Summary
APokemon GOplayer got incredibly lucky recently, finding two shinies without even leaving home. The finds have left somePokemon GOplayers envious, while others have chimed in with their own at-home shiny finds.
Pokemon GOis a game that’s intended to be played on the move. Players are expected to walk with thePokemon GOapp running, which tracks steps and shows an overworld populated with Pokemon. The more someone walks, the more likely it is that they’ll encounter a wild Pokemon. However, it’s still possible for wildshiny Pokemon to spawn in a user’s front yardor just about anywhere else. It seems one player recently hit the jackpot, as they were able to discover two shiny Pokemon that’d spawned in their own home.
Reddit user andPokemon GOfan yellowsnowman4 shared their lucky finds with the community on the site. According to the user, they were lucky enough toencounter a shiny Nosepassand a shiny Feebas all without leaving their home. The two Pokemon weren’t particularly powerful, with a CP of 41 and 164 respectively, but not all shiny hunters intend to use the special recolors in fights. For many fans, simply having a shiny Pokemon is enough.
The OP noted that they aren’t usually very lucky with finding Pokemon at home, as they live in a rural area, making this find even more impressive. Fellow players in the comments were happy to compliment the user for his lucky finds. Several shared their own recent luck, with several happily reporting that they’d recently found their own shiny Feebas, while some also discovered shiny Roggenrola and Marill. Another shared a bit of in-game lore surrounding Nosepass, saying they’d spotted three non-shiny Nosepass in their yard, all facing the north. It’s a little detail that was included based on the Pokemon’s dex entry, which states thatNosepass' magnetic noseconsistently turns north, and that trainers sometimes use it to find their way when navigating.
It’s Worth Checking in on Pokemon GO For Shinies
Firing up thePokemon GOapp while at rest or at home may be worth it, if only to see if any shinies have popped nearby. While the odds of encountering a shiny remain pretty low, the more chances the player takes, the more likely they are to spot one. If all else fails, there are often events that reward shiny Pokemon or increase their spawn rate.Pokemon GO’s eighth anniversarywill bring back Shiny Celebi. Shiny Meltan and Shiny Party Hat Grimer will also be available for a limited time, so players hoping to get more shinies shouldn’t miss the opportunity.
