Summary

  • Pokemon GO players can hatch eggs to obtain new Pokemon by spinning PokeStops, battling in Gyms, or receiving them as rewards.
  • A lucky player hatched a shundo Cleffa, which is a Cleffa with perfect IVs, three stars, and is shiny, making it a valuable asset in Pokemon GO.
  • Trainers can look forward to an upcoming event that will focus on Fairy-type Pokemon, including the appearance of Clefairy in the wild.

A Pokemon GO player was incredibly lucky and got a shundo Cleffa while hatching eggs. Like in the mainline games, Pokemon GO players can hatch eggs to get Pokemon.

Pokemon GO can get eggs by players spinning PokeStops, battling in Gyms, or as an Adventure Sync reward. The trainer will then need an incubator and walk the distance required to hatch the egg, which can be 2, 5, 7, 10, or 12 km. It's worth noting that the 12 km eggs come as a reward for defeating Team GO Rocket Leaders. The 7 km eggs are special as well, as the only way for players to get one is as a gift from friends, while the Pokemon that come from these eggs depend on in-game events. Hatching eggs in Pokemon GO requires patience and luck, as Pokemon are generated randomly. But against the odds, one Pokemon GO player was incredibly lucky to hatch a very special Pokemon.

Pokemon GO Player Points Out Medal That Takes 12 Years to Earn

A Pokemon GO player discovers an 'impossible' medal to obtain, and players are bewildered by how many years it takes to get it.

Twitter user Shmiltank got a Cleffa shundo while hatching 7 km eggs, and shared the moment in a video. They hatch a Cleffa shundo that knows Psyshock and Pound, the latter being one of the best moves for Cleffa in Pokemon GO. But the biggest surprise came when checking the stats of the Fairy-type Pokemon, with the player discovering that they now own a Cleffa with three stars and perfect IVs. In addition to the valuable Cleffa, Shmiltank hatched two Igglybuffs and a Togepi, which is also noteworthy, as they can evolve Togepi into Togetic and then get a Togekiss, a useful Pokemon for Pokemon GO's PvP.

Shundo Pokemon refer to Pokemon that have perfect IVs, three stars, and are shiny. These Pokemon are very valuable assets for trainers, as they are the strongest versions of any creature available in Pokemon GO. But the quest to get a shundo is daunting, as the odds of this type of Pokemon appearing are very low. In addition, there are hundo in Pokemon GO, Pokemon with perfect IVs and three stars, but aren't shiny. Nundo Pokemon are also rare, because while hundos have perfect HP, attack, and defense numbers, they have zero points in all stats.

For trainers who want to expand their collections with other Fairy-type Pokemon, an upcoming Pokemon GO event will focus on Fairy-types. The Dazzling Dream event will increase the appearance of Fairy-type Pokemon, and although Cleffa isn't among the possible encounters, players will find its evolution Clefairy in the wild.
