Summary
- Bidoof, a beloved Pokemon GO critter, has become a meme and has its own day dedicated to it.
- A lucky player caught a rare nundo and shiny Bidoof, sparking delight and humor in the community.
- Shiny Pokemon are hard to find in Pokemon GO, making the player's unique catch even more special.
A lucky Pokemon GO player has managed to get a Bidoof that is both nundo and shiny. There are many powerful Pokemon already present in Pokemon GO. But when it comes to the favorite critters of Pokemon fans and Pokemon GO players, Bidoof is a very popular name.
Bidoof is one of the Pokemon community's longest-lasting memes. Nicknamed by players as the “HM Slave,” the name comes from the fact that Bidoof can learn most HM moves. But what started as a meme in the mainline Pokemon games has taken on bigger proportions, with Bidoof getting a day dedicated to it, including a Bidoof Day event in Pokemon GO. It's no secret that much of the Pokemon GO community also loves Bidoof, and one trainer shared a super rare version of the Pokemon that they recently found.
Reddit user TraditionalScratch8 caught a Bidoof in Pokemon GO that is, at the same time, nundo and shiny. Deciding to share the feat at the suggestion of a friend, they show the Bidoof that has zero IVs, characterizing the opposite of shiny Pokemon with perfect IVs that are known as "shundo." To make catching this Bidoof, which has only 10 CP, even more special, according to unofficial data from Live Shiny Rates for Pokémon GO website, it has a 1 in 413 chance of happening.
Pokemon GO Community Delighted With Shiny “Shnundo” Bidoof Catch
In the comments, other players were delighted with the Bidoof nicknamed “shnundo,” congratulating the OP on the catch. Many of the responses were made with a humorous tone, with one Redditor saying that “everyone should stop playing,” because the OP had “definitely beat Pokemon GO.” A third Pokemon GO player with a shiny Bidoof, but one that is shundo, published their screenshot saying that “it's nothing compared” to TraditionalScratch8's acquisition.
The odds of finding a shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO are not officially known, but it's certainly difficult, so players always celebrate a new capture of these monsters. On the other hand, the occurrence of nundo Pokemon in Pokemon GO is as rare as that of hundo and shundo, and although these Pokemon are not suitable for combat, they do have a collector's value. The Pokemon found by the player stand out even more in the crowd for fulfilling both conditions and for being one of the most beloved critters in the Pokemon community.
