Pokemon GOs Incredibly Rare Nundo Explained

Pokemon GOs Incredibly Rare Nundo Explained

As a seasoned Pokémon GO gamer with over a thousand hours under my belt, I can confidently say that the term “nundo” mon is one that has piqued my curiosity and sparked my competitive spirit. The rarity of these creatures is simply mind-boggling, making them a coveted addition to any dedicated player’s collection.


Since its explosive debut in 2016, Pokemon GO has cultivated a large and devoted player base. Although the overall player count has decreased from its peak during the first week, there remains a loyal fanbase that Niantic consistently caters to with regular updates and events like the Max Out season, which recently introduced the Dynamax mechanic from Pokemon Sword and Shield. The expansion of this community has also led to the emergence of terms unfamiliar to new players, which have been developed separately from Niantic’s work on the game.

Players of Pokemon GO often seek out the most elusive and powerful creatures, like Shiny Pokemon or those with top stats for combat. Yet, there’s another mysterious type of creature, known as a “nundo” mon, which represents the worst possible stat combination for its species. At first glance, finding one might seem disappointing to players. But due to their extreme rarity in Pokemon GO, these nundo mons can actually be quite valuable to collectors.

Pokemon GO’s ‘Nundo’ Mons Have the Worst Possible Stat Lines

How to Tell if a Pokemon is a ‘Nundo’ Based Pokemon GO’s Appraisal Stats

In a Pokemon battle, the stats play a crucial role, and the mobile game “Pokemon GO” categorizes these stats into three key areas for easier understanding.

  • Attack
  • Defense
  • HP

Players can figure out a specific creature’s attributes by examining them on their screen within the Player’s Box. Each attribute is symbolized by a power scale with three tiers, contributing to the monster’s total rating, represented by stars.

The statistics you’re referring to are often called Individual Values (IVs) or simply Individual Values, and they can reach a highest value of 15, with each level on the scale assigned a value of 5.

In Pokemon GO, it’s not common to find creatures that haven’t gained any levels at all, and these are often referred to as ‘nundos’. These are the least favorable forms a creature can have, as they possess no Individual Values (IVs) in any of their three stat categories, meaning they start with zero points in each stat.

Getting a ‘Nundo’ Mon in Pokemon GO is Incredibly Rare

Players who encounter Nundos won’t find them useful in combat as they won’t hold up against the stronger Pokemon encountered in Gyms or PvP battles. However, due to their rarity, it’s worth keeping Nundos as a sort of collectible item in Pokémon GO. The chances of encountering a Nundo creature in Pokémon GO is about 1 in 4096, but this doesn’t take into account that Nundos cannot be obtained from Raids, eggs, trades, or research task rewards.

Locating non-duplicate versions of some of the scarcest Pokemon GO creatures is even tougher, making them potential candidates for the rarest monsters within the game. Shiny non-duplicates or even specific Legendary non-duplicates can be exceptionally scarce as all three conditions are hard to encounter separately, and especially challenging when they occur together. Luckily for players searching for a non-duplicate with ideal Individual Values (IVs), often referred to as a hundo, the probability of finding them is significantly higher since they have a 1 in 216 chance to appear from raids, eggs, or research tasks.

It’s highly probable that the most uncommon Pokemon in Pokemon GO are Shiny Galarian bird forms (Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno), as they are the only Legendary Pokemon that can be found in the wild. These particular Galarian birds can only appear when using a Daily Incense, and their catch rate is just 0.3%, making it quite an accomplishment to capture a Shiny version of them.
