An IRL group of Pokémon Go players couldn’t believe their luck when they all came together and captured four shiny Pokémon in a single Raid.
Pokémon Go Raids have proven to be a key part of the mobile pocket monster game since their first introduction.
Every month, Niantic changes Raids and their bosses to keep the game interesting for players. This includes adding a new set of Pokémon ranging from 1-star to 5-star legendaries for players to battle and capture.
Completing one of these 5-star Raids can be a difficult task. However, for these four players who came together in real life to take on the Raid challenge, they defied the odds and all managed to capture a shiny for themselves.
Pokémon Go players get an incredible shiny catch after a Raid
Pokémon player meenu1216 revealed that he and his IRL friends captured: “4 shiny Palkia in one raid!” While they showed off all the shinies they had captured in a group photo.
Among the best of the lot, there was even a Palkia shiny Shundo, which had 2958 CP. Other trainers were happy to praise this remarkable catch and express their jealousy, as many admitted they had not had the same success.
Various players responded: “Congratulations! Especially to the person with 2958 PC.” Others added: “Thanks for making everyone hate you and your friends,” and “So that’s where all the RNG went.”
Some just felt bad for the person taking the photo: “It must have hurt to be the one holding the camera.”
Taking shiny also triggered some reactions among Pokémon Go players, who remembered their bad luck when attempting the same Raids. “I honestly want to forget this event ever happened. Good for some… bad for many others from the comment sections I’ve seen,” one player replied.
A trainer explained how “we were 8 friends playing together for hours on Saturday and no shiny on any legendary for us.”
Palkia’s Origin Form and normal Palkia have become 5-star Raid Bosses in the Pokémon Go Sinnoh Circuit event.
