Summary
APokemon GOplayer seems to have hit the jackpot by catching an extremely rare shunundo Bagon. While nundos might not be as useful as the much-coveted hundos inPokemon GO, the fact that they are much rarer makes them a prized possession for collectors.
The Community Days are one of the most popular events inPokemon GO, considering that they give players a chance to catch some extremely rare shiny Pokemon. Additionally, it’s also an excellent opportunity to catch shiny variants of 100% IV Pokemon. While many players were quite jealous of anew player catching a shundo Bagon inPokemon GO, it seems like another one has got their hands on an even rarer variant.
In a new post on thePokemon GOsubreddit, user kable12105 showcases a Bagon which left them confused about whether they were lucky or not. The dilemma comes from the fact that the Pokemon in question is a shunundo, which is by far therarest Pokemon inPokemon GOone can catch of a particular species. Although the Pokemon was caught as part of the Community Day, there are several factors that make catching a shunundo extremely rare.
Why Is a Shunundo Rarer Than a Shundo?
Hundos are Pokemon with 100% IV stats, whileshundos is a term given byPokemon GOplayersto hundos which are shiny. Nundos are on the opposite end of the spectrum, having IV stats which are the least possible. That is, they have 0 out of 15 for each of the stats. When they are shiny, they are called shunundos.
If players compare the odds of getting a nundo and a hundo in the wild, that’s pretty much the same, standing at 1/4096. However, there are several factors in play that significantly increase the odds of getting a hundo. For instance,Pokemon GO’s weather boostsimprove the odds by four, while non-wild encounters such as raids, eggs, and others drastically increase it by almost 20 fold. Not to forget, lucky trades boost it even further. On the other hand, nundos can only be found in the wild. This means that a shunundo caught on a regular day has mind-boggling odds of 1 in almost 2 million.
While Community Day improves the chances a bit with the shiny rate boosts, several fans still urged the player to keep it as a trophy. Many highlighted the fact that they have never been able to catch a shundo, let alone a shunundo. One player even stated that they prefer collecting nundos over hundos. That being said, the Pokemon being absolutely useless for battles makes it a bittersweet moment for the player.
