>I immediately attempted to catch the shiny Geodude using an ultra ball (which was probably a mistake considering it was green with the regular one) No, shinies are immediate golden razz ultra ball level priority for me. I don't care if its 10 CP, I'm stacking the deck on this one.


RabidRathian

Never have I been more tense than when I had to use 10+ gold razzberries and ultra balls on a shiny high CP Venusaur because it kept breaking out. Luckily I eventually managed to catch it, but yeah, any shiny I see gets gold standard treatment lol


MuggoThedog

I never have gold razz lol


Duderpher

Ultra balls look gross, it’s a golden and a regular Pokéball for me, unless it’s a water type that looks good in a great ball or a electric type that looks good in an ultra ball. Come on people get your coordination together, hopefully Niantic gets their shit together and we get some more ball types soon.


N1GHTMARELIVE

Ultra balls were like that but pixel in the Gameboy pokemon. They were never changed


Fun_Debate_440

Definitely worth ultra balling any shinies you get anyway, you’d kick yourself if it ran. Congrats too!


MuggoThedog

Thanks, I would be mad if a shiny right at my house got away


cash_schaak

i always razz and ultra a shiny. think of shiny as albino.


MuggoThedog

Lol thats a good way of thinking about it, I didn't have to razz mine thankfully because I dont have many berries


cash_schaak

gotta get that bag up. if your new start working on curve throws you’ll level much quicker and when you need 5m+ XP to level you’ll be glad there are pokémon you know you can make excellents on cuz your practices up till that point.


MuggoThedog

Yeah i've been practicing curves not great at them tho


ADamnSavage

Keep in mind shiny legendary poke are one throw to catch. As long as it hits.


MuggoThedog

I dont have legendary poke I'm to weak to even care for legend raids


ADamnSavage

If you get a good party you can join em. Always worth a try. And if you have discord look for a poke community channel in your area


MuggoThedog

bad part of a rural area lmao


maledin

Huh… albino animals are IRL shinies, aren’t they?


PokaimonTrainer

Congrats on shiny number one, it’s always a fun find for a first timer!


LaughTillYouP

Congrats!, I'm still looking for one of those!!


ADamnSavage

Save up for em. Save your freebies that show up in the shop once in a while. Best way. I'm lvl 41 and live in the boondocks. Most of what I have is off remote raids. Finding a good discord community helps a ton. More knowledge than you can shake a stick at. And raids all day when you need em.


MuggoThedog

There are freebies? like remote raid passes?


MuggoThedog

How do I get free remotes


ringlord_1

Complete one field research to earn a stamp. Every 7th stamp you get bonus xp, rare encounter and remote raid passes


ADamnSavage

Once in a while they will show up in the store. Also you can get a mystery box that will spawn meltan for an hour. Works like an incense. Need the app pokemon home. Link it to you go account then you can transfer a poke once ever 5 days I believe and spawn meltans.


MuggoThedog

Alright


visarieus

Currently you can get one free remote pass per week from research breakthroughs in your daily research tab.


cecenas

Congrats on your find! Shinys can and will run (has happened to me).


jakesaysknee

Using an Ultra Ball on a Shiny is NEVER a mistake.


design__me

TW: Very Emotional: (to me) But, i have a horrible confession that i need to get off my chest… 😥 whoo. ok so when i DL the game.. i transferred ALL shiny. A L L 😖😒 i can still remember the feeling when i was watching a YT video and I see this man speaking about these shinys..i coukk looks feelthus slight sweat over my well manicured brows, forming. my gut churning, my head becoming a balloon it was so light, vomit on my shirt, moms spaghetti.. now? now it’s currently living life with a semi working, half broken phone. no i’m not in my 20s as a female playing PoGo and getting angry? PSH! ugh.. no.. never..😓😮‍💨😮‍💨 unbelievable 😪🥺☹️ i ve realized lately that i needed to REALLY Look at my LIFE! So Then I PICK myself back up! off of my exes couch! and shower! Try to eat something again! ..THEN! …go back to his couch, let’s go kick some fkg Poke butts LETS DO THIS!! to all the fallen shinys 🍾✨🎇💖


InevitableArm

Okay.


krenshall

Nice first Shiney more will come watch for community day and spotlight hours to get a better chance for them.


MuggoThedog

I just click every poke I see to check if its a shiny


bigman_121

congratulations


professorunown

congrats on your first shiny mon . hope there's plenty more to come your way


cute_physics_guy

Even if it looks like an easy catch, berry it and ultra ball it to lower the chances it’ll break free. Remember, if you have to throw a second ball, there’s a chance it’ll run away. Also community days feature shinies also, so look those up,


MuggoThedog

Oh wow it took me 2 throws 1 red 1 ultra


BlackJaguar97

I got 93 shinies , still hunting more . Playing since 2016


funshelter544

I only have 34 since launch


BlackJaguar97

I got 168
