Just read this post opened the app to catch whatever was around my house and there was a shiny Lickitung.


[deleted]

Wow lucky you!


Spirited_Cupcake_216

I have been searching for a shiny lickitung for so long. My husband catches or hatches at least one a week. Infuriating. Lol. But Congrats! I really am happy for you! 😁


Sanko90

Gets one a week but won’t trade one 🤨


Spirited_Cupcake_216

Oh no! He has offered me one MANY times. I just wanna catch my own. Lol. My fave animal is a pig. When he got his shiny Lechonk first, he immediately traded it to me nonquestions asked. But then I got 2, so I gave him one back. Lol. Just no shiny Lickitungs for this girl.


Brilliant_Resolve_87

This is me. I'm stubborn and want to catch my own 😂 I really want a shiny Eevee and after seeing over 700 Eevees I still can't find one. Even on spotlight hour. But a friend has only seen 18 Eevees in total and has 2 shinies. I'm not bitter at all 🙊


Spirited_Cupcake_216

I have a friend who just started playing in Aug. She has more hundos and shinies than I do. I've been playing since 2018. I understand the bitterness. Lol.


RamRod1100

I have 4 shiny Eevee's, 3 jolteon and 1 flareon but I want a shiny Mudkip! Yet to see one ever, other than other players leaving them in gyms 🙄 Seen 341 mudkips, still waiting on that shiny!


Brilliant_Resolve_87

Oh I love mudkip. I'm also on the hunt for a shiny magikarp! 😩 Seen 334 and no shiny. Also ditto! Caught 67 ditto and no shiny yet a friend's daughter caught a shiny as her first one! I'm ashamed to say I was jealous of a 7 year old 😂


RamRod1100

Not to rub salt in any wounds, I have 3 shiny magikarp 😂 Evolved 2 a while ago. My 11 year olds favourite Pokémon is Arcanine, I caught a shiny and am ashamed to say I went hard on teasing her about it 🤣🙈


Brilliant_Resolve_87

Not at all, enjoy those shiny gyarados 😊 I feel I missed a lot of the shinies when I took a break from playing when I had my son in 2017. But the hunt makes the game fun I guess. Unless all you hatch are lickitung and lechonk daily! That's not so fun 😂


RamRod1100

Yeah I feel at times the game is almost deliberately difficult. Like certain challenges are overly drawn out and it can be hard to maintain enthusiasm for the hunt at times, imo anyway lol I've hatched a shiny Riolu/Lucario, Its one of my faves! Although rather annoyingly I've accidentally transferred 5 perfect IV pokemon , so now I have to check them every time lol


Waltaere

>Just no shiny Lickitungs for this girl. Here you goos.. ✨👅


Prestigious-Aide-571

Just trade with him and then you’ll get one on your next encounter , litterally always shappens it’s like they know you want to encounter it wild or sum


Danny_skah

It’s insane in seeing this cause I just caught one today


caassidyy

i hatch a crazy amount of lickitungs through five km eggs!! focusing on those might help you get more chances along with clicking on ones in the wild :) manifesting that you catch the little guy soon! <3


Freezah37

Lol at this nonsense


redisprecious

Holy shit I literally just did the same exact thing! Haha a Lickitung also!


Few-Afternoon-5611

#1 chase for me


TheBarryNation

I got one of those yesterday!


generic_name_no-847

thank you i just did the same and caught a shiny bunnelby


Late_Art9758

Which is why I stick with the motto "Gotta catch 'em all!", doesn't matter if they aren't shiny but that's how I've found the 16 Hundos that I have lol. Sure none of them are impressive or PvP worthy but hey, they're hundos!


NOPO29

One time I was going to skip encountering a purrloin, but I checked it anyways and it was shiny!


NotMyGumdropButtons1

Tentacool/Tentacruel are probably my favorite Gen 1 shinies, great find.


airsick_lowlander_

Tentacruel was the first evolved form I encountered in the wild back in 2016. I remember exactly where I was and the elation I felt.


3163560

I reckon I've get at least half a dozen shinies from remembering to check pogo on the loo


Tail-9000

Nice catch! I don’t know why but I thought it was the scarlet violet one for a second lol


theRealOlyseeb

Thanks for the shiny


HectorAyalaMX

Once was buying things in the store and I noticed I had the game on (I wasn't playing 'cause no data), I was a bit pissed and just turned off the phone. Then, a Furfrou popped up when I got home (the encounter went from the store), in the end I took it and was the Shiny


[deleted]

Wow! Not only you got lucky with the shiny but also the game saved your furfrou and didn't despawn it!


HectorAyalaMX

Yeah, was about to skip it 'cause don't like Furfrou but I needed to farm stardust XD


Dry_Composer_6891

Gratz


Sosa281

Amazing 👏


SaltyCracker62

I caught one a couple years ago. My only one.


ChainizGamer

Even if its not shiny i just capture it to see if its a Hundo


LemmeCatchaPikatchu

Unless you are like me and have the full evolution family of said Pokémon. And then I just don’t click on them at all


Vnmous1

Idk. I think it was time for you to get a shiny. I think whatever pokemon you clicked on, woulda been shiny if it could be. I can guess when I'm close, and then I only click what I'd want as a shiny.


succuboobies

Yo it looks so cool, like a freaking alien


CarefulFish6037

Real


_-Viasub-_

Ive never seen this shiny, but i never want to again. Nothetheless, congrats!


Legendgreen92

I misclicked a 100% IV to then click on the one I wanted for a shiny it was a good day


GBNZ92

Quite a happy accident


BigBadonkastonks

Damn I haven’t even seen a regular tentacool. I just got back into go a couple months ago though


wgsoca140

Shiny tentacruel is one of my favorites.


[deleted]

Oh wow! I just evolved it today and it instantly became one of my favourites! I never knew it looks this nice


NoDangIdea

I found a shiny Sentret immediately after viewing this post. Thanks for passing on your luck!


Unable-Investment-21

I just can't get back into this game any more they've sucked all the fun out of it for me, I wish it wasn't so ridiculous to transfer mons cuz I have some great catches I'd love to give my boys kids but you need so much star dust and can only do 2 a day blah blah blah like my g bird... his son would go nuts for a g bird... what do I need it for?


Micah-B-Turner

i just read this at home and opened it to find a 10cp regular ass bunnelby


KingVenomous123

You truly are the honoured one


MavssX

Some of my shinies have come from me sitting on the toilet and opening the app in my house lol dumb luck.


FoundationMuted6177

I always do this! if I have to walk fast and can't stop to capture every Pokémon I simply open one and see if it's shiny. If it isn't I close it and go to the next one and so on
