One of the rarest Pokémon collections is having all 6 copies of Shaymen. 3 for each in person, 1 during global, 1 free one and 1 shiny version.

[@liltaco9726]

Wait I have 4 already and i dont have the shiny one yet. I think you missed one. I went to one in person, one global, and 2 free ones I believe.

[@saber-seathearn82]

@@liltaco9726 I meant like the global go fest for that year. You still had to pay for a ticket.

[@matt9618]

That’s not rare at all, 100s of content creators went to all of the events. Basically just paid to get those.

[@saber-seathearn82]

@@matt9618 Still rare to the average person.

[@improgamer7829]

I only have the shaymen from the free one but it’s a hundo so I am happy. Also can anyone tell me the chances of that?

[@adriel.013]

I'll always remember my wild J Unown ❤ I got him on 11/13/2018, before they even released him in events or raids. I was playing at night with my bike and I saw the silhouette on the nearby. I run to him the fast as I could, almost got hit by some cars but finally was able to get him on both my accounts!! Such a cool memory haha then I ran back home and saw some friends who played the game, I told them there was a Unown nearby and gave them my bike so they could get him in time, luckily both my friends also got him!! That was the rarest spawn I've seen in the whole game

[@Brandon-jy9qk]

J is probably one of the rarer unowns in general. Since they usually spell words in events, unown rarities are relative to points in scrabble

[@patrickbjordahl3239]

If any one used pgan mapsnbots back before 20 we've caught a few of those and a bunch of hundos ... Looking back jumping fences and trespassing just to catch a digital Mon before it despawned was stupid but so much fun !

[@tjyoung9996]

I know the feeling. I saw a Q pop up on my radar once and my jaw hit the floor. I breathlessly raced across the neighborhood to (successfully!) catch it. Good times!

[@filideeznuts]

I got a unknown in my neighborhood when I first started playing again 2 years ago I transferred it lol

[@filideeznuts]

I’ve hatched over 10 larvestas and I got my galarian moltres with a trash throw and buddy assist. And a G articuno with a excellent and a ultra ball

[@joer1513]

I have 3 Larvestas and I caught an Articuno in the wild on my 2nd throw. Cause, I didn’t know anything about the game (my son and I started playing in July 2023, he’s 5 now), and I hit an excellent throw with a golden raspberry and it didn’t catch. I figured that was probably an indicator I should use the Master Ball on it…and that’s how I caught it. Also, insanely enough, my son’s first Pokemon Go Fest, we went to my alma mater and he got to do an in person raid for the first time, he got a Shiny Shadow Articuno! Moments like that are why we play so much today. He does most of the remote raids, I do most of the battles, he and I both go walking everywhere to catch Pokemon almost daily and I legitimately went from hypertensive blood pressure to normal in the last 7 months since we started playing. It’s a blessing.

Love to hear stories like these thanks for sharing!

[@joer1513]

My son is going to geek out when he sees you responded to our story. Thanks for being such a great part of this gaming community!

[@garcia-buckner7702]

My greatest rare catch is my G Moltres. Caught with a Poke ball on April 1, 2024 during the “An excellent opportunity” event, where most throws were automatically excellent throws.

[@supersaiyankirby]

The excellent from that event didn't affect catch rate just XP so that was an even harder catch

[@garcia-buckner7702]

@@supersaiyankirby Wow. I was under the impression that the catch rate was increased but lucky me.

[@doopness785]

I’m 99% sure that an excellent throw increases the catch rate more than just a nice throw.

[@shadowvesko2720]

You can get gimmighoul for free if someone around you has lured a pokestop with a golden lure it can spawn that's how i got mine without having an a Nintendo switch

[@jmoriarty8000]

I’ve had gold pokestops but never had one spawn

[@Kinggibbon182]

I got mine because my friend traded it to me

[@eleonoracsonka402]

I just saw one 2 days ago at a golden lure and he fled with golden raspberry and ultraball 😭

I thought this was a thing thanks for confirming

[@Sicko2005]

I thought i would never get one. Thought the golden lure was just for coins so i just spun and left. If i knew, i would sit and stay. Thank you, now i hope someone lures with goldens

[@paulinexong]

So happy to own one of the pokemon mentioned here! I live in a city, but used to work 5 days a week in a very rural area. I had found 6 different showcases along my commute that usually had 0 participants. By the end of 2023 I had around 90 wins, and started a new job in 2024. I hit 100 not too long before they released Ph.D. Pikachu. So I'm very happy to have one with bugged IVs 🥰

Haha congrats on the bugged IV ph.d pika!

[@mattjackson1149]

What do you mean by bugged IVs ? Like is it poor IVs ?

[@qlevy7132]

Ive actually seen a Mesprit spawn around my house, sadly couldnt catch it because i was prepping myself to work. And then I found another one and caught it while i was cycling around the town :D

[@nixequestrian3721]

Regarding PHD Pikachu- we get one for every 100 wins ie. 100 wins = claim 1st Pikachu, 200 wins = claim 2nd Pikachu. So they'll become more common as the years tick by I imagine... I'm rural & already have 2 of the PHD Pikachu's. I'm a third of the way to 300 wins atm, so no doubt will have a third PHD Pikachu in the next few months... I'm mostly just keeping them in the hopes big city players will see them as a decent trade since I don't have many shiny legendries to offer for overseas regional dex entries I need. When I first started playing, an Uxie would camp out at a Pokestop on a hiking trail out in the forest, about a 60 minute walk from my house (the stop is at the bottom of the mountain we live on, so is quite far away IRL, but super close by on PoGo's map lol)... The only issue is it kept showing up at the worst times- like between 11pm-1am & I was not about to go bushwacking down a mountain at that hour... It taunted me for about 3 or 4 months, only ever showing up at that one stop, late at night a few times a week... I found out about 6 weeks after it stopped popping up on my 'near bys' just how rare it was...I have no regrets about not going after it tho.

Oh wasn't aware that makes sense - cool to know!

I see Larvesta possibly having a Community Day at some point in the future

I got a wild non-event Unown! A D spawned not too far from my house, so I made a mad dash to get it. And I did! And on the Discord channel that notified me of it, I said “insert jokes about me getting the D here.” Last I checked, there were ten eggplant emoji reactions to it.

I figured Shiny Sleepcap Snorlax would be on this list since I don't hear about too many people having that.

[@tjyoung9996]

I was expecting it too. I thought I hit the lottery when I got my shiny. Do we know for sure if nightcap shiny is full odds though?

it is not that rare - only pay to have.

[@grimfriends4600]

@@markusundaus9468 5 chances per account that requires a month of play at full 1/512 odds. I think that's rare. Any chances beyond that are essentially against ToS because it requires a new account. It's like saying Salazzle or Larvesta aren't rare because you can just buy incubators. It still takes time and rng to actually obtain, and Shiny Night Cap Snorlax is harder than both of those simply because again, you only get the 5 chances per account.

On 5/11/2021 I caught a wild Azelf in Clearwater FL. One of my most exciting POGO moments. I couldn’t believe it spawned, then was even more hyped once I actually caught it.

[@chrisgironda1746]

My rarest catch is both a flex and a painful thing to mention. Shiny shadow 0% alolan exeggutor that was caught from Arlo and evolved on the exeggcute research day. It was a 3 hour long event, so catching on that day adds to the rarity, and that has been the only time we could evolve to the alolan form. I also kept frustration on it as well. I figured other people would TM it away, so that’s another way to add some “rarity” since you can’t get the move back onto the Pokémon after removing it.

[@ryolucanread7082]

Caught a wild level 1 Azelf(always keep an eye on nearby pokemon) while waiting for my friend to get ready to go move some stuff from his storage unit and I got a wild Unown U in my neighborhood around a year ago :D Got 3 female salandits, traded 1, still have 1 (no money on incubators), hatched my only larvesta 2 months ago.

I encountered a wild Uxie the other day. It was on a canal towpath in a rural county, no town, no houses nearby - I was only there at that time and rare that anyone is there. I was walking from my parents' house to a bus stop, a 3.5-mile walk. I'm not normally there but it is also very rural and not reachable by road. I was the only one around as only canal boats (and hardly any) are ever down that stretch, with the very odd exception. I was in a rush, the sun was very bright and I was down to 60 Ultra balls if that, so limiting what I was doing with PoGO as I was preserving balls, it was difficult to play, and I needed to pay attention to where I was walking (uneven grass/stone/dirt path, tree roots etc). But I saw it, and didn't clock what I was even seeing at first (because of the Tour not being that long ago), but then realised... what the... 😅 Very pleased to say that after two break outs, I caught the little trickster and I'll never transfer or trade it (obviously!).

I've hatched 4 female salandit - but only 1 Larvesta, and caught only one Galarian bird. And I buy boxes with large numbers of incubators. I've seen wild unowns, and a wild lake trio, but couldn't catch. I even saw a wild spawn Carnivine 40 miles north of the TN line in KY (well north of where they usually spawn, and long before they were in an event that had them globally). I do have a surprising number of shiny shadows from grunts and leaders, but then I do at least 4 a day (the 4 balloons). Hilariously, I help a friend's son with Pokemon Go. He CAN'T buy anything except with coins from gyms, and only gets event tickets if someone gifts him one. He started playing 2 years after me (I started US Thanksgiving 2019, he started in 2021, but lost access to his original account and restarted in 2022). He's caught 2 Galarian Birds. He's hatched 4 or 5 Larvesta. He's even evolved a Baxcalibur from just hatches (they mostly spawn when he's asleep and not near his phone), and has a Charcadet. He also has caught more shiny legendaries than me, just using free and mission reward passes.

[@calvincollier2466]

I got a shiny Vespiquen and I thought for sure it would make the list but maybe it's more common than I thought.

[@tjyoung9996]

Even with the recent events, I think they’re still pretty rare

[@CaptainDaleBerto]

I caught my uxie wile walking my one trail for a shiny magikarp but i flippes out when i saw the uxie on the screen even more happy when i caught it, pretty sure they have tge same catch rate as the 3 birds

[@WashproBrad]

I got a wild shiny azelf in the wild at 4/25 of this year and 3 larvesta. With 250 candies so far . Gotta love phone swings lol

[@Lucky69K]

4:40 even when elite raids waa 1st released with hoopa unbound Wild kantonian legendsry free birds were spawning within a radius and catch rate was garbage until its shiny

[@brandonciciotti4944]

4 years ago a wild azelf spawned a few blocks from my work. I couldn’t leave to get it unfortunately. Another trainer in the local discord who was a low level (meaning the IVs aren’t set for wild Pokémon) caught it. And it was a hundo for him. Wouldn’t have believed it if he didn’t send the pic.

[@flyinbacon11]

I have a wild unknown and azelf (both random outside of events). I have larvesta, a hundo goldingo, and all the birds. Pretty lucky!

[@Mrhoaf]

Caught a wild Azelf thanks to the local Discord. I was home with my daughter, niece, and nephew. when the call-out happened. I got my 3 year old up early from her nap and drove over to look. Thankfully, it was only about a mile or so away... my nephew and I were really excited to get that catch.

[@GabSi99]

Since you mentioned shiny shadow hundo, I’d like to mention traded nundo. If your very first interaction with a new friend is a trade you have a 1 in 4096 chance of getting a nundo. After that trade your friendship level increases and the trade floor IV becomes 1-1-1.

[@QileiYin]

I actually saw a azelf on the nearby screen yesterday, and I ran as fast as I could to the pokestop (wasn’t that far away) but the moment I tapped on it, it immediately fled :(

[@improgamer7829]

I got a salandit which was female on my pokidex registry. One time I had got a wild mesprit which was a hundo. Sadly my friend transferred it😢 and that friend only hatched a hundo larvesta,so I made him evolve it and then transferred it to take revenge 😅

I catch the other day a Azelf lvl one outside of my house. That was crazy, I have no one pokestop near, only a random spawn.

[@garisonf.2476]

I got a salandit back to back and evolved one into a salazzle it’s actually one of my favorite Pokemon to use for battles had no clue it was rare but wow 😅

[@user-wu6tc2sz3r]

Shundo volcarona and shundo sallazle: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?

[@LedgerCubes]

I didn’t play much during the sinoh tour and didn’t get a lake guardian But 2 days ago after getting back from my 4 hour bike ride to pokehunt a azelf spawned at my house and mine shiny!

[@justinlemaster4136]

There was a azelf that popped up at a pokestop near me last night. I wanted to go try and get it but I don’t have a car and mosquitos here are killer.

[@anthonyrobertson3740]

This video actually made me feel pretty special because I consider myself a pretty normal daily player and I've hatched 2 Larvesta, (never buy incubators) evolving one into Volcarona (rare candy and best friending both Larvestas) and I have 2 Galarians Articuno (Golden Razz, Ultra Ball, Excellent Throw of course) and like a week after getting my first Masterball Zapdos spawned while I was walking around my neighborhood saving the one i have now for Moltres buuuuuut before I caught them I've seen ~ 7 Moltres even recorded a back to back encounter now he wont pop up. And even though it was during Sinnoh, got a shiny Mespirit in the wild. Trying to get Salazzle hatched 8 males so far and I haven't gotten a legit Shundo yet I had to get one by lucky trading a hatched shiny Gligar 😂

[@PlzBelieveIt916]

I caught an Azelf 2 weeks ago 4/27, thought it was weird to find... didn't know those odds. wild.

congrats on that grab!

[@kid4eva94]

I got a wild unown at home about a month or 2 ago, I had to ask friends if there was an event on and got told no, so I was super lucky

[@1kc1pet12]

I saw a uxie on my nearby like 1 hour ago but had no idea what it was (im a very casual player) and was too lazy to get go it, now after watching this video im so sad i didnt go get it!

[@Cookingdope]

Unknown used to spawn at local events like dragoncon, E3 etc with the letters included in the event name. I have 9 “wild” unknwn catches
