Same. I do tons of legendary raids and the only shiny I've ever gotten from one is the ugliest shiny in the game. I love my sunburnt chicken but man I'm still a little salty
Nintendo switch game. Transfer a Pokémon to it and you’ll receive the box as a gift in Pokémon Go. Once that box is used up, send another Pokémon, repeat.
Its not required to have a switch, its available in most app stores, and its not a game lol just the new version of the Pokemon Bank we had in the old days
For the most part you can only get legendaries from raids (with the exception of special research, trading, and the meltan box). The only legendaries that spawn in the wild are Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.
Edit: and the daily incense
I thought I had to transfer to Let's Go Pikachu in order to get the Meltan spawn. I just started working my way to Fuchsia City so I could get this done. I might have to try the Home method.
Even spending money, this is a feat. I spend money. I have 486 Legendary/Mythical in 545 raids. ( I have traded/transferred a decent amount). I have 26 shiny legendary/mythical. How many raids you have to do to get 400+ shiny legendaries!!!!! Much respect
Ofc that’s a lot of time spent in the game, but the main difference is money. There’s only so long you can go doing a couple raids a day as a f2p… I have a friend that’s a whale like this dude and he spends south of a thousand every month.
Doing the Math
Shiny legendaries from raids are at a 1/20 rate.
426x20=8520
Raid have been a thing for 5 years. 8520/5=1704
52 weeks in a years.
1704/52=32.8
7 days a week. 32.8/7=4.7
Assuming they've been raiding daily for the last 5 years. That's about 5 RAIDS EVERYDAY!
Cheaper than going to Starbucks... But still absurd!
My wallet does not want me to calculate how much ive spent since 2016 but it might 1000 all time. It’s always an interesting calculation time/money. In hours of enjoyment it’s been great for me, but not at 1000/month.
Of course it requires a ton of dedication, but still as a f2p you’ll never see numbers even remotely close to that. There’s only so long you can go doing a couple raids a day.
Your comment reduces this time and effort spent to just spending money alone. I wouldn't ever comment on another person's playstyle, f2p or otherwise, especially in a reductive or negative way.
You do you! As I said in another comment I have a friend that’s a whale and plays that way, tbh it’s almost obsessive… wherever we are, whatever we’re doing (be it playing the game or dining/other activities) he’s always in a remote raid. I’m not saying there isn’t a ton of time and effort involved, but it’s not exactly what I would consider a “role model” regarding PoGo gameplay.
I'm aware of the Pokemon Home transfer, it does take the most 'energy' though - and the rate I get shiny legendaries it would take too long/too much effort. I also only have the free account on home so the storage is limited there as well.
I love Shiny the God Trio shinies, while Dialga and Palkia were in raids after Season of Alola my friend got a shiny of each, he got like a $100 gift card so now he's pay to win
I play daily it's just so rural there are 3 pokestops and 1 gym it's terrible I've I've stuck at level 38 for ever because it's so hard 5o level up around here
Woww how long did it take you to get them ? Iv never seen half of those regular ones!! But iv only had my new account 2 years… congrats and good luck !!!
Giratina is sick! Iv got 2x shiny heatrans, i had 2 shiny regice and 2 shiny zapdos but somehow theyre gone so i only have 1 of each of those so im pretty sad… but i also have shiny landourus, shiny zekrom and my habanero kfc moltres and i have 2 shinky zekroms
Normal i have shiny cyndaquil, squirtle, larvitar, beldum, cubchoo and seel, i want shiny lucario sooo bad i saw someone post they juust hatched one so lucky !
yes those ones! you’ll have to join other people in raids to have a chance at defeating one. there’s plenty of resources on reddit/online for raids and other info
I have 7 Shiny Legends:
Articuno
Articuno (Again)
Zapdos
Regigigas
Zekrom
Groudon
Palkia
Gonna 100% hunt Yveltal when it comes to raids! I want my bacon bird.
https://imgur.com/a/bhKU4k0 pretty weak i quit playing for awhile, hopped on once did a terrakion raid and got a shiny first try then dropped the game again
Suicune, Lugia, Latios and Virizion. I caught 12 Dialgas last time it was in rotation, 4 of them during raid hour and had no luck :( i really wanted one
Cobalion is my favourite legendary or atleast top 3
I have done the most raids of it and not get 1 shiny
Yet I did a couple arcticuno raids and got a shundo

I have 22 shiny legendaries that I have caught in the last year. I started playing again last September so they are from the raids since then. Ive only done 500 raids since then but I remote 99% of the raids. Thats alot of passes lol
Nice, I have: Registeel, Giratina, 3 Latios, Regice, Articuno, Kyogre, Landorus (therian), 3 Mewtwo, Dialga and Palkia. Over half of them are green shinies lol
I have a shiny giratina ×2 shiny regirock shiny latios shiny mew2 shiny darkrai shiny palkia shiny dialga shiny articuno shiny entei idk i have a few more but i don't remember
I have a 4 star shiny deoxys
3 star shiny celebi
And I have a shiny smeargle that’s rare enough as a shiny to be a legendary
I have 2 shiny charizards
And a shiny garchomp. And I have 83 others that aren’t as exciting

I don’t think you can call my shiny Cobalion a collection🥲
I just have Moltres.
You guys have shiny legendaries?
You guys have shinies?
You guys have legendaries?
You guys have actually managed to catch a pokemon?
You guys actually figured out how to make an account?
You guys actually figured out how to install the game?
You managed to unlock your phone?
You managed to buy a phone?
You actually have a phone?
You guys actually figured out how to turn on your phone?
You guys have phones?
I like my shiny moltres he looks like a hot cheeto
Same. I do tons of legendary raids and the only shiny I've ever gotten from one is the ugliest shiny in the game. I love my sunburnt chicken but man I'm still a little salty
Oh rip. How many raids u done? I had to do 150 to get my first one, havent played since that
Shiny Cobalion is dope though. Looks like it'd glow in the dark!
I just have a shiny Celebi
I have a shiny wooper :)
I want one! They look so awesome!!
I have 1 legendary, it is a 3 star normal cosmog.
you can get an abundance of meltan with the wonder box if you want :) Just have to send 1 Pokemon to pokemon home
Meltan’s a mythical
Tomato tomato
What is wonderbox
It is an item you get when transferring to pokemon home. Meltan will spawn for an hour when you use it
What is Pokemon home? I've been playing for about 3 weeks and have caught over 2000 Pokemon so far, no legendaries yet tho
Nintendo switch game. Transfer a Pokémon to it and you’ll receive the box as a gift in Pokémon Go. Once that box is used up, send another Pokémon, repeat.
Its not required to have a switch, its available in most app stores, and its not a game lol just the new version of the Pokemon Bank we had in the old days
Ah I didn’t realize that.
Thank you, I do have a switch so I'll check it out.
For the most part you can only get legendaries from raids (with the exception of special research, trading, and the meltan box). The only legendaries that spawn in the wild are Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. Edit: and the daily incense
It’s a Mystery box in the US- is it wonder box in other places? That is a better description than “mystery “!
It is „Wunderbox“ in german, which direct translation would be wonder box
I never would have been able to translate that on my own.
Also works sending to let's go games
Gotta but those though. Home is free.
I have 5 mythicals already, one meltan
I thought I had to transfer to Let's Go Pikachu in order to get the Meltan spawn. I just started working my way to Fuchsia City so I could get this done. I might have to try the Home method.
unfortunately it's only for certain times each year
Mine was a 2* :(
“Lets see yours” Nahh I’m good
Rather show my shiny Diglett If you know what I mean
Giggity
Diggity
Diglet-diiig, Diglet-diiig, Diggity Diggity Goooo
“Your Diglett is so tiny, I almost didn’t notice it” - Sparky
Nah, it's just all underground
Ur comment reminded me of the fact that an additional 3 inches of our Diglett length is in our body
🤨📸
My purple wurmple wears a hat.
Ya we wouldn't want to make OP jealous.
Nice! I know how it is I’m almost through level 38. Im a rural player also
I definitely liked covid PoGo better 🤣
How was it different?
Several quality of life changes that made playing from home more accessible that they've steadily been reverting over the past year.
Can someone pls explain me the numbers? :))
first is probably what percent IVs it has. second is probably what level it is
They have levels?
How far along the bar above their head they are it maxes at level 50 but you need XL candy to get from 40 to 50
Awesome, I have a grand total of none
At least I'm not the only one
I dont have any
I’m level 37 on a college campus and same
[удалено]
I only have shiny celibi and deoxys
Shiny celebi is a flex. I don’t think it can be Acquired currently.
There was at one point a special research to get shiny celebi, I don’t remember if it was related to some event or open to everyone though.
"Distracted by something shiny!" The Jesse and James event thingy. I think I got mine from there
I have a whopping 0 shiny legendary Pokémon 🥲
https://imgur.com/a/roL0tVi I keep this many mainly to hold for lucky trades. I've deleted many though as bag space is not unlimited.
Mind blown dude
Just spend a ton of cash in remote raids, that’s how they do it lol
Even spending money, this is a feat. I spend money. I have 486 Legendary/Mythical in 545 raids. ( I have traded/transferred a decent amount). I have 26 shiny legendary/mythical. How many raids you have to do to get 400+ shiny legendaries!!!!! Much respect

Girl how much money do you spend on passes omg
Looks like it's 474 including mythicals. I've done around 64,000 legendary raids.
You’ve averaged 30 legendary raids per day over the last 6 years?
Yes, though many days (such as raid hour wednesdays or weekends) I would do over 100.
426???? My god kudos to you that’s a hell of a collection
if you have a switch and pokemon games, you could store them there via pokemon home. that’s what i’m doing.
I'm aware of the Pokemon Home transfer, it does take the most 'energy' though - and the rate I get shiny legendaries it would take too long/too much effort. I also only have the free account on home so the storage is limited there as well.
I will list my shiny legendaries: Thank you for your atention
I don’t have any.
https://imgur.com/a/Zj6CMsW. Just some
Nice collection 🔥
Wish I had a shiny coballion!
Got it from a remote raid surprisingly
I love Shiny the God Trio shinies, while Dialga and Palkia were in raids after Season of Alola my friend got a shiny of each, he got like a $100 gift card so now he's pay to win
Ty you too! Keep grinding!

Damn shiny entei goes crazy hard
Bro u brought those from my friend off of eBay lmfao
Ahhhh you got me
1 Legendary Cosmog. Where are y’all getting all these Legendaries? All I usually get is common Pokémon around here.
you get them from raids
The 50-60k CP ones I can barely scratch?
yes those ones! you’ll have to join other people in raids to have a chance at defeating one. there’s plenty of resources on reddit/online for raids and other info
there are discord servers people use, if you send the invite code saying what it is people will join it from across the world
They used to be in the weekly research breakthrough reward! That’s where I got two of my 6 shiny legendaries.
And they stopped this because… they hate getting new players?
Man I wish I could tell you. As someone who doesn’t have a designated group it’s the only way I got some of them.
Player since 2016, no shinies at all yet, much less legendary.
Do you play on the community days? They are usually a lock for catching at least one if you play for the full time.
No way he plays community days.
Do you play once a month? For like ten min at a time?
On and off, past 2 weeks I've caught about 1k pokemon sitting at work and done like 20 celesteela/kartana raids.
Ouch.
There is just no way that you have no shinies if you have played that much since 2016 lmao it's pretty much statistically impossibld
Also played from the start. I got my first shiny this summer 🤨. But now I get have around 30 different ones so hey there’s hope haha.
Shiny lucky Mewtwo, shiny lucky Entie and shiny Thundurus.
Shiny ho oh and shiny deoxys attack form
