Taking to Reddit, one player revealed that after spending 90 minutes hunting down the Galarian form of Zapdos, a square shiny of Tyrogue immediately charged them. As you may know, there’s a 1/4096 chance for a wild star shiny. That said, this is a square shiny, which are rarer when breeding, but more common in the wild. Despite this, they are still very rare, and for one to charge you immediately upon catching a legendary is not an everyday occurrence.
Below, you can check out the sequence of events for yourself:
As you would expect, this video shot straight to the top of the game’s Reddit page, which is largely dominated by shiny-catching moments. This isn’t the luckiest shiny moment to pop up on the Reddit page, but it’s up there. It’s not often you catch a legendary and a shiny so close to each other. That said, we don’t know whether or not the player actually went on to catch the shiny. Whatever the case, hopefully, they bought a few lottery tickets after this.
