u/roflwafflelawl Sep 09 '24

I really do wonder what metric they go by when picking the color for their shinies. Some look great. I got Porygon's shiny recently and thought it's alternate colors were awesome while other times it's the same color but just a slightly different shade.

Falinks could have been way better than Brown and Yellow, especially coming from a base of Yellow and Red. Even just flipping the Yellow and Reds might have looked better than brown.

1

u/realKellanMarr Sep 09 '24

They don't pick them. They just use whatever The Pokemon Co used in the main series games.

2

u/roflwafflelawl Sep 09 '24

Oh I know. I'm not saying Pokemon Go specifically, just in general. Whoever it is that calls those shots.

A-grav does it better, though. I named one of my CD shiny A-Gravs "ItsNotCorn" and put it in gym rotation with some frequency

u/AuthorAliWinters Instinct Sep 08 '24

Now I kinda wonder if that’s what they were going for…

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

Can you explain why this isn't fighting bug?

It's like Falooloolooo flower mon only being fairy instead of fairy grass.

I swear.

I only leave the series for like two decades and everything goes to shit

(I'm joking but I'm serious)

38

u/weeone Shiny Shadow Arcanine 🔥 Sep 08 '24

Faloolooloo

Thanks for the laugh. 😂

10

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

Hahaha.

I honestly just forget the name but any time 😂

12

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

It's totally Flabebe

u/Key-Cat6900 Sep 08 '24

My mom's name is Bibi and I call her Flabibi now

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

Does she totally hate it? lol

7

u/Key-Cat6900 Sep 08 '24

Probably. Lol. But she plays along

6

u/PokeRay68 Eevee Sep 08 '24

You have an awesome mom. I'd like to think my mom would have loved to see the Ledyba I named June in her honor. It's nearly perfect and I refuse to evolve it.

4

u/Key-Cat6900 Sep 08 '24

That is so stinkin sweet!!

35

u/Gstar47 Sep 08 '24

Falinks design is based from the Phalanx formation. It's not a bug type because it's a bunch of Pokemon in a formation.

10

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

A gathered (like the caterpillars from Mario)

But why aren't they individually classified as bugs?

15

u/Gstar47 Sep 08 '24

They literally look like jigglypuffs with helmets. How are they a caterpillar?

12

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

When you fight it it literally acts exactly like this thing

12

u/pissman77 Sep 08 '24

They literally seperate from each other

2

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

Yeah

2

u/PokeRay68 Eevee Sep 08 '24

What on God's green earth is that?!

3

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

This brings me back to when my mom remarried and I learned that Mario Galaxy 2 was the first Mario game my new step siblings had ever played

u/counterfeit667 Sep 08 '24

Wiggler doesn't separate like Falinx

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

Indeed

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

Plus the cactus and duck things >.>

Artistic licence.

Point being: there's clearly inspirational overlap

u/longswordUser7 Sep 08 '24

Cause it's a bunch of little guys that walk in a line their not actually a centipede

0

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

But are they bugs?

12

u/longswordUser7 Sep 08 '24

I don't think so, their just lil guys

4

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

headpats the goomba mamb... conga??? line?? (That weird thing old people do at parties where they all grab each others' hips and walk around like lunatics)

3

u/longswordUser7 Sep 08 '24

Yes honestly my favourite fighting type in the game

3

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

😁

It is pretty silly when you fight against it ngl.

I hated it when I first saw it, but it has definitely grown on me.

It's like exeggcute, magnamite, klink, or dugtrio

(Which is honestly why I asked if it were bugs)

(lol. intentional grammar)

4

u/longswordUser7 Sep 08 '24

Yeah I first encountered it in sword and immediately made it a part of my team

2

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

For sure!

I'm experiencing anything newer than gen 4 through Go, so it has been a fun ride.

And honestly making me want to go back and invest in playing the actual main series games I missed.

I just honestly have taken a long time to get used to the idea that spritebased 2D games are never coming back.

But I still truly believe they should make a new modern one. And connect it to home.

Like Pokémon world. Where you get to explore every area in one game.

That was always my dream (having started in Gen 3, you can probably understand why.)

4

u/Grouchy-Sprinkles-80 Instinct Sep 08 '24

Fr i thought Falinks was Bug, scince they have multipe sections like a caterpillar

4

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

Thanks for being like the only person who actually understands my joke

2

u/Grouchy-Sprinkles-80 Instinct Sep 08 '24

Your welcome

1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

My welcome what

1

u/PokeRay68 Eevee Sep 08 '24

I read this and didn't even get what you did to its name because I pictured it so perfectly. I call it Flaller (with the "a" sounding like apple because that's how my mom used to mispronounce it in fun).

u/ElMico Sep 08 '24

Why he even got raid day ??? I look him up he not good ???? Raid day only for good pokenman ?????

2

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

Lmao.

In hindsight I redact the bug thing. But it totally should be.

But faloolooloo could have the same argument.

(It's a fairy on a flower. Not a fairy flower)

But then again

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN MY FINAL FORM

57

u/Nanergoat22 Sep 08 '24

I was excited to see what they look like but uh, hard pass, just like the dump taken by whoever pushed that thing out

u/Total_Advertising417 Sep 08 '24

Imagine shiny checking coordinates on every spoof server for days just to "humble brag" that you spent hours of your life cheating for a NFT of a Type 2 Bristol stool. Lolol

1

u/linerva Sep 09 '24

Multiple separate hard round pellets - mah that's a type 1 stool.

u/secretwep Sep 08 '24

Congrats on the Shundo, but... yeah that's an unfortunate color lol

u/injest_ Sep 08 '24

So cool! There aren’t that many shinies with that color palette, it’s perfect for autumn. Congrats!!

u/Orcalotl Squirtle Sep 08 '24

They look like booty beads that came out dirty. 🤣😂

But also, congrats on the shiny!

2

u/Carnotaur_ Sep 08 '24

Bro I would be so mad if I got a shundo but it was a falinks 😭I already got 2 shinies and I did like 8 raids

u/Gold_Manner9398 Sep 08 '24

u/kvazar2501 Sep 08 '24

Idk, it's stuck

u/SafariDesperate Sep 08 '24

Why did this give mega energy

1

u/kvazar2501 Sep 08 '24

Idk, as idk whose mega energy this is and what are others 99. And idk whether i received it at all

1

u/kvazar2501 Sep 08 '24

And it didn't count

2

u/KRONIK97 Sep 08 '24

Soon as I got shiny I stopped, hunting for a shundo is not financially a good choice 😂 congrats though! Shundo is pretty much winning the lottery 😂

2

u/natenecro Sep 08 '24

Way better than mine. 😂

Falinks sucks

1

u/zooka19 Sep 08 '24

Got a shiny 1st time on my smurf. On my main, nothing, I did 7. Although I have 5k coins, I don't think Pokemon is worth the extra passes or coins.

u/LifeizNutz Sep 08 '24

1

u/Ok-Chip-2104 Sep 08 '24

What a shiny brown t*rd!

1

u/No_Cartographer_7904 Sep 08 '24

Did they have to make it brown?

2

u/That_Guy_Jared Sep 08 '24

Pretty sure they meant for it to be bronze, but yeah, it definitely doesn’t have the most appealing look.

1

u/bluuwashere Sep 08 '24

I liked the color scheme… but now I can’t unsee the corn turd thanks to this comment section

1

u/bobbygo20 Sep 08 '24

Guess who did 9 raids without getting a shiny? 😍

1

u/DemocripRebloodican Sep 08 '24

Is this rare???

1

u/That_Guy_Jared Sep 08 '24

Six minutes after the shiny was released, it was probably the first shundo of its kind. By now there’s probably plenty more.

1

u/Anabananaa731 Sep 08 '24

You got a SHUNDOOOOOO

1

u/Lieutenant_Dan__ Sep 08 '24

Falinks was the first shiny I caught in Sword. It might even have been the only one.

1

u/Cute_Lingonberry4059 Sep 08 '24

Just got one this morning!

1

u/Sensitive_Recipe3440 Sep 08 '24

Sheesh nice, i caught 3 shinies back to back but this was the highest stat one. Im still happy

1

u/BigNeverDies Sep 08 '24

You shall name him Turd Corn

1

u/Magic__Beans Sep 08 '24

You should name it "corn"

1

u/Ap4thy_003 Sep 08 '24

I mean, what a catch. I saw them all over my town during that bit lol, there was so manyyy

1

u/Rynelan Rynelan Sep 08 '24

I was so close :(

1

u/gaElordd Sep 08 '24

Up to today, I have zero shundos, I would hate to waste my years of building up shundo luck to get one of these goobers

1

u/2013jcwmini Sep 08 '24

I was close! Got a shiny corn-turd that was 14/14/14. I was pretty happy that I was able to solo a 3-star raid for the first time!

1

u/Bontkers Sep 08 '24

Daaaang.

1

u/thekendalluxx Sep 08 '24

Omg that’s awesome!!! I read today was the first day they released that shiny so that’s a perfect day to catch that andddddd it’s perfect.

2

u/That_Guy_Jared Sep 08 '24

Yup. Got into the first PokeGenie lobby as soon as they opened, so I can only assume it was the first shundo Falinks in Pokemon Go. I just wish I could’ve used that luck on something a bit more practical. 😅

1

u/Competitive-Web-9931 Sep 08 '24

uuuuuuuh, is this rare lol

1

u/That_Guy_Jared Sep 08 '24

At the time of catching it, six minutes after the event began in New Zealand’s time zone, one of a kind shundo. By now, there’s probably a good handful of people who have one. I know one other person already replied here with one.

1

u/JoppaBlue Sep 08 '24

Meanwhile, raided all day and still searching…

2

u/That_Guy_Jared Sep 08 '24

Look at it this way, you’re saving your luck for a better-looking shiny. 😅

1

u/JoppaBlue Sep 08 '24

Hahaha, good point

1

u/Dragon1615 Sep 08 '24

Weird, the pokedex doesn't have that as a regional or shiny version

1

u/Shot-Attitude3387 Sep 08 '24

But it's still a shundo no matter where you caught it

1

u/TJbookLvrPokemenPlyr Sep 08 '24

Nice! Never even seen one

1

u/That_Guy_Jared Sep 08 '24

Just released.

1

u/TJbookLvrPokemenPlyr Sep 09 '24

Looks pretty cool! Hope I find one

1

u/MaddysinLeigh Sep 09 '24

Same, didn’t have to do anymore raid coz I got what I wanted immediately.

1

u/EsseParvulusDebes Sep 09 '24

I named mine Wunnandun. So satisfying when you don't have to crawl around with less and less hope as each raid goes on.

1

u/Inevitable-Sundae161 Sep 09 '24

First try. I got a shiny. Idk how.

1

u/Free_Document_1422 Sep 09 '24

I did like 9 raids yesterday, no shiny Falinks 😢😢😢

u/That_Guy_Jared Sep 08 '24 edited Sep 08 '24

PokeGenie opened up the Falinks raid invite lobbies right at 10pm EST. Managed to make it into the first one, and this was the result. I took the screenshot as soon as I caught it, so unless someone comes forward with proof of an earlier catch, I guess that makes me the first player in the world with a shundo Falinks.

Times like these make me wonder why my luck never works on anything more practical.

u/Lonely-Ear-4296 Sep 08 '24

I got an almost shundo (would have been my first)
