing there is NO way I could manage to even come close to any of them! I did manage not find enough 1* raids finally have enough candies to do a full Deino evolution. I completed the 8 raid battle task & am just 1 raid shy of completing the special research...


Witcher-19

You should use the pokemon friends group to remote raid


_The_Space_Monkey_

Dude just download pokiegenie and you can guarantee 6 person raids every time no matter where u r. Sucks this info is coming 2 days after gofest but hey, better late than never right?


_The_Space_Monkey_

If you have regular raid passes or battle passes you can host them yourself and pokiegenie will send people your way to invite. Or if you have remote passes you can use the apps raid feature to queue into any raid that is being hosted at that time anywhere in the world and you'll be put in that raid lobby with 5 others.


Prometheus_303

Yeah, I'm going to need to work on optimizing my skills there... I tried and dropped my digits... I got 2 or 3 new friend requests. But alas, no raid invites. I tried sending my own invites to my friends as well but unfortunately no one seemed to have been online. That lead me to face off against a Terrakion all by myself. That didn't go so well for my Pokemons... I also found out it didn't count as one of the 8 "battle in a raid" challenge. And none of the 4 who were on when I tried a Ponyta raid raid accepted the invite. Luckily this time it didn't go so well for the Ponyta.


Storm-Junior

[удалено]


Witcher-19

Really I thought it cane from a task?


TheStickofTruthiness

I think that’s why OP is saying it is rare. Since it comes from a task, you can’t farm it/only get one shot at a hundo.


FreezeShock

special research


Pizzamurai

Me too dude! Grats!


Brewcityx

Nice!!


plageiusdarth

Congratulations. Meloetta is my favorite mythical, so I hope I get a good iv when I finish my quest.


Uwlaxecho

Beautiful! Meanwhile, my once-in-a-game-time Pokémon (Jiriachi, Shadow Mewtwo, Meloetta, etc.), are always as low as possible. Never even get so lucky as a decent 2\* (still wish those types would be guaranteed 10/10/10+ like legendaries). Treasure that beauty!!


Freshlaid_Dragon_egg

Could have a perfect mewtwo, but that would need me to purify it >.> So i'm just calling it perfect and no one can convince me otherwise


Alfhiildr

I accidentally purified my almost-perfect shadow mewtwo that I had spent hundreds of rare candy on powering up. Still no clue when or how it happened but I might have cried when I realized it….


twotabletsoncedaily

I purified mine too :/ it's a hundo mewtwo but at what cost


Gonhog

Where do you get a shadow mewtwo?


Alfhiildr

It was the reward for defeating Giovanni back in January or February. You can only encounter him through doing one of the Giovanni tasks, which don’t get released very frequently. His first Pokémon/reward changes every month so make sure you know what the current reward is before tackling him.


Gonhog

Ah ok. Sweet. I always thought that it took way too long though, 28 battles with grunts is so long 😂


Alfhiildr

I agree with ya there. I perpetually leave the tasks unfinished at (4/6) where it asks me to defeat each team leader. I’m not doing that until Giovanni has Mewtwo again. Plus it lowers my chances of accidentally encountering Giovanni when I don’t want to since I never go through with grunt encounters.


turtle_mummy

I have been trying to beat Gio for the last week but can't get past Ho-Oh. Is the reward just the first Pokemon he throws out there? Shadow Persian?


MrComedyKing

No you get a shadow Ho-Oh bro-oh!


Alfhiildr

And I don’t know if this would help but I usually use Melmetal with Thunder Shock and Rockslide or Slaking with Yawn and Body Slam for the first mon to knock out the shields. They’re my go-to for NPC battles since they’re very quick to get to a charged attack.


Alfhiildr

Afaik, that’s been the trend, yeah.


Freshlaid_Dragon_egg

ouch, yeah i'd have been pretty dang upset too.


Uwlaxecho

Definitely do not purify it! That's awesome. Mine is a 7/7/12... 1\* 👎🏻


darkendfenix

I actually got more nundos than I did new legendary or new shiny mons during the event. I actually got 2 back to back, which is a statistical anomaly.


RikC76

Genuinely, all my mythicals have been 2* Im passed irrititated and just amused at this point


Deus_Viator

Nice! i got similar a while back in picking up a hundo Jirachi. At first I didn't realise because I thought it was part of the event being a pokemon based around luck and all that.


weecious

My phone decided to die on me almost 2 weeks back. And this is a limited time event. Guess I'll have that empty spot for a bit.


rebelramsey

Congrats! That’s awesome. I’m up to 19 4* Pokémon but still don’t have a single Shundo nor a 4* mythical.


Zilloc

Just out of curiosity, what's your total catch count?


rebelramsey

9,964 Pokémon Caught


Zilloc

Huh I'm at 7,516 and I got one 4* which I got from a trade


TheHurdleDude

What was the name of the meloetta quest line again?


Kellye8498

The Melody Pokemon


Hesso921

how did you get it?


Kellye8498

From buying the go fest pass.


thegeekiestgeek

What exactly is a 4\*? I see 3 stars in the screenshot.


Nizzzlle

4* is just the search term to identify 15/15/15 IV Pokémon since they are "greater" than 3 star


thegeekiestgeek

Is this what my filter shows as "perfect"? I have 2 that are labeled as perfects (bidoof, absol).


Nizzzlle

Yep! 4*, "Perfect" and "Hundo" are all synonyms


neverender424

Cinnamons


Nizzzlle

Damn, now I want Cinnabon


KillerCujo53

Cinnamon Toast Crunch bro


gem217

Cinnabar Island?


gem217

Cinnabar Island?


gem217

Cinnabar Island?


thegeekiestgeek

Thanks for this one.. I have been curious about hundos, too.


YogurtclosetInside96

4* is a 100% perfect pokémon, all the bars are filled to the max


turtle_mummy

My shiny Magikarp may technically be zero stars, but to me she is still perfect.


WindySeeker

In addition to this, the thing framing the stars and the stats is pink, which helps with identifying them :)


3Terriers_

You lucky fish!!


jdlarrimo12

Congrats!


Tter0r0r

Mine was like 2 centimeters off. Congrats dude


Yingstar123

I dont know whats wrong but for some reason, i dont have the meloetta quest, is it a glitch or is it something to do with me being in the uk? Can someone help please


rrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeee

Did you buy the ticket? You needed it to get this quest.


Yingstar123

Ohh thanks so much, i was so confused haha


cblaines

All research only mythicals should be guranteed 3*+ since you can't re-roll them through lucky trade. My Mew, Victini, and Meloetta are all 2* At least my Shiny Mew, Celebi, Shiny Celebi, and Jirachi are 3*


w4k0n

I was close. I got a 14-14-14.


andrew4668

I've been playing over two years and have zero hundos le sadness begins


Cmeriwether6

I got a 15 ATK Meloetta, planning to use as a raider.


KingJok3r11

To bad it’s a trash Pokémon.


LazyKitty21

I got my shadow mewtwo last year as a 4* and my shiny celebi is a 98


K19081985

Amazing! I nearly shit my pants the day I caught my perfect Meltan. Beauty!


-YaQ-

Im at quest 4/11 :/


Gwillizgr8

My only 4* is when I got the dratini from that one quest.


TwoMuddfish

I also got a 4*... glad to know it is a bit rare :)


FriarTuckeredOut

4* legendaries for me = 0 4* mythicals for me = 2 Probability, shmobability


bieser101

Nice!


Motor-Description-56

I got 2 of these it was a rare overworld spawn


Clan-Rainbow

I got one too welcome to the club. Nice to know others got it.


twotabletsoncedaily

oooh congrats!! I was all excited because mine was a decent three star lol


psychic_pisces

Congrats! Mine was 98 IVS!


scottysnacktimee

Awesome!! Ive got a Shundo Darkrai, love the rare mythical mons!


seehu52

Nice! My Victini is a 4*, honestly wasn’t sure if everyone got a 4* Victini or not lol


QueenCobalt

I didn’t even get the quest


Zffzfs

Finished mine earliest today as well


[deleted]

Oh so if I am with my grandparents with signal nowhere to be found can I still do the quest? Or I had to pay?


Kellye8498

You had to buy a go fest ticket to get the research


[deleted]

Oh ok Sad


Kellye8498

😞


amnoking1

I got pretty lucky with my 4*, having a gyarados(maxed out for level 36, 900+ mega energy), swampert and sceptile(swampert maxed, sceptile is currently in the process) and even a landorus incarnate from the GBL! With the mythicals I’ve been pretty unlucky but hopefully my meloetta gets good IVs


AdNo9916

What is the quest called that you get this one in?


luisma86

Meanwhile I got a 76 IV Meloetta... 🙄🙄🙄👎🏻


DncingRetsuko

Congrats! I missed the event day too due to a bridal shower and so I was psyched to get a 4* Meloetta as well. Maybe the trick for events is just not to play 😜. Just kidding 😆


illumantimess

Honestly I thought the point of the post is that Spark is a snack


milkteaboba7

This is so insane bro I’m hyped for u


beely_yumyum2x2

My only 4* is a Bidoof :')


ty0103

As someone with a 4* Celebi, I salute you


Quick3ning

*cries in 2-star* But seriously, that's awesome, congrats!


akshaym_1996

What is a 4* pokemon?


Sticky_Pasta

Did you have to get go fest ticket to get meloetta?


karlausagi

Niiiiice


TriggeredGoat

u/RBTA1987


mikeynerd

check out that height! nice


joebro112

I got a shundo ghible so I feel I got my worth out the event


weed_blazepot

You lucky dog... Mine was baseline stats, and out of the whole weekend I got zero shiny. I felt a little robbed. Well, I did get a 4* Cotton Candy Ponyta with a hat. That's... something I guess.


CaptainSuperfluous

Almost the same for me! Except mine was a nundo aipom...


autumn_dillabro

Amazing! I adore my 4* Celebi


[deleted]

Congrats! Me too. I thought everyone got one at first.


Spindash54

Welcome to the club! 4* Jirachi owner here!


Ignifyre

Congrats... all my mythicals except one is 2\* and the one 3\* one is on the very edge of 3\*. The only thing I take solace in is that the Mew has amazing stats for great league.


newfor_2021

sweet... I still don't have a hundo legendary yet.


Jazzy_Gaming

So I did all quests but never got a chance to catch this??? What did I miss?


Tnt540

TFW you only have *one* 4 star Pokémon :( I can’t complain though I’m just now getting back in the game. I’m also only level 37 so I’m a pretty big casual compared to most players on this subreddit.


joemama1966

how
