A dedicated level 50 Pokemon GO player recently caught an incredibly rare Sewaddle. The Pokemon GO player’s Sewaddle is not only the shiny version of the Pokemon, but also manages to have perfect stats, increasing its rarity and making it what the community calls a ‘shundo’.
Pokemon GO has garnered a large following since its release in 2016, with many players becoming incredibly dedicated to the Pokemon catching mobile game. With many updates through the years, Pokemon GO has a wealth of content available to its community alongside several milestones that are only available to the most dedicated players. One of these includes reaching level 50, something that takes an insane amount of hours and requires players to earn a ton of XP. Although Pokemon GO players that reach Level 50 have often caught nearly every type of Pokemon the game has to offer, the aspect of luck and RNG in the game causes some players to go a long time before catching rare Pokemon.
This is exactly the case for Reddit user Fantastic-Street-954 and one of their more recent Pokemon GO catches. The level 50 player caught a shundo Sewaddle, which is already rare to find in the game. However, this was the first shundo that this player had ever encountered, despite catching over 203,000 Pokemon within their game. The Pokemon was made even rarer, as the Sewaddle was also a lucky Pokemon that had been obtained from a trade with a friend, something that is relatively uncommon for players to encounter due to RNG and requirements for lucky trades.
The Pokemon GO player’s shiny Sewaddle also comes with another layer of rarity to it. The player appears to have caught this Sewaddle during the game’s recent Community Day on October 5th. This Community Day was the first time that Pokemon GO players could get shiny Sewaddle or any of its evolutions within the game. This makes the player’s shundo Pokemon even more rare, as this was the first time that this type of catch could even happen for Sewaddle.
Although Sewaddle’s Community Day has passed and the chances of finding a shiny Pokemon like this are slimmer, there are still ways that Pokemon GO players can find rare Pokemon within the game. With the current Max Out season in Pokemon GO, players still have a ton of future events to participate in, several of which offer featured Pokemon and increase their encounters in the wild alongside their chances of being shiny.
