Seen 2588, caught 1577 and NO SHINY. Niantic is this a joke?!

Has the shiny been available in game for all 2588 seen?

The shiny hasn’t been available until recently, so this is not accurate.

This is me but with Yungoos, I’ve caught so many and want a shiny so bad.

It’s RNG.. Niantic is not there deciding if you deserve a shiny or not.

I’ve also see hundreds of these in this event alone and still not a single shiny. I was thinking that in spotlight hour FOR SURE I would find one, but nope, a full hour of walking and nothing.
Ah well, I tell myself that if I had every single shiny then I wouldn’t find the game as fun, so this keeps it interesting.
Hope you find yours!

Give your auto catcher a rest.
GoldenKane01
My thoughts exactly. I’ve been playing since the start of the event and only caught ONE shiny. And it was a Registeel
lookatallthosetoes
I’ve literally caught 2 in the wild not on spotlight hour

Got a 10cp shiny today.

These numbers mean nothing without context of how many you saw before the shiny was available

Do you know how statistics and odds work? There’s never a guarantee and it’s not Niantic’s fault you have bad luck…

Literally just caught this shiny minutes ago and I’ve seen/caught less than a hundred total. RNG can be a fickle beast.

I guess the odds in GO are supposed better than the 1/4906 from the real games?
Adventurous_Grand125
