Though like in the otherPokemongames, some Pokemon inPokemon GOare rarer than others.
There are many rare Pokemon inPokemon GO.SomePokemon GOPokemon are region exclusivesthat can only be caught in specific parts of the world, while others are powerful Legendary Pokemon that can only be caught in raids. The rarest Pokemon inPokemon GOare shinies, special versions of Pokemon with unique color schemes. Rarer still are “shundo” Pokemon, which are shiny Pokemon with 100% positive stats.
Even rarer than shundo Pokemon areshiny Pokemonwith the lowest possible stats for their species, sometimes referred to as “nundos” by thePokemon GOcommunity. It’s extremely rare to find a Pokemon with the lowest stats possible, and so combine that with the rarity of shiny Pokemon, and it’s understandable why these shiny nundos are so hard to find. But even with the odds stacked against them, onePokemon GOplayer managed to catch a shiny nundo Gastly. Reddit user Promisedtoleave shared their lucky catch online in a post that has generated over 1,000 upvotes so far.
Gastly is in abundance inPokemon GOright now thanks to the ongoing Halloween festivities. Every year during October,Pokemon GOincreases the spawn rate of Ghost-type Pokemon, making it much easier to not only catch Gastly, but also find a shiny Gastly. TheannualPokemon GOHalloween eventsare the best time of year for anyPokemon GOplayers hoping to find a shiny nundo Gastly, though the likelihood of doing so is still incredibly low.Pokemon GOplayers hoping to replicate this feat will definitely want to catch as many Gastly as they possibly can while the event is live.Pokemon GO’s Halloween festivities are expected to last until the end of October.
While shiny nundo are not very good Pokemon forPokemon GObattles, their rarity still makes them coveted by some members of the community. Based on the comments on the Reddit post, there are barely any confirmed shiny nundos that have been captured so far compared toshundo Pokemon, soPokemon GOplayers should be sure to hang on to any that they happen to come across during their adventures.
