Just had some really random luck in Shield. Found a Shedinja raid, that turned out to be a shiny one! Caught it too.

I don't think it was them.

It's IVs aren't good. Just its Sp.Def, Hp, Atk and Def are good.

I don't mind either way, given how hard it is to get into a Shedinja raid. They're either locked or they fill up fast.

Talk about extreme luck. Not only was I invited to a decently sized Latios raid, but I encountered a green Latios. And I actually caught it in one go. Even ignoring its shininess, this is the luckiest I have ever been in legendary raids

Shiny Legendaries for Raids are automatically catches so long as you hit the target. Throw a Pinap Bery and collect the easy berries.

So I got into a shiny MIlcery raid, and the host kept using Bulldoze to knock us out.

Jokes on them, I caught it anyway. :cool:
That's good, glad you were able to get it. Shame on them for doing that.

2 more shinies from raids - Tyrantrum and Audino :)

I still feel kind of weird about shinies I obtain in raids. I’m like 99.9% sure they’re legitimate; they’re not from password locked raids and the OT doesn’t have .com in their name. But I don’t want to accidentally give anyone a hack either.

What makes you think it was hacked?

If it's from a raid, then those have already shown up.
If it's from a trade, then someone might have had an extra.

My hunt for a shiny Litten just came to an end. This bad boy just hatched today.

I mean, they're probably not hacks. Just den manipulation.

Along with a repeat Bronzor and Weedle this week in Pokemon Go, I finally got my first Spotlight Hour shiny with Luvdisc, also my first shiny Luvdisc in the game. ^_^ I can't wait for the new Kanto shinies coming up and the Fletchling community day.

Got 2 shinies today: a shiny Articuno via the GTS and a shiny Horsea via Pokemon Go. All in all, a pretty nice day. :)

Q: If you switch Dynamax Adventure raid types, will that still count toward your 1/100 shiny odds? I caught a bunch of things in Solgaleo raids (significantly easier) to bring up my catch count in Xerneas raids, but when I went back to Xerneas raids, I still haven’t found a shiny.

It's not a once every 100 raids you get a shiny. Each individual shiny has a 1/100 chance of being a shiny.

Someone told me the shiny odds were “fixed”. I presumed that meant that every time you caught 100 mons, the hundredth would be shiny. Am I wrong, then?

Why is Latios in Alpha Sapphire so resistant. I have the shiny charm, but i'm way over 7000+ encounters or runaways and he is still not shiny T.T
Maybe I should do soft resets instead. Or maybe I'm just really unlucky on this one :oops:
