Pokémon Go players are always seeking new challenges to make their gameplay more exciting, and one player has achieved an impressive feat this week. A Reddit user known as /u/yakusokuN8 has successfully completed the entire Kanto shiny Pokédex, which includes all 151 original Pokémon. What makes this accomplishment even more remarkable is that it is not just a shiny collection, but also a full lucky dex. This means that the player managed to obtain both shiny and lucky versions of each Pokémon, despite the slim odds.
Finding shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Go can be incredibly difficult, even with increased odds. However, obtaining lucky Pokémon is even more challenging as they can only be obtained through trading with other players, and luck plays a significant role in the process. Lucky Pokémon have superior stats compared to regular ones, making them highly desirable. The chances of creating lucky Pokémon through trades range from five to twenty percent, depending on the age of the Pokémon. Older Pokémon have higher chances of becoming lucky. When combined with the already low odds of encountering shiny Pokémon (typically around 0.2 percent outside of events), it becomes clear that completing the shiny and lucky Pokédex would require a considerable amount of time and effort.
According to YakusokuN8, it took them over a year to accomplish this challenge, with the majority of the Pokémon obtained through trades with lucky friends. The remaining Pokémon were acquired through random trades with other players, which may have been the luckiest trades of all.
But the challenge doesn’t end there. YakusokuN8 has now set their sights on completing the Johto dex in its lucky shiny state. This demonstrates their dedication and determination to push the boundaries of the game.
If you’re looking for a new goal to strive for while playing Pokémon Go, this challenge might be for you. However, given the intense grind and rarity of lucky shiny Pokémon, it’s understandable if you choose to admire this achievement from afar.
