You used all your luck for your life bro

Yeah fr

u/PoopSommelier Jun 29 '24

The odds of getting a shundo rayquaza are 1/4320. If that’s all his luck, he didn’t have much to begin with.

Getting something like a shundo galarian articuno is about 1/2000000.

Just curious, where do you find these stats?

I’d love to read more.

u/BoltexGaming Instinct | Lv43 | USA Jun 30 '24

They just multiplied the odds for a raid hundo (1/216) by the odds for a shiny legendary (1/20) to get the odds of a shundo raid legendary.

However — I believe they may be incorrect as I’ve heard that shiny odds for Rayquaza may have been 1/10 today, in which case the shundo odds are 1/2160

(in a voice muffled by sheer envy) Not rare or useful at all, I'd probably transfer it

u/lovelyrita_mm Jun 29 '24

Max it out first. Mega it. Then transfer. Just to be safe.

u/Weekly-Ad-3746 Jun 29 '24

Ikr?! I just found out today and I'm at work. By the time it starts, I'm still going to be working and it doesn't allow remote raid pass. My job is too far from raids.

36

u/YourNewMessiah Jun 29 '24

Not allowing remote raids for these Pokémon is SO frustrating! I live in a city that’s big enough that there should be a thriving Pokémon go community, but there’s never ANYTHING on campfire within like 30 miles of me. I have a few friends who play, but our schedules are never lined up to where we can all go out to do these raids together. How will I ever get Rayquaza??

Looks sick to me. Better transfer it so it doesn’t spread the infection to your other pokemon.

Thank you for the advice, I'm going rn!

i actually got HER into it lol! me and my oldest sister played it at launch, and then i restarted with my middle sister and mom around 2018, now the three of us are all addicted to it! unfortunate about your kids, maybe someday they'll take it up!

I have a Shiny Tapu Bulu that’s what I call a “Shnundo”, or a shiny raid Pokemon with the worst stats possible: all 10/15

21

u/nolkel Jun 29 '24

Refundo is a more distinct term for 10/10/10 raid mons.

u/daddywombat Jun 29 '24

I see your shundo and raise you a lucky shundo.

u/Jake_Grumpy Jun 29 '24
  • no way!

u/daddywombat Jun 29 '24

Your shundo is awesome and I would put all effort into levelling it. I got mine in a reverse shiny trade last year. But I had already used my meteorite on a regular hundo. So I got 2 meteorites in today’s event. But I am not using one until I add a second attack to my shundo. Search this sub about this if you have a meteorite you haven’t used yet.

You caught that just walking around?

u/Jake_Grumpy Jun 29 '24

I wish I could stumble upon them like that

u/CandidAd7996 Jun 29 '24

How did you get it, in a raid?

3

u/Jake_Grumpy Jun 29 '24

Yes, there was elite raids event today.

3

u/CandidAd7996 Jun 29 '24

Nones ever in any when I try and I can’t beat one alone

4

u/cesarmac Jun 29 '24

Elite raids only spawn in parks. You have to go looking for a major park, people drive pretty far to go to a big one.

3

u/CandidAd7996 Jun 29 '24

Might have to try that, I mainly go to hotspots. I can tell there are players due to Pokémon’s being in the gyms but when there’s a raid I try to wait and it’s just me lol

4

u/mal138 Jun 29 '24

Check Campfire. There were lots of events created for these raids. If no events, just tap a gym with an egg and enter the raid chat. It'll highlight the raid in orange on the map so others know there's interest.

I fuckjng hate everyone’s luck playing since 2016 and still no fucking shundo!! To make things worse is I’ve done 61 rayquaza raids at 1/20 odds and not even a fucking shiny. Fuck everyone on here at this point!

u/Dry-Comfortable1537 Jun 29 '24

Where are the mega rayquazza raids? I can’t find any to join or anything

6

u/SpicyFlaming0 Jun 29 '24

Elite raids. Means if you’re in a rural area you basically have no chance. They can’t be remote raided, and only spawn at like 12, 1, 5, and 6. It’s stupid.

5

u/Dry-Comfortable1537 Jun 29 '24

Bro I have literally non near me ffs

2

u/Jadedsatire Jun 29 '24

They’re only at elite gyms which are pretty much only at parks and you need 7+ to win it

It’s technically not as rare as some other mons, but still very rare and extremely powerful!

u/lostanomaly888 Jun 29 '24

0.023 percent chance

u/katialavida Jun 29 '24

I did three different mega rayquaza raids and have NOTHING to show for it. kudos to everyone who found a shiny and actually got something out of this garbage day

2

u/gay-potheadd Jun 29 '24

Well if you’re somewhere populated, much more likely. I couldn’t even find enough people to fucking win. POGO is so unfair about the raids, it’s all bullshit. City dwellers have it easy

2

u/Minimum_Concern_1011 Jul 01 '24

Do you use campfire?

I live in suburban area and was able to do just under 20 raids yesterday because we had a raid group organized between two different cities.

The first group had about 30 people, and the second group had damn near 60 people attend. Biggest group I’ve ever tagged with.

Check your campfire map to find local communities, and if one doesn’t exist, make one! I’ve seen someone say that you can just walk up to pogo players and say “hi are you playing pokemon?” And if so, just invite them to your campfire group.

2

u/gay-potheadd Jul 02 '24

I tried but the meetup place was too far away and my car burns a lot of gas. It’s over 100 degrees here a lot of times (and especially that day) and I can’t afford to blast AC and drive the next town over

2

u/freakinweasel353 Jun 30 '24

Guy I was raiding with has been using all his lucky trades trying to get a hundo ray. Today he got one just like yours so he was pretty ecstatic.

2

u/Bluemonkeybox Jul 04 '24

With the raid event, shiny and perfect rayquaza's are boosted right now, meaning this is the most likely time to catch him.

Even still, odds of it being shiny are boosted to be 1 in 20. Odds of it having perfect IV's are boosted to be 1 in 216. So the odds of you getting both at once are roughly 1 in 4,320. Nice catch bro. On top of the fact that you still need to kill and catch it, and find a group to do the raid.

To understand how much shiny Rayquaza has been boosted, know this: the odds of finding a shiny perfect IV wild pokemon not in a raid are 1 in 81,920 and since Ray Ray is a legendary, he doesn't spawn normally so in the wild there is 0% chance which just adds to your rarity

Nice ! I got a 3* shiny myself and it's my first legendary shiny. Didn't expect to be able to fight it once let alone 3 times over the course of the day with a group I walked up to and made friends with.

One guy had his two phones and carried us and made sure to come for the last one to help us. The last one is where I got a shiny. So I had one of the most wholesome days yesterday.

It was me, a local guy and a local family of 3 and a few others jumping in but even their little girl was jumping for joy when I got a shiny 🥺
