Pokemon GO Player’s Bad Luck Streak is Finally Over After 7 Years and 105,000 Catches

A dedicated player of the mobile game, Pokemon GO, had been on a persistent run of poor fortune, but their luck unexpectedly turned around by catching two “shundos” in quick succession. Shiny Pokemon are a popular aspect of the Pokemon franchise, with various factors determining their rarity within the game, ranging from basic stats to appearance. In Pokemon GO, shiny versions of these creatures have been a significant attraction for players, offering chances to collect different-colored variants. However, one particular type of Shiny in Pokemon GO has remained frustratingly elusive for many enthusiasts.

For enthusiasts keeping tabs on their Pokemon GO team members, a “hundo” denotes one of the most powerful Pokemon a player can discover. Typically, a “hundo” represents any Pokemon that have optimized stats for their Attack, Defense, and HP, frequently referred to as “four-star” Pokemon and marked with a distinctive pink border around their star rating. The term “Shundo” was coined by fans for those Pokemon not only possessing max stats but also being the Shiny version of that specific Pokemon, which can be particularly challenging to capture. However, one fan has finally broken their “Shundo” misfortune streak in a victorious manner.

Reddit user Mtrees2404 is excitedly sharing the incredible end to a prolonged string of bad luck that stretched across more than 100,000 captures in Pokemon GO. In their post’s title, they acknowledge the bad luck streak they had been experiencing, as after seven years and catching over 105,000 different Pokemon, they had never managed to capture a “shundo” in Pokemon GO. But, fortunately, this misfortune came to an end in a thrilling manner, as the user revealed that they had caught a pair of Shiny hundo Eevees within merely three hours of each other. They also shared their plans for these Eevees, intending to evolve them into Umbreon and Jolteon.

The comments under the post found other users opening up about their individual journeys attempting to catch top-tier Pokemon in Pokemon GO. A single user revealed they’ve been playing since Pokemon GO’s debut and have managed to nab just one Shiny perfect (hundo), as well as two legendary Pokemon with perfect stats. Other enthusiasts voiced their anticipation for the ongoing Eevee Community Day Classic, hoping to add a shiny Eevee to their collection.

In July, Pokemon GO is hosting a variety of special, limited-time events, including the latest Eevee event. Niantic has announced that Tatsugiri will be added to the game as part of the “Water Festival 2025,” which will occur later this month. Each form of Tatsugiri will only be available in specific regions around the world. Additionally, a beloved sixth-generation Pokemon is set to join Pokemon GO at the end of July – Honedge and its evolutions will make their debut in the game. Pokemon GO enthusiasts are looking forward to a busy July with many exciting events on the horizon!
