1 in 1000 Chance to Encounter This Shadow Lugia! As Rare as a Hundo! - Pokemon GO

[@FlaCKoElRey]

If only they knew that, this is how Brandon plays on a regular basis. I bet once they went home, they were like, “thank god l got away from that crazy guy, I’m not coming out to no more meet up spots” 😂

[@hartlas]

Man I feel the exact opposite. I'm a super antisocial person but if someone was this enthusiastic I'd be loving it. I wish there was anyone like this in my area. I did 3 shadow Lugia raids this weekend and only ever saw one person who left as fast as possible 😏

[@dinnerboons1504]

I mean he says, “nice to meet you again” to the host so the host will definitely do it again.

[@Yaburnt420]

they really need to make 5* shadow raids remote. They act like everyone can roll up to a poke gym with at least 7 people.

[@CitywideJ]

We had a group of 18 that pretty fast dwinleded to a group of 12 and eventually 6 because the spawns of the actual raid was that bad.... Tbh it was a failure of an raid event on that front.

[@defydakidd9119]

Get mobile and coordinate raids thru campfire. No excuses out here boy. Me and the homie did around 40 raids this weekend. 2 purified hundos and 2 shinies.

[@gmkt851]

I agree that most people aren't as lucky. Especially if you play in an area where not a lot of people play it. E.g UK is much less active than somewhere like HK. However letting it able to be remote raided will be abused by p2w. I think that letting the first shadow legendary be able to be remote raided is a better solution. A, collectors are happy. B, ppl in remote areas are happy. (If some in niantic reads this please implement it.)

[@CollectingBS]

That would be nice. I will say that I was able to beat it with 3 level 40 counters and 1 with negligible counters, so 4 total. Always around a minute remaining.

[@ky90five55]

Did w 4 peeps

[@01i.]

I'm so jealous of everyone who has friends to play with haha, all mine call me lame hahaha, but it means I miss out on all the raids :'(

[@SuperKaspian741]

nearly all of my friends have stopped playing too :(

[@RoyaltyEntertainment510]

Try campfire. I literally have the same problem but campfire has host that set up meet ups around your city. & if that works, come out to Antioch, California. I’ll raid with you. Lol

[@Dragonbluey]

@@RoyaltyEntertainment510 Just hopped on campfire earlier today - and there was a local group running a train and got me 8 tries - 5 catches. Maybe there is a local group on your campfire? Or of course, check for flares, you never know who will show up.

[@Bluemander]

I always play alone and hope by chance that there’s enough ppl at the right timing for raids 😅

[@ky90five55]

Get better friends

[@DeceptiBot1183]

I woke up on the first day and saw a shadow lugia raid not too far away hatching in 7 minutes. I got ready at lightning speed and ran over. It was definitely worth it as I got a shiny 2*. My first raid and a shiny. I’m still in disbelief! Edit: To clarify, I did not solo the raid. I’m only Level 35 and I did it with 10 other people. Sorry for the unclear comment.😢

[@ActuallyMrLegit]

Did you solo it?

[@jowelweewee]

@@ActuallyMrLegitits impossible to solo a 5 star shadow raid

[@willcoates6885]

yooo that’s awesome ! those are the moments that make it worth it ! you could’ve easily napped or not go to get it but you did and it’s a great memory :)

[@TheGermanator]

👎

[@OP......79]

I got 2 after 60 raids😭😭😭 one is 95 iv ⭐✨

[@MariaAntoinetteTV]

My son got a shadow Lugia first battle! Needless to say his weekend was made! We did a photoshoot in the full moon! Love this for him!

[@DragonBalt]

I must say, catching it was hard, but I had much luck, fortunately.12 out of 14 caught, one shiny

[@stefanusrianto8781]

agreed, i played like 6 shadow lugia raids, and 4 of them it fled because throwing the ball is so hard with the Lugia keeps rolling rolling and rolling, and way too far to throw

[@jonathanarellano8449]

I had the same problem, try throwing right when he’s about to finish his back flip and turning on ar helps with throwing the ball further

[@Adam_P_Wood]

I learnt to wait till after an attack if it doesn’t go into another right away throw the ball like a 1 second window

[@adamlaw1986]

I never got a shadow shiny from any of these raids since they started doing them. So starting think I should not bother lol. Great content dude always good see your passion for this game.

[@TruthSeeker214]

HAHA SAME

[@Adam_P_Wood]

I’ve been free to play player since release I’ve picked up a few shiny legendarys, I bought 165 raid passes last week I’m down to 135 and got only 1 shiny 😅

[@onvvi6945]

Yea don’t bother with this raid, They say it’s 1/20 chance but i did 117 raids and only got 2 shiny lugias, Such a scam

[@eeZyy_]

@@Adam_P_Woodfree to play? Yeah ok

[@Pixelkip]

@@onvvi69451/20 doesn’t mean you’re going to get one if you do 20 raids. It’s a roll of the dice every time you raid one, You just got super unlucky

[@AzetheReal]

Was in San Francisco on a bike and was catching Raids back-o-back at the last second. Caught a Shiny with 13/13/6. I’m satisfied.

[@aintez2bstieby83]

Must be nice to spoiled rotten

[@opiumdou9885]

Yo I probably saw u I was doing the same thing in the embarcadero/financial area💀

[@AJL_90]

This group of kids don’t seem too excited lol

[@smoothsnailing2161]

Im sad that there are not many ppl in my area that can do shadow raids. Its really hard without remote players. Sadly i dont have a Lugia this year. Maybe it’ll come around again as a normal raid legendary…

[@raphaeld4313]

For people who don't know, odds of finding a 6/6/6 (any specific combinaison, really) are actually 1/1000. It's not just some random number written in the title to give an idea how rare it is

[@K-Noob-Edits]

So glad I didn't miss out on shadow Lugia! Shout out to the homies who finally decided to get out of the house!

[@BoltBlades12]

I may have not gotten a Shiny Shadow Lugia myself, but I did manage to snag a 15/14/15 and a weaker one that I was able to purify to a hundo

[@fazegabe3843]

Hello brandontan91, it’s Gabriel here, I wanted to say how impressed I am at your videos

[@lukaslindblad5369]

This video made me feel better about not getting a shiny one.. have done about 10 this weekend and no shiny

[@GemsOfRedditStudios]

Wish my community was that big, there's literally only 2 people active in my town.

[@blanks7151]

Love how I did 5 raids and the only time it didn’t have hydro pump was when I didn’t have my team prepared and using random stuff

[@Drago-]

I got my first shundo yesrday off the shadow lugia raids SO hyped to have my first shundo as Lugia

[@berkan3392]

Shashundo nice.

[@josayeee]

Catching Shadow Lugia took the fun out of the weekend.

[@Jtown4591]

I absolutely agree. I drove around a college in Houston and joined about 15 other people from campfire. Hit up about 30 raids and I can honestly say it was the worst experience I’ve ever had with POGO. If I could punch that bird in the face, I would have 😂 Everyone with me got high three stars and a shiny but all I got was mid af one to two stars. Couldn’t believe it. And I drove and had to pay for gas! Ripppp

[@mutsisloll]

I did 2 raids and IVs were 14/14/14 and 13/15/15, got pretty lucky

[@DeathSniper4201]

Over 30 raids no shadow shiny ✨

[@faze_peti]

I did 22 0 shiny my friend 4 raid 2 shiny

I got on my first raid shadow shiny

[@Bluemander]

Ouch

[@Bluemander]

That was me during the mega Rayquaza raids 😢

[@matthewharty6531]

we had a little raid train today, Only one shiny from the entire group on the first raid. But we still had great fun

[@bimy4195]

it sucks that not that many ppl play in my town, w8ed in 7 raids and no1 came, so i was solo for the 2 full days so i missed out on catching this one, they really have to make shadow 5 star remote raidable, i miss out on so many things when im solo in the town, i don't wanna waste 15 Euro on taking the bus to the big town to maybe find someone that wanna take the raid.

[@wickedhero3764]

Thank God, I already got Shundo Lugia since april all I need next is XL candy and not really bother about hard catch that much

[@xshsj]

i did 20 raids for shadow lugia, first one was a shiny but with bad IV and rest werent shiny nor 100%, best one ive got was 92% i think

[@RichPichu]

there's no 92 in game. Only 91, 93, 96, 98, 100

[@xshsj]

@@RichPichu i dont remember what exactly so i just said in between 91 and 93 lol

[@sparrowcycle]

Don't forget that when you spam the gem button your pokemon attacks, for the pokemon to be subdued faster you shouldn't attack

[@andypoulos1179]

Love you brother! Sending good vibes to you and yours!

[@Houndlock643]

Just so you know: 5-6 people with at least two of them working with the Party Power Boost works comfortably too when going up against Shadow Lugia. (Though, when commenting this, Shadow Lugia Raid weekend will be over. (Don’t sleep on the Party Power Boost! I was able to duo a 3 star Shadow Raid with this addition to the game!))

[@Houndlock643]

I was also able to duo Mega Banette with Party Power Boost^^

[@supparts9614]

this video was soooo funny haha nice one

[@kelvinhernandez4714]

I got so lucky as I've never caught a Lugia before. I only did one raid and it happened to be the day before the Shadow Raid went away. In my mind I thought imagine my 1st Shadow Lugia raid it comes out shiny lol AND Low and behold!!! once that white loading screen dropped.... SHINY SHADOW LUGIA!!! 🎉🎉🎉 man it looks wicked awesome!

[@tntsw9143]

I got a shiny 15/13/15 on my first raid. First lugia ever as well:)

[@Tofu_Kiki]

You gonna turn that into a shundo?

[@tntsw9143]

@@Tofu_Kiki thinking about it, but probably not for now

[@Weav576]

Up to you as both shadow and non shadow are good in Master league however the non shadow does do a bit better and as far as a raid attacker, it is really only thr apex shadow lugia that is worth keeping for that otherwise it is up to you. It wouldn't be a bad choice if you choose to keep a Shadow, or choose to purify for a Shundo tomale the most use of in Master league

[@Weav576]

Although it would be really tempting if I was in ur boat to purify

[@Weav576]

That would be a tough decision for me

[@Joekool88]

Did 5 raids, caught 4. 1 fled. Had 1 shiny Used my masterball on a 2094 (14/14/14)

[@theyoungazn]

I don’t know how you can still have the energy to catch Lugia after walking so hard lol

[@Weav576]

I also caught nearly the lowest possible IV Shadow M2 during that past event, it was a (6, 7, 6) or something like that, personally if prefer if i had caught a (14, 15, 14) or a hundo or anything close for S m2, Guess i cant complain too much as i caught one shiny S m2, and also caught two XXS Shadow M2 which look really cool seeing a XXS Shad M2

[@avengingfish9142]

Seeing this 0 star lugia made me feel better about myself getting a 1 star 63% shiny shadow lugia

[@AzureSteel]

I did two raids (that I could find) using free raid passes and failed to catch either one. Niantic making this nearly impossible to catch combined with shadow raids being in person only killed all the enthusiasm I had for this shadow Lugia weekend. Double whammy of trying to find locals to raid with and the low possibility of catching Shadow Lugia just wasn't worth the effort to get out there. Good job Niantic, you pissed off your player base once again. 🤬

[@Weav576]

I omly managed to do like 3 lugia raids last weekend, and caught 2 out of the 3 i did, both had sucky ivs, and non shint unfortunately. Although i atleast do have severla shiny non shadow lugia, but still a shiny shadow is still something a bit more different and nicer, but im not mad as atleast i do have the shint shadow M2 from kast summer. So im guessin the 3 legendary beasts/big cats will be next, then followed by their Master, Shadow Ho-OH. Shadow Raikou in particular is one i really want, as i dont have a single shadow raikou as of yet, and it has a gorgeous gold colored shiny, that I would be so happy to catch a shiny shadow of Raikou and especially since its the #1 elec attacker. Shiny Shad Entei w/ it's silver mask/crown piece on its face is also a Suttle but nice shiny, similar to how shiny Umbreon is.

[@Weav576]

As it has a higher dps, tdo and ER value than Mega Manetric as an electric attacker so to see a Shadow not only have the obvious higher DPS than a Mega, but also TDO and ER as well?, that speaks alot as to how powerful that mon is
