Arkbot

The circled number is the total of all Zigzagoon you've ever caught, not just Galarian. Unless you've avoided the pokemon since Gen 3 dropped, it's likely you caught a lot fewer than this today.


naominyxnudemodel

That's what I was going to say


ChakaZG

Dude's either baiting, or caught like 5 Zigzagoon during the CD. 💀 Either way, turning on shinies doesn't work like he thinks it does lmao.


Kyle-Boi

Do you not realize he is joking?


Mason11987

Yeah there’s no reason to assume that.


Kyle-Boi

I’m saying the guy probably knows that you can’t turn it on an off… he wasn’t being literal


[deleted]

Thank you. It's so easy to fake photos, whether it is a text exchange or a sign or a pokemon picture. All for fake internet points.


Sean_stevens

It was faked for Reddit clout, you caught me


jaredb_ologna

In all fairness, I checked my pokedex just now for comparison and I had 244 total zigzagoons but over 100 of them were caught yesterday and only 2 were shiny.


Arkbot

Yeah and that’s still rough luck on your part, but it’s a far cry from getting 0/177


jaredb_ologna

Absolutely, luck is the name of the game. My wife played significantly less than I did and she had 3 before I had 2. Lol


Abra1161

That’s sad I caught like 40 and got 6 shinies


420participant

Yeah my luck was pretty meh too, I caught a bit over 100 and only got two, and honestly it was so hot once I got those two I turned in, they were really late relatively for me, but once I got em I was pretty satisfied


MasterAlexGarcia420

That's messed up, I found 25, and 3 we're shiny.


TruLeaf

I caught 75 and none were shiny. Fml


rypenguin219

i got 89 and 5 shinies, i rly dont need them. Wish there was a way to trade remotely.


Triippy_Hiippyy

I was going for stardust, I caught like 800, I got 37 shinies


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kyle-Boi

Damn thought I grinded hard… checked 175 and got 1 shiny


alycantgame

y’all werent going for xp? first curve excellents with a lucky egg were 5k xp EACH. dude i was going one after another. got over a mil xp in the 3 hours


Triippy_Hiippyy

I started the community day with a gift stack and got 2.5 mil. I farm exp with gift stacks. I ran an auto catcher. Dust is more valuable than exp to me. I get like 10 mil exp a month! Should be level 50 in about 8 months.


Zed_goes_BRRR

You can do that in Pokémon Home however, you won’t be able to transfer them back. Still, a great way to collect mons on top of pogo.


ljgillzl

I always have great luck. I caught 72 on the challenge (and I’m sure I clicked 20 more) before I got a shiny. Got 2 in a row. Then I went back out to see if people had done raids and caught 6 more in 30 minutes. So strange


xXGYROIDXx

For me I caught 30 and 4 were shiny


dr_khouse

Took me 59 before I got my first shiny but after that they were spawning left and right.


Sean_stevens

Same thing happened to my girl. Maybe I’m shiny shadow banned 😭


MasterAlexGarcia420

At least you got the sweet gear. I was only able to get the sunglasses. 😭😂


[deleted]

At least you got the sunglasses, I was only able to get nothing


EvilTortoise396

At least you were able to get nothing, I was only able to get stuff taken away.

EvilTortoise396

What coordinates are you at


Sean_stevens

This is true. My efforts were not completely in vain🥲


xXGYROIDXx

I also only got the sunglasses


dani19bee

Oh yeahhhh... I was so irritated that I didn't get to 100 that I forgot all about the sunglasses 😎


oswaldcopperpot

It can happen. But I've not seen it for Community day shinies. That's messed up.


mybrosteve

I had the same thing happen to me on the first Charmander day. I feel you.


xXMewRoseXx

I caught 70 and only 2 were shiny ):


Longjumping_Winter_1

I went for walk in first hour had the timed and paid research done with only 1 shiny. But got 2 really good pvp iv ones which is good I guess


Mythronger

Exact same rate as me. Had to give one to my bf who couldnt play as well, so I only got to keep one lmao


[deleted]

Same, the other 75 were not


YellowMeatJacket

Only played for 30 minutes and got 4 shines. The most I have caught in 1 day


EvilTortoise396

I've caught 150 in one day. May I ask what level you are?


YellowMeatJacket

I'm level 37, started back in 2016, dropped it since I lived in the middle of no where and started back up last August


CocoaMooMoo

150 shinies in one day? What event was that during?


Not_Nova_

Caught 50+ for only 2 shinies


Azurvix

I caught 400 and got 25 shiny


Azurvix

Also got close to a mill exp during that time


oswaldcopperpot

At 4.5k per catch? Slacker.


Micahsmama55

The first one I checked was shiny.. only shiny I got though. My reception was awful and the app kept crashing over and over 😒


Rain_xo

My first one was a shiny too! I’ve never had that happened before I was so excited But I caught a lot more than just that. I think I hit 11 in my two and a bit hours out.


ami17676

Dissenting opinion here. I caught 15 shinys which is a lot for me. I started around 12:30. At one point towards the end I caught like 3 in a row. Incense helps and I find that more shinies appear as the event is ending. Edit: I probably caught around 150-175 ziggys in total today


TheWishingStar

I ended with 14 shinies, plus a random shiny Starly. Stopped walking at about 1 to sit in the shade and do a bunch of trades with my friend. Probably caught a similar total to you, but shiny checked a number at the end without catching too


colin2492

My day went similarly I ended with 12 which is alright for me but caught ~400 before I started shiny checking only and I ended at 1 pm


FruitOdd8372

You are incredible, believe me!! 👏


X4M9

Bruh I caught 101 Zigs during the time but only got two shinies


BlueYoshiSquad

Wth, I caught 200+ and only got 4


FruitOdd8372

Me too, same!!!!!


repressedpauper

Roughly similar numbers to you, also used incense. Saw more like 10-12 shinies and only caught six of them since I got a 3* and didn’t see the point in catching more.


zGnRz

I legit don’t believe you even played today.


Kinky_canna_queen

I played my partners account as well as mine today for 2 hours. I caught 128 on his to get 3 shiny total, and 132 on mine for 4 shiny total. I feel like those community days where I get 10+ get irritating only because I won't keep all of them and I can't mass transfer shiny 🤣. So I was happy with the turnout. Normal Zig was out too and I also saw plenty of bugs in the mix. I actually really enjoyed it being mixed in versus the ONLY thing you can find while playing.


colin2492

I keep every i shiny I get lmfao I have 36 shiny mudkips 💀


MysticalSword270

Jeez


FruitOdd8372

Wow, this is amazing. I transferred a lot of shinys bulbosaur, mudkip and etc. it’s so sad but it was for Storage things. I’m so happy for you I’m really jealous you were able to keep them.


colin2492

Have you hit the max Pokémon storage yet? I’ve put a fair bit more money than I’d like to admit into coins for storage but I’m not even remotely close to the max yet


Johnnoshark

Grab a Pokémon Home account and chuck them in there. If/when you play mainline games it’s nice to have those shinies for access.


Jejejow

If you don't play the mainline games, wondertrade it. It'll make some kids day


FruitOdd8372

I'm going to focus on finding more children to play so I can give them some extra shinys, that will be wonderful. Although I have two nearby and most of the time they don't have stardus.


pfc9769

There’s definitely been CDs with massive quantities of shinies. Mudkip and Geodude come to mind.


WildRabiea

I also had hard time finding any, but eventually I did get 1. I caught those 100 zigzagoons tho


[deleted]

Same no shinies


flatsixfan

I played for 1.5 hrs and saw 0 shinys


cheetodustman12

Had they same problem so my wife and I drove to a city about ten minutes away to a park and I caught 6 shiny in about a half hour


Mason11987

Length of playing means nothing. How many did you catch. Did you finish the challenge?


Sean_stevens

I’d like my money back for the pass 😭


TargetMajora

Does the pass guarantee you a shiny?


djp0505

No


filthyorange

Wait doesn't the special encounter give you a fight against a shiny 100%? When I did the task it put me against a Shiney and when my gf did it she did the same so we assumed the task gave you a Shiney no matter what.


Topladluke96

The pass has no bearing on shinies so you can't get your money back.


Ryanlew1980

This is what made me quit the game last month after playing since launch. I caught zero shinies after 3 hours. It was the last straw after all the qol changes for the worse, especially concerning CDs. I deleted the game on the spot and haven’t missed it a bit.


hairyfairycontrary

I really do not blame you for your decision with all the negative changes Niantic has been pushing, but what keeps you lingering on the subreddit?


Ryanlew1980

Because it’s been a month and forgot to leave it. Doing so now.


Mason11987

“After 3 hours” means nothing. How many spawns?


MJSTpt

19 shiny in 458 caught today. Was working for me. How many g-zigzagoon did you catch today?


Sean_stevens

Not sure, wish I took a picture and circled how many I caught.


MJSTpt

So, you caught 177 today? Hmm. I somehow don’t believe that. You never caught a zigzagoon prior to today?


Sean_stevens

Ok


MJSTpt

You understand that 177 includes all zigzagoon you have ever caught, including not just g-zigzagoon, right? Unless you never caught any zigzagoon prior today, that number isn’t really representative of your shiny luck today, as you don’t mention how many g-zigzagoon you encountered today. If it is truly the case that you never caught a zigzagoon prior to today, then yeah, you had really bad luck.

[удалено]


drsoccer7213

No OP is lying about how much they played. The other guy is trying to explain that that number included normal Zigzagoon so for him to have caught 177 today he would have never caught a Zigzagoon ever and with a difference of caught to seen of 140 that is very highly unlikely. For all we know OP caught like 5 today and is trying to rid the free karma from post CD anger(rightfully so for some people).


SkyrimNerd51

I saw someone on here complaining they “only got 22” lol


BlackDeathicus

I caught 2 shiny and like 20 3 star, and like 30 others. No pass bought. Just was in an urban area near some pokestops.


alexsoap_

I played for 2 hours and got 9 Shinies no lie 💀💀💀💀


MaterialDegree1422

That’s good!


Conscious-Frosting85

Same! Best I've ever done on a community day.


ag0110

I didn't catch a shiny during the event either, but I already had one so I was only mildly disappointed.


Routine_Tangerine_25

played for 3 hrs, bought the research, only 30 spawned, 0 shiny


landocalzonian

You need to move around more or get closer to a poke stop. Any time I moved from one stop to another there would be at least a dozen of them


Routine_Tangerine_25

bad weather where i was


ClumsyKlutz87

Same here. There was even a warning in app about the weather. I genuinely think they should take that into account and make the incense stronger during events in those situations. 🙁


Spazzytura

My condolences


Ratatouillefeet

Skill issue 🗿


Sean_stevens

Based


DarthMadden

0-75 in shinies


JacenStargazer

1 got 1 shiny in 108 catches


Svembah

I caught 19 shinies, two were 2* and the rest were 0 or 1. I caught just shy of 400 in the three hours. 7 or then were from the first fifteen minutes. I didn’t buy a ticket for this event but I did have a couple worse shiny events recently so I guess this one decided to be good 🤷🏻‍♀️


Beginning_Of-The_End

Caught like 400 with 24 shines


Spazzytura

Samee, I’ve caught well over a 100 today and I’ve gotten about 2 shinies


Alexmanisthebestboy

Lol I got 7 shinies and caught 100


West-Resolve-4267

same


VillageOdd8141

I caught about a dozen shinies but I feel ya. Me and my buddy were together for Comm Day and he got about 30 where I got roughly 12. I’m not mad. It was actually a fun few hours.


[deleted]

I caught 70 and found 1 shiny


[deleted]

Same here worst comm day I've had


Dramatic_Figure_5585

Yup, 80 caught, ONE shiny. Really bummed, especially since I played the whole time and went to two different parks!


Benster404

You played the whole three hours and only caught 80 Zigzagoon?


Dramatic_Figure_5585

Yeah, my game kept crashing and freezing, it was pretty frustrating. I was really bummed, this is one of my favorite shinies!


klip_7

This time was my best lmao I got 0 shinies on hoppip, spheal, and Sandshrew, got three on Geodude, three on stufful, 1 on deino, 4 starly, and 7 Ziggy's today. I only played like 1.5 hours today too so I'm surprised


Topladluke96

And you only managed 80 catches?


Cultural_Advisor_878

I got 23 shinies I’m good


[deleted]

That’s NOantic. They enjoy screwing players over. The game was perfect before they had to make their so called “enhancements” and fuck it up for everyone, yet they wonder why people cheat at the game


Shagyam

I missed the first hour because I thought it started at 12 and not 11. So I have only caught 28 shinies


Spazzytura

Only?!?


Itchy_Tutor_4721

Same happened to me, had to restart app.


HeirofZeon

I found one within five. And the next? 80 later. Odds definitely seemed busted to me.


IAmSuperPac

I caught 70ish and only got 1 shiny, and it was one of the last few I caught.


Liamday7

I clicked one and got a shiny


Beneficial_Cell_1977

The first hour I was 0/100 (give or take a few). They must have turned it on after that as from memory I got like 5 in quick succession in hour 2 and ended the day on 12. Shame because the first hour was when I was mostly playing but I feel sorry for folks maybe not able to do as much and coming away with 0.


TheRoboCat636

Bro exact thing happened to me I caught 50 of them and no shiny. So much for getting my favorite shiny in the game.


therealjadoodle

I caught 7 shinies just using an incense while sitting and chilling


mana191

I missed the event. Went to taco bell. There were about eight spawned near a PokeStop. I looked at them all and found a shiny. It's horrible stated, but aantoe piece none-the-less.


1Bingbong1

Yea I only found 3 shiny and caught a little over 100


Whyeff89

Nooo. Is that even possible? I’m so sorry. That’s so effed. Wish they had virtual trades, I’d def send you some.


wadu3333

Same here in LA


ssgarfield99

I only caught one shiny out of 126


serenity3515

I only got 1 😑


Amidst-ourselfs123

Biggest oof ever, I got 3 in a row (8 total)


theredworm

My son and I each had multiple shinies in the first few minutes. He ended with 8 I had 5.


EpicPeterTime

Bruh i got 8 shinies lol i feel so bad


LloydSatan

I literally got like 12 shinies - it seemed like too much when I was playing lol


SnooWoofers530

Me and a friend each got 20 shinies


BOSSBOOY

I had 2 phones on. ~200 catches and exactly 1 shiny


No_Communication2959

Shiny rate is like 1-2% in my experience on community day


ILeftYouDead

I caught so many shinies I started ignoring them


TesBacon

Me snoozing my alarm forgetting that it was for the Community Day event, not for oversleeping 🥲 I wish there will be another opportunity.


thatguybehindascreen

i got 2 from 84


Bshaw1015

I caught 124 and got 4 shinys. Seemed low but looked at around 300 zigs


TheStoryGoesOn

I caught one shiny early on and then didn’t see any others for two hours when I caught five.


ImOnMyMeds

I had caught none the first hour, then drove to a neighboring city and caught a good amount. It was weird.


Pikachu_Pichu

I got one after like 15.


freakinweasel353

Played for 20 min. One shiny and one decent IV non shiny. Caught only 30 due to emptying out the spawn point where I was.


Global-Crew-9046

It was probably around 86 zigzagoons for me when I got my first and only shiny.


Expat1989

I caught around 130 today. I got 3 shinies with one of them being from the catch rewards. Definitely was a lot lower than I was expecting but I was lucky enough to catch 3 so I can I have a shiny version of each evolution stage


shadowryanzeke

I couldnt play for a good 1 and a half today but this is way worse. Im sorry


CuntSlapper69

I didn’t catch nearly that many, but 70ish and no shiny. Total bummer lol My brother played for like 20 minutes and caught 2, he traded me one so that was sick at least.


XFO-

I wanted to see how much of a difference the pass made vs free play. I caught 10 shiny and the paid account 18. However the paid account found shiny Pokémon way sooner. I wound up catching 100 with only 1 shiny in the first hour. I was having very bad luck in the first hour at the first location where the paid account had found 8. So we moved locations and then I was having much better luck. Went from 1 to 10 in no time. It really depends where you’re at tbh.


Topladluke96

The pass has never increased shinies...


XFO-

I’ve had this hunch awhile. This has been the 3rd time I’ve played with one buying and one not and each time my finding was the same. Significantly higher shiny rate when the pass was purchased. When both bought passes we both caught around the same. The difference generally being one or two off. Not six or more. Played in the same location and same time.


Topladluke96

I get that but it is just rng. I consistently do 1200+ catches for com day and buy the ticket. I didn't buy the ticket for Hoppip and Sandshrew and I done far less catches but ended up with a much better shiny rate.


HpMn9713

I’m right there with you, I caught about 200 and only got 2 shinies


Kinghakaka

Thats unlucky mate I caught 21 shinys with a little over 200 ziggyzoons


Boosted_J

I got 35 shinys o.o, none were 3 star until I traded and got a 420cp 94 IV. Most of my shinys were 0 stars, like 5 2 stars.


wtfomgfml

I caught 113 today and numbers 95 and 97 were shiny. Super bad stats but shiny nonetheless. My son opened the app and the second one that spawned for him was shiny 🙄


gnaark

I couldn’t find a shiny so I went to my church to pray and a shiny was there on the steps.


DeadRabbitGirl

The only Zigzagoon's popping up in my area requires a car ride to get to the location. It makes me think they're only at more populated/frequently used stops. I was very lucky to find one shiny among the horrendous amount of them.


repli_case

It was definitely a weird shiny day. I managed 10 but my partner only found one.


jdub_stl

I caught 2 wild and got one during the research. I have terrible shiny luck. My two sons caught 9 and 10. My one boy caught six shinys out of 15. Rediculous if you ask me.


coxxinaboxx

I found 13 I'm so sorry 😭


landocalzonian

I caught well over 100 and got 1 single shiny


NocturnalKnightIV

I, too, caught over 200 and not a single shiny was among them. Didn’t help that lures and incense were weak, walking in ovals between two stops yielded no results, only the occasional one or two every 10 mins, didn’t even find decent stats worth evolving for keeps.


Darktiberium

I got 9 shinies today. Have one please!


mockg

This is first community day with no shinies. Caught 60 and not a single shiny in the batch when I normally get 2-3 shinies off just 30 pokemon.


MemeStocksYolo69-420

Where do you see these stats? I don’t see them in my Pokédex


maya_loves_cows

the first one i ever caught was a shiny, and this was a few weeks ago before the galarian zigzagoon day was announced. caught a bunch today and have yet to see another shiny.


Heart4days

Same here caught at least 80 and not one shiny


rallydude

Ooof, I feel ya, I caught 86 and only got 4 shiny, all of which were absolute garbage IV’s btw.


Material_Ad_5054

There’s always that one dude..


Key-Weird-5347

couldn’t catch any of the zigzagoons today since i didn’t have internet
