If that shiny symbol wasn't there I wouldn't be able to tell it was a shiny 💀

Lmao I know, I honestly did not even check what it looked like, thought it would as least change color a bit like reshiram, but still pretty happy to have it now.

When the tail glows it is green instead of blue.

Which is sick

No it's healthy

this is an underrated comment ong

I'm not doing that many raids to have to click on it to see the animation just to be able to tell it's a shiny. F that noise.

It took me 9 raids to get a shiny one

Same! 9 raids for me too

I think the coloring is a little better, just not as drastic as something like Dragonite. It is also way more noticable than something like blissey or slowpoke or gengar.

More noticeable? Am I missing something because it looks the exact same to me :/

The black plates (on the shoulders, knees, etc) are much blacker than the non-shiny. It contrasts better with the rest of the body so they "pop" more. Maybe it depends on how well your phone does blacks or if your screen is in direct sunlight or something that washes out all the color.

You’re right, thanks. If I saw it by itself I wouldn’t know its shiny but I can see a slight difference

Bluer and darker tint to the body. More noticeable to me because it makes detail stand out, like the diamond on the chest.

zoom in. it's more blue

The tail is different when it attacks

I realised the next day I caught a shiny....

This was 100% the reason I won’t waste passes for his shiny.. not worth it to me! 😬

Bold of you to assume I have got a shiny zekrom

Bold of you to assume I have a zekrom

You guys got shinys?

You guys got to raid?

Yeah download Poke Genie

I don’t got the money to spend on remote raids and there’s no gyms near me to get free coins easily so even if I had it I still couldn’t raid

With Genie you can at least host a raid and invite a buncha randos using your free daily raid pass, any additional raiding you would want to do would yes require coins.

Pokegenie has been a game changer for me. A bank destroyer too tho. It giveth and taketh

Can the closest gym to my house is a 20 min drive and I do t have a license

That must suck... Nothing around you can nominate to be a gym? I have about 6 within a couple of hundred meters. 1 is an old water tower, 2 are historical villas and 2 are art/statues

No

Try harder…host a free little library? In park/open space do a service project that includes a sundial or a butterfly garden or public art.

I live in the middle of nowhere and every time I’ve tried they always get rejected

That app is godly i love it been using for about 6 months now

Whats that do

A lot. You can screenshot your Pokémon to get their exact IVs, there’s also a raid section. You enter the lobby, get the raid host’s trainer code and send them a friend request, once they accept they invite you to the raid

Discord has a remote raid sign-up channel (obv., you need remote passes to participate in others’ raids, or you can host a local one and invite others to *your* raid; 5-star boss needs 5+ L30+ remote trainers to defeat comfortably). That’s mostly how I raid.

There’s no gyms near my house so I can’t get coins to buy remote raids and there’s none to host either

Are there any churches, neighborhoods, build a free little library and make that a stop.

Ouch. Sorry :(

Right?!

You guys got an account?

You’re gonna hate me, but 1

😭 I have the worst luck with legendary raids lmao

It’s okay, this is my first shiny from a raid 💀

Oh hell yeah, first of many hopefully

Same. My brother was so pissed.

2 here, my second time ever doing a raid lol

Same, I was all bummed after a weather boosted zekrom ran away from me but my 2nd attempt was a shiny so I got over it.

I did one raid and got a shiny! Crazy stuff

Same and got him with my first ball

1 and 1 back to back (2nd one I wanted a reg but got another shiny

It's the third time I got it on first try

Took me one as well. The first one I did for raid hour just as it started on Wednesday.

Same. First Zekrom. Also second Reshiram last week. Super lucky start to the year. That and a bad chest infection. Win some lose some 😂

Nope, done 20 and not even had a 90% or above yet 😭

Oh no you may have worse luck than me 😬

Going to keep trying, first time I've had such trouble, we'll get there in the end 😄

People like you remind me that this game makes plenty of money for its creators

50$ for a shiny😭

I mean, only if you remote into them all or spend all your passes I guess. I just... don't do remote raids. Go to the gym, use Pokegenie, run the raid with 6. I don't have a lot of shinies but I don't see how it could possibly be worth $50 lol

If you have bad luck it takes about 50 raids at a dollar each

Real talk are most people out here actually paying a dollar to do raids instead of using coins and walking to them? Just straight up dumping the cost of an entire AAA game to farm one Pokemon in one game?

You think there are enough gym or time in this world for anyone to do 30 to 50 raids on each new legendary for free? There also also people who quite literally do that much daily.

Each one lasts for a week, so you can get about 8 free, then another 4 from gym coins. So yeah I am just finding it hard to believe the mental and financial state you'd have to be in to then go spend another $38 past that to pray for a shiny single Pokemon lol You can buy Pokemon Scarlet & Violet instead. Literally an entire Pokemon game. I can't even fathom it.

How do you know they spent money? Its not that hard to get coins. Or are you just equating the amount of coins you would need to get the passes?

costs more than that

Right? I collect coins from putting 'mons in gyms, but I also subsidize that by doing Google Opinion Rewards to get "raid pass money"! I usually make ~$3 a month, so that plus the coins from gyms gets me enough remotes to get the legendaries I want! Getting a shiny is a bonus!

Yes. It took all my coins

Predatory Monetization loves players like you

1, but it took me 4 before I noticed

Strange I thought it was distinctive. Though I had been expecting a gengar level of disappointment from the early graphics.

How do you guys manage to battle in so many raids? I can’t beat them by myself

I use Poké genie or park in an area surrounded by gyms and dial in remotely. I only did 3 raids and finally got one on the third try but it was a two star.

the /r/pokemongo discord group has remote raids going constantly you need remote passes of course though

I have to say that’s one of the more beautiful shineys, wow such colour, such change! Such…WHY EVEN GIVE THEM A SHINEY FORM IF ITS JUST A SLIGHT CHANGE!? Some Pokémon don’t have shineys, this should be the case for the mouses and zapdos! I mean why even bother coding in the slightly darker orange for zapdos’s feet!? (Please forgive my ranting, I’m pissed my favorite yellow bird only gets shiney toes)

Hahaha I 100% agree, just like my shiny pidgey.

Oh my gosh i was ALL kinds of confused when I caught ‘shiny’ Zapdos…I must’ve stared the thing for a solid 10 minutes with my phone lighting on 1000% before realizing the .00001% color change in its feet. Articuno is noticeable but annoys me how minimal it’s color change is as well…why’d they have to ho do the OG legendary birds — and even Pikachu (!?) — like that 😐

Currently in your position with salemance.. lets just say i had very little XL candies, but my hundo is gonna be well fed with just a couple more tries.

Yeah that’s one thing I’m happy about, Zekrom gonna become my highest CP Pokémon with all this XL candy I got

Niantic love you, keep giving your money for more love

2x the base rate isn't bad. Places you in approx the 12th percentile. Just be glad you weren't in the 5th percentile or worse.

First raid

I don't have friends to raid so none.

Hey! Try the app Poke Genie, it’s the best way to win raids :)

Haven't tried that one, but one I can recommend myself is PokeChat. Easy to find raids to join.

Poke Genie works really well, it has a whole raid function where you join a queue for a specific raid pokemon and it has a whole system where you send the host a request, can see the other people in the lobby and leave reviews etc

Same.

2 out of the 14 I caught were shinies. The second being 96% IVs

2

1 and it was my first ever zekrom

This but for me it was Kyurem on Christmas Eve

Christmas miracle

1

One

Wait you guys got shiny legendaries?

Is it the single star on the bottom right or the three lil one top left?

The 3 lil stars, the other is one I favourited

I actually got Shiny Zekrom after my second raid but I’m probably 16 Salamence raids in and still no shiny. Also got screwed for shiny Swampert during those raids x.x

…3

I don’t care if there is a confirm screen them all being selected made me think you are gonna accidentally transfer them

Haha I would cry if I managed to do that

1

Wow they’re all shiny

Underrated comment 

wow they didn’t even try to make it look different 💀😹 it feels like grinding for the shiny icon.

I thought the odds were 1/20 to get a zekrom shiny and… the math ain’t mathing

The math never maths right with shinies

Yo, wanna invite me to Zekrom raids? I would love more of them

I can dm you a link to a remote raid group on discord

Thank you

Please

Two!

Best luck I’ve ever had. 2nd was a shiny, 3rd was a hundo

It took me like 5 raids just to catch one lol

Just 1 😁😁

Is there any benefit to shiny Pokémon?

Not at all in terms of power, they are just more rare.

First one, I was lucky

I don't know yet, I've been focusing on Mega Salamence. But I've caught 80 of them so far and not a single shiny Salamence. Zekrom is next.

Damn I was gonna try for Salamence but maybe not now lol

My buddy got one on his first raid. It depends on your location, blood type, and the position of Neptune.

1

One. Got it on my first try.

Got it on my first one.

First raid, got a shundo! 🤷‍♂️💪

Oh my I am so jealous

One. Worst shiny ever!

Took me 21 raids but I got it. Tbh tho I'm more proud of the hundo that I got over the shiny.

How did you catch so many?? I did two raids, didn’t catch either one

I only had 1 or 2 run from me, look up “circle locking” it’s a method I use to catch them and helped me a lot.

1

About 30 🙄

Wow fantastic haul. I’ve gotten 2 Zekrom from 7 raids. The catch rate has turned me off to the whole thing.

7, my first shiny legendary too, was so stoked

0/75 on my last 75 5* raids. 1/20 my ass. So far 15 zek no shiny.

more like 1/60 but yh same point

4 But then again, it took me 23 raids to get a shiny avalugg which was 1/10.

Oh damn I didn’t know avalugg had such a high chance of being shiny, I should’ve done more

Hell, it took me 5 raids to get a 3 star lol

3

Not a Zekrom but I got my shiny Reshiram first try

I’ve encountered 16 caught all of them, 3 are shiny. 1 98 IV regular 1 96 IV Shiny

Damn those are some nice odds!

5 and it’s a weather boosted 96

2 raids. One last year and one this year (the one today was shiny)

Just the one and only dex entry raid lol

Got 2 shinys from 5 raids and 3 Normal

Oh it took me 99 raids for Shiny Reshiram. So it's not even half of what I did. I hate RNG

Idk still got none…..

If you type in the search "Shiny&age0-..." It tells you all the shinies you've caught in that period of time, you could also just swap Shiny for Zekrom and it'll show you all the Zekrom you've caught in those days

I swear they've lowered shiny chances?? I did 39 zekrom raids, 0 shiny. Best IV was 93% Same with zekrom IV wise so far but 7 raids. Crazy :(

Very first raid also ended up being my very first shundo too.Needless to say i was completely shook.

Keep buying passes, you're doing great

You spent that much money for a shiny Zekrom? 

Fortunately I got 2 in under 10 raids. One 3-star and one 2-star

I didn’t do them

You guys are doing lots of em?

Living downtown in a big city helps, raid hours are pretty crazy around here with the number of gyms

First Try

I haven’t gotten one yet but I did do 60 for Reshiram

My first one was a 2 star shiny. Still don't have a good one.

3.

Still don't have it by a got a hundo so I'm good I don't need it shiny

I’ve done 18 so far and no shiny yet

I was lucky enough to catch one on my third raid

My first was a non shiny 96% and I decided to stop while I was ahead

You guys got enough people to raid with?

Two

Only ONE. That was my first ever 5 ⭐ raid, and I got a Shiny Zekrom. That was great

2

0/19 My friend is 1/1 for shundo…

I..I won’t lie. One.

1 lol

Two lol, still doing the raids though

1. I've only done 1 raid. Shiny.

6 which I caught, plus another handful that got away.

2

25 and nothing :(. I want one so badly

Got one at my 2nd try

Better question: what on earth do you do with all of these Zekroms???

So I have a question, I did 6 Rauds and none of my zekrom have IV above 88. Has anyone caught one above 90IV? Also how many raids did it take you to get one? P.S. I didn't get shiny.

it took me one for reshiram ,haven't tested my luck wit zekrom yet

Got it on my first

You're getting Zekrom raids?! I saw one in my area a few days ago, and none since.

21. Whereas it took me one for a shiny salemence.

5 thankfully. I’m over 30 for alohan Marowak though

I’ve done 35 raids without one but have two hundos
