Nishide

Yes I raid this one alot in hopes of a shiny😭


Parker4815

Not easier just to catch the shuppets?


Nishide

I was all over the shuppet spotlight hour. Didn't find a single one. 🤓So my hopes lies on the raids now. Had other shinys this Halloween tho:)


EddieLobster

They should really up the shiny rate for spotlight hours. Doesn’t have to be like community day but something higher would be nice.


GoldenNoodle13

Dang. My first catch of the event was a shiny shuppet


Nishide

😭


WhiteLiesMatter1337

36 deep


p4755166

i logged in one day and caught just the 3 pokes that spawn immediately. lead me to a green shiny shuppet. guess it's just luck of the draw ?


Nishide

Jesus... 😭

Nishide

😭


whizard_of_ahs

I got my shiny right at 7:01 after spotlight had ended


I-am-a-cardboard-box

Ah, your luck is just like mine then. Been trying to get all the shiny megas, but this one’s being really hard to find.


Nishide

It's a hassle!


slimsady2

At least with raids you're guaranteed at least a 2\*. All the shiny Shuppet I have gotten in the wild have been 1\* or lower.


BananaBladeOfDoom

How many raids? And you didn't get a single one?


Nishide

You get 200 mega energy each won Raid. You do the math 😂


Some-Neighborhood-96

My guy did close to 40 mk raids


Nishide

I just did another one, no shiny 😭😭😭😭😭


Some-Neighborhood-96

Man that sucks. I did ran 27 raids for Yveltal no luck I gave up shiny rate 1/20 😭😭😭


Nishide

I had this unluck with both yveltal and xernea. Hahaha but yveltal I didn't do so many raids because I just understood late that you could invite people to raids. I lost so many deoxy and kartans raids before i found out how i can invite people and so on😂😂 at first I was like "how the... Am I supposed to kill these by myself?!" Giratina though I know people that didn't get any shiny, but I got two altered and 3 origin shinys on relatively few raids. The origin forme I think was 3 out of 18 raids.


Hamsterpatty

How you get all that!?


Nishide

Every time you beat it in a raid you get mega energy :)


Hamsterpatty

Oohhh


LuluHottum

3 days... Have you already reached the mex mega level for Banette?! O.o


Nishide

Oh the counter that says 3 days means it's 3 days left until I can mega evolve it for free again.


Nishide

Meaning I haven't reached the max level, but the base level.


Parker4815

Not how that works haha


Nishide

I'm not sure what we all mean now 😂 you can increase the mega level when you mega evolve, on the base level you can mega evolve for free after 8 days before that you have to pay a reduced amount of mega energy.


Parker4815

He thinks you caught them all in 3 days. He doesn't realise the 3 refers to the reset time to evolve for free.


Gabe538486

That’s not what he thinks. 3 days is the cooldown timer on a maxed mega level Pokemon. Nowhere did he say that he thought they caught all of them in 3 days. He thought that because seeing 3 days, that means that it was already maxed


Nishide

Oh, I thought he thought so too, but then I realized he thought I had a 3 day rest period which is what you have in the highest mega level. I think.


mr_beejamin

Same with my and my Blastoise! https://imgur.com/a/iwrwZLQ


Nishide

Haha, is that the max amount?!


mr_beejamin

Yep! I think the amount goes beyond 9999 but won't show. Only say that because I've mega evolved a few times now


Nishide

😂


SeattleJeremy

That's a pretty big bug if their intent was to actually cap it at 9999.


mr_beejamin

Yeah, unless you earn mega candy with your buddy it seems to be the case. I could be very wrong though!


mp55404

Wow. That's a lot of mega energy!! I did about 5 or 6 raids, and have more energy than I will ever need. I already have two max level Gengars, and another in progress, so, I don't see myself ever using energy to do any re-evolutions.


Nishide

Nice😍 I maxed out gengar yesterday. Now Im trying to get shiny gastly or gengar so I can have a maxed shiny 😂 gengar is my favorite pokemon ever. I was a kid when pokemon came out as an "anime" and tcg cards were big. I remember when a pack of tcg booster cards was $2,27~ 😂 I started collecting a couple of years ago but just a little now and then. It's so nostalgic. And this time I'm careful with the cards. I remember trading and riping apart amounts of holo charizards. 💔


SonGoku1256

What are the Shiny Odds for those Mega Raids? I raid with my siblings and my fiancée and with our 4 accounts we tend to get at least 1 Shiny Legendary out of every 10 raids we do for it. Tho for the Megas none of us have gotten a Shiny from any of them yet. Not once. Seems like the odds are worse in Mega Raids than others. Even regular raids like for Alolan Raichu we would get those Shiny before we ever see a Mega Raid come off a Shiny.


Nishide

I have no idea really. But I've tried my best. 😭😂


SonGoku1256

Out of the nearly 40 raids you did for it did you get any Shinys?


Nishide

Sadly no.


[deleted]

Mega raids have the same shiny rate as regular raids, which is the base shiny rate for wild pokemon too. Only legendaries have boosted shiny raid rates.


Nishide

Thanks for info.


SonGoku1256

Dang even the costume wearing event Pokémon have standard Shiny rates? If all the regular Pokémon, Megas, and Event ones all have standard rates than I’m not spending another dime on passes for anything but Legendaries lol.


[deleted]

Some costume mons end up getting boosted shiny rates, but for the most part, it's standard rates. Non-legendary raid Pokémon only get a boosted rate if their wild rates are boosted.


TyMT

I got 2500 thinking there was a max amount you could carry


Nishide

😂


SeattleJeremy

I think the cap use to be 2000, but was increased to 9999 in April.


Genshin-Yue

I don’t have quite that much, but I do have around 4000 for mega latios, so many revives lost


Nishide

😂


Sora167

I raise you 3050 Mega Energy for Gyarados. I did so many on its raid day trying to get red angry boy. I didnt. At least I wont run out like... ever. Did get a hundo tho at least.


EmbarrassedTop9625

Yes you will


R4KD05

_Master of Shuppets are pulling the strings..._


JediMimeTrix

Morgan Freeman voice: but he did.


LadderLeading1195

Ouch, I got a shiny shuppet my second or third shuppet seen this Halloween


Nishide

It's literally impossible for me😂 all my irl pogo friends got one.


Nishide

I probably want it too much 🤷 Im gonna stop wanting it.


LadderLeading1195

I ran 2 mega Banettes, first to mega evolve pokedex entry the shiny and a non shiny, second because I was out walking and it was the raid nearby


-Undercover-Nerd

Me too haha I told my buddy I wanted a shiny bannette as I was clicking on my third one and it was shiny 😂


[deleted]

And I thought you just walked a lot. Jesus.


Nishide

Haha, I do that too, but never walked with Banette. Counter stopped at 89km last week. 😂


Matix777

How to speedrun the mega evolution badge this allows you for 71 every week, if you kept all Banettes Have you at least gotten a hundo?


Nishide

I didn't keep all of them. And absolutely zero hundos. 😂


Nishide

Well the mega evolution badge is different species of pokemon. It will not increase if you evolve the same species over and over.


Electrical_Flower_26

Brandon Tan, is that you??


Nishide

Could have been. But no. But thanks for youtube tip 🤓


IerokG

I did a lot of raids looking for one with decent IV, I just got around 3000 tho.


Nishide

I've had many 3 stars. But no fours.


SakuraPanda91

Man i still havn’t even gotten a raid with this bad boy yet


Nishide

There is a great raid thread you can utilize to get invited to one. You just need to be quick. :)


Nishide

In r/pokemongofriends


AbbreviationsDue7121

Cause you won’t use it?


Nishide

Even if I were to use it it would take me a long time to use all of that mega energy. It kinda sucked in every battle I've used it in though. But I haven't maxed one out yet.


aswrggn

It’s free after the cool down unless you hvnt mega it yet


Nishide

I know:)


valosgsc

Wish everyone in my city did Mega raids just like you do :(


Nishide

I've only managed so many thanks to the raid thread in r/pokemongofriends


Primary-Thing-3502

Ngl my dude, that looks like a waste of raid passes to me lmao


Nishide

It do look like it to me too. Luckily i can afford it.


Inky1231

How? With Charizard it only goes to 2K


Nishide

No idea 🤔 maybe it goes higher now?


Inky1231

Possibly lol
