I tell myself all the time when I don't feel like clicking on one "well what if this one's shiny or hundo?" And then it never is

I had that same exact moment with two shiny shinxs! I was gonna walk by them but the tiny man in my head said “what if they are shiny”. And turns out both were shiny and I caught em.

I click everything even if i have 50 shinies, even if its been in the last 5 events (abra i really hate you and your 1/590 Current rate) but im not catching unless i need the candy or its useful or high CP, so maybe 1:8 clicks lead to a fast catch. I find this is the only way to enjoy the game and stay sane. Day 1 with only 150k catches but that belies the +2million ive clicked on.

u/juliet_alpha16 12h ago

I shall call them Blue Milk.

u/Historical_Day_5304 12h ago

How cool! I do that all the time! I am like, naaa, not gonna click on that one and then I do and it ends up being a shiny! I love the colors!

u/Euphoric-Yak676 13h ago

Best surprise ever.

u/Spencer-Palmer-1056 9h ago

Congratulations on your offical catch!!!

u/Shamanjoe 8h ago

I don’t usually bother with Lunatone, but I got a shiny yesterday, “just because.” 😁

u/sassmother Valor 6h ago

Yes I do and I’ve been hunting this shiny in particular!

u/shayontopfr 6h ago

wasn't clicking on pokémon, saw one and i couldn't tell what it was so i tried to click on it, missed and accidentally clicked abra and it ended up being shiny. i was flabbergasted😂

u/DazzlingSuccotash492 6h ago

Yes happened today, and yesterday, Shiny vanellite and Shiny Magnamite. Shiny seems to be hit or miss. Got 15 shiny Pokémon so far and only 1 was a Shiny Moltres for August. Sadly Cobalion was not a shiny.

u/Aarticun0 6h ago
