Summary
APokemon GOplayer recently found themselves capturing a highly sought-after shiny Pokemon, only to find out the Pokemon’s stats make it basically useless. Alongside the sizable roster of creatures to discover, the massively popular monster-catching mobile game offers a wide variety of unique variants of its many Pokemon. Each Pokemon a player captures can vary in its base stats, with some boasting particular advantages for the game’s battles, alongsidethePokemonfranchise’s traditional “shiny” variants. Now, one player has found a very unusual shiny Pokemon within their game.
Pokemon GOfeatures a simplified version of the franchise’s in-game statistics, offering an easy way for players to gauge a Pokemon’s viability in battles. Each creature’s statistics are broken down into three basic stats with players able to determine a Pokemon’s base values for ATK, DEF, and HP. A Pokemon’s strengths and weaknesses are calculated into a total “Combat Power,” with some of the game’s strongest Pokemon boasting CP as high as greater than 4000. However, one player’s newly caught shiny finds itself at the opposite end of the power scale.
Reddit user gabri6446 shared their unusually unfortunate find on thePokemon GOsubreddit, showing off their newest shiny Pokemon. The post showcases a newly caught shiny Eevee withinPokemon GO, revealing that the creature boasts zeroes in all of its statistics. The"nundo" serves as one ofPokemon GO’s rarest encounters, with only a 1-in-4096 chance of finding a Pokemon with the shockingly low stat line. Coupled with the low odds of finding a shiny Pokemon, the Eevee boasts the unfortunate status as one of the game’s rarest finds.
Pokemon GO Player Finds Super Rare Shiny “Nundo”
Users in the comment shared the player’s initial shock, commenting on the absurdity of the situation revolving around the shiny Eevee. One fan shared a rough estimate of the unusual Eevee’s rarity, suggesting that the chances of getting a shiny “nundo” inPokemon GOare roughly 1-in-2 million. Others encouraged the player not to evolve the Eevee, suggesting they should fully level its stats to flaunt the rare situation. Others pointed out that finding a shiny “nundo” comes with evenrarer odds than a perfect shiny Pokemon, with in-game conditions like weather able to boost a Pokemon’s base stats.
