2030 shiny victini has debuted in raids niantic has now made raid passes more expensive and limited to 3 uses per day and you cannot remote raid victini

IIRC, back in 2016, for the whole 20th anniversary year of Pokemon, Gamefreak just gave away every mythical; one per month, with just a code that anyone can get and not gated by anything (except time). I do hope they have something similar planned for the 30th anniversary, but with shiny mythicals!

[Marklington]

I hate that game freak shinylocks pokemon.

[A-an.]

I have a feeling those unobtainable shiny Mythical will debut in Pokémon Go.

[HeyLookItsFNaFb]

the art of the shiny checkpoint was so damn cute, oh my god. but yeah, i get the feeling a lot of these currently-unobtainable Shinies will be exclusive to GO... especially with the confirmation of Shiny Zacian in GO, which was exclusive to an old distribution prior.

[Raphe]

One of these days I might finally get my hands on a legitimate shiny Diancie... maybe...

[TallonDesu]

Zacian (and probably Zamazenta too) is going to shiny huntable for the first time in PoGo so I unfortunately can see them do the same with Victini

[delphoxhoopa]

I feel the pain of hunting GO shinies. I've always wanted a Shiny Shaynin, so I bought the Limited Research event to unlock it. Turns out you to catch FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY TWO Pokemon in THE FIRST FOUR REGIONS.

As I'm one of the few players that can't drive, to this day its still not completed.

[KaiSpy]

Yeah it can be brutal with Pokémon Go. I bought the Jirachi research when it came it last year, and I'm still on stage 3, trying to find 3 more Keckleon. I've caught 7, had 2 run away, and it sucks

[Soulicide]

y'know how fucked up it is to have victini be your favorite pokemon and its been shiny locked for 14 years

I really don't get why TPC makes it so hard to get shiny mythicals. Like... I managed to get 1 shiny Meltan from GO which was only available for a certain time period, and you needed to use a lure that only lasts 30 minutes and needed a few days to recharge before you could use it again. I got the shiny Mew and Shaymin (no Jirachi yet) from the masterwork quest. I ended up buying a cheap Japanese Emerald to RNG another Mew. Then, I played through the copy of Crystal on the VC to unlock the Celebi which took 4450 soft resets finally sparkle. This is all to say Pokemon GO sucks a whole lot of ass and is somehow more painful and time consuming than buying an old Pokemon copy, beating the game, and then soft resetting or RNGing a shiny.

Of course, I duplicated my shinies just in case.

A month ago, I shiny hunted Deoxys in Emerald using the ACE execution and Pomeg Glitch and in 3.5 days of run away encounters I got it. Also that was the first time I knew about the glitch too.

[katieg]

I, like many others, hate that so much is, either essentially or literally, GO-exclusive. Y'know, the game that knows when you're in a car and secretly makes all PokeStops cease to function because of it, giving a generic error message instead of telling you what you should be doing? Also, God forbid you're broke, or rural, or disabled, or can't leave the house by yourself for whatever reason, or live in an area where walking is very difficult, or you don't have any Gyms nearby, or nobody in your vicinity also plays the game so you have to beg randos online to use their REAL-MONEY ONLY Remote Raid Passes because Raids are impossible to do by yourself.

have been doing the shiny jirachi quest for about 2 years now on pokémon go, not even half way through it. i play casually sure, but 100% should have it by now if the quests weren’t ducking time locked, drives me crazy😊

[venabre]

My problem with Pokémon Go is simple: it is unviable for me to play it where I live

I did use to play it sporadically a few years back, but eventually I got to a point where I capped on the pokemon I could have and the items I can have on my bag. And with no gyms or stops or, well, anything nearby I can't get the currency needed to upgrade them. So the game is literally unplayable unless I pay. And why on earth would I pay for a game I can't play?

[GrumpyMe]

Thank the lord that 4th page of celebi research is the last 21 day wait! That page 5 is going to be a breeze 😎

[andreagelsomino]

I don't know how or why, but I'm pretty sure that in my copy of pokemon Sword I have a shiny Victini and I remember that because I noticed that two of the three Victini I have on it have illegal moves, like the one that are technically exclusive to Zekcrom and Kyurem, but the third one is from an event and is legit

[PurpIe.Potato]

I guess I’m lucky I did the original shiny Celebi research cause it was free and I don’t remember it being that hard lol

[dany_fg]

I never used real money in pokemon go and I'm not a hardcore player (I mostly play for specific events), but I did play since 2016 and what I got in terms of mythicals is:
- mew (free event)
- Celebi (free event)
- shiny Celebi (free event)
- Jirachi (free event)
- shiny Deoxys (raid)
- Shaymin (free event)
- 4 Genesect (raid)
- Victini (free event)
- Hoopa (free event)
- Zarude (free event)
- lots of shiny and regular Meltan and Melmetal

total shiny (not including meltan line): 2
