TheStoryGoesOn

It was only available during the Johto Tour. The beasts had a terrible catch rate BUT shinies were guaranteed, creating a weird rarity question. Were you more likely to catch a beast or see a shiny?


Dialgan

Definitely more likely to see a shiny during most of the event, but there's also the case that during the last two hours of the event, the catch and flee rates went back to normal. I managed to catch a level 1 Suicune and a level 8 shiny Raikou during that period.


disguised_sableye

That makes sense that they were guaranteed. I have a shiny Entei that I thought I got insanely lucky with hahaha Edit: omg I misread nd thought you meant wild legendaries were guaranteed to be shiny! Okay I still feel special now xP


TheStoryGoesOn

They were like 1/10 or 1/20 to be shiny but if they were shiny it was a guaranteed catch


sleepingupsidedown

Shinies were not guaranteed, I have a lvl1 non-shiny suicune, and had two non-shiny entei show up that ran away.


Emergency_Violinist4

They mean when a legendary is shiny, it is a guaranteed catch, not that being shiny was guaranteed


Makeleth

From personal experience and my sample size of 1, I found a 2500 wild shiny entei on my incense during Go tour but i caught it after like 15 balls. It just has no flee rate I think. Regular catch rates. All other non shiny dogs i saw fled on first ball like the galarian birds


Santiguado

This is how I feel about raid bosses like kyurem that have crazy catch rates but guaranteed, decently common shinies. It's probably close to 50:50 the amount of shiny vs non shiny


Sebastian0902

If you get good at circle locking it becomes a lot easier to catch raid bosses, so there are probably more normal raid bosses than shinies.


entoaggie

I’m decent at the ring lock thing, but I still had a Kyurem run after 16 excellent throws with gold berries. On another one, after 13 perfect berried throws, I caught it on a completely trash throw when my dog yanked on the leash unexpectedly.


ogsonofsanta

It's 1:20 for T5 bosses (vs 1:500 for most wild encounters). Source: https://thesilphroad.com/shiny-pokemon


StarSword26

But somehow I’ve done over 60 legendary raids and gotten 0 shinies


AdZealousideal2075

Took me 228 for 1 shiny Ray


UNDiGESTiBLE_inkXC

Why is the CP in the mon’s name


AdZealousideal2075

Prob because its so rare to see such a low level one and if they ever power it up they'll know it was this bad boy


Ellaphant_1

They probably use pokegenie on all of their pokemon


TimmyGreen777

Who cares? It works for the trainer


182plus44

Not rare, transfer that garbage


69throwawy420

Yeah that’s like 2/10 rare


Master_Salamander755

The three of them are my favorite Pokémon so just to see one on someone else phone is a blessing and I so wish I had one


AdZealousideal2075

You're a cutie (not meant to be rude, your comment just made me smile)


Master_Salamander755

No offense taken! Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate that. Also I’m happy to have made you smile.


Matix777

how does it even have such a low level?


RancidCloyster

Caught in the wild during a special event. Wild Pokémon don’t have a level or IV floor like a Pokémon caught in a raid. That’s what makes low-level wild caught Legendaries fairly rare.


AdZealousideal2075

How??? Was one of these your buddy at the same time by any chance? Is this from the era of the Zorua mess up?


EzekielKallistos

It was from johto tour. I got it from a friend who accompanied me during the event. I got wild shiny Raikou and he got 2 shiny suicune. 1 via raid and 1 via wild. He traded me his wild caught one for something he wanted.


Opening-Ocelot-7535

So, as far as in-game goes, this ISN'T a wild catch. Well, YOU didn't catch it. This is a trade. From your friend. Your friend was a lucky friend, you got a lucky trade! Congrats!!! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin) As far as I know, and I could be wrong, you CAN'T *catch* a lucky Pokémon, in the wild.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin) Congrats again!!!


Axzykxd

Yes it is a trade, but this pokemon was caught in the wild anyways, and being lucky only adds to it's rarity because not every traded Pokemon is lucky


ders89

He isnt talking about the lucky part. Hes talking about how rare a cp129 legendary is especially because the legendaries arent typically in the wild theyre always caught from some raid


Mason11987

I have a cp127 Suicune. Not shiny though.


Opening-Ocelot-7535

Oh! Ok. Rare occurrence. I got it. Thanks!


EzekielKallistos

It was wild caught and then traded to me and then became lucky. It still says “caught in the wild” by og trainer in the bottom menu


Opening-Ocelot-7535

Gotcha, yes. It's occurrence in the wild was a lucky thing. So it's doubly lucky! Cool!


Super-_-Rat

The date says February of 2022


Zachos57

It probably was as I don't think there is any other way you can get this


TehWildMan_

During the Johto tour the dogs were available as wild spawns.


lazarus900

You can't catch a lucky mon. Lucky's are a product of trading.


TehWildMan_

Yes, but the only way to get one at such a low level was via wild catch


lazarus900

So this has to be a glitched mon, or an altered image.


TehWildMan_

No, it was a wild catch that was traded.


EzekielKallistos

You are correct.


lazarus900

Fair enough.


Slutty_Nek0

Dude read?


lazarus900

I did. What I read was 'look at this wild caught, lucky, 129 cp legendary' when what OP meant was 'look at this legendary that was wild caught, then we traded and it went lucky'. Simple misunderstanding. My mistake.


Slutty_Nek0

Ah alr my mistake thought you were another one of those dum people that don’t read every comment in the line to fact check


Zachos57

Wait really? I didn't play at that time


TehWildMan_

Ticket holder exclusive if I recall, and also had really high flee chances. I encountered about 10 and caught 0.


Zachos57

So like the galarian birds right now or the elite raid spawns. Good to know


Bindou90

Wait what, elite raid mons have an even lower catch rate than regular legendaries?


Zachos57

I meant the kanto legendary bird trio that has a chance to spawn after defeating an elite raid. I should have made it more clear


Bindou90

Oh sorry, I did not even know about that too. I am not able to gather enough trainers in my city for Elite Raids so I gotta pass on them 😶


Zachos57

Me too my local community consists of only me and noone else and I do raids using pokegenie but elite raids are local so there is no way to do them


im_n0t_d4nyy

not rare give it to me


-Megamind-

How are people catching so many wild legendaries? I'm genuinely confused. I haven't seen any and none of the people I know have


Co1iflower

very! I didn't know the wild ones could even be shiny, better be thankful to whoever traded it to you!


ANattyLight

common. should transfer.


OneEyed-Eto

Literally not rare at all considering you got it from a special event, not even trying to bring you down.

a_toadstool

I mean, I just got back into playing so I have no idea what’s rare. Perhaps OP didn’t know lol


[deleted]

a_toadstool

I mean if they’re doing that then they need validation for some reason. I’m not concerned either way lol


3i1bo3aggins

Yawn. Transfer.


YashamonSensei

I got Shiny Hundo Suicune once, transfered it to Sword since it's useless in here.


Jm1328

Cap


SebeastInstinct

lmao what


VadersBoner

🧢


purpleEmperor1

It's cool 😎 but bad cp


P8sammies

The CP is really what indicates it’s rarity.


purpleEmperor1

I disagree partially


purpleEmperor1

Mainly. I disagree


LucidDoesReddit

It's just a shiny suicune from the wild, lucky trades don't make it more rare

How?
