A Pokemon GO player recently caught an incredibly rare shundo Metagross. Not only was the Pokemon GO player's catch incredibly rare when it comes to stats, but the Metagross is also a lucky Pokemon, something that is already difficult for players to obtain.
The search for rare Pokemon in Pokemon GO is something that many players are familiar with. This includes the search for shiny Pokemon, Pokemon with perfect stats, large and small Pokemon, and everything in between. Occasionally, players will even go after some incredibly useless Pokemon, attempting to catch those with absolutely awful stats. Either way, managing to find a Pokemon with any rare aspect is incredibly exciting for players and fans alike.
Reddit user Curly4Jefferson managed to catch an absurdly rare Metagross that had several incredible stats. Firstly, the Pokemon is a shundo – a hundo or Pokemon that has perfect stats in attack, defense, and HP, which is also a shiny. Alongside this, the Pokemon is incredibly heavy and tall, falling into the largest (XXL) category of size. These features combined already make the Metagross incredibly rare, as it is difficult to find a Pokemon that is shiny, has great stats, and falls into one of the extreme size categories.
Shundo Metagross is Made Rarer With Large Size and Lucky Pokemon Status
However, the rarity of this Pokemon doesn't end there. The already insanely rare Metagross is made even more spectacular by being a lucky Pokemon. Lucky Pokemon in Pokemon GO are Pokemon that have been specially traded with another player. Players can only have one lucky trade like this per day. This is a very uncommon occurrence, and only adds to how absurdly rare this Metagross truly is.
The Pokemon GO fan that caught this Metagross commented on its rarity, stating that they "should go buy a lottery ticket" in response to their insanely good luck. Other Reddit users were also impressed by the Pokemon, expressing their congrats and disbelief in the comments of the original post. Others shared their disappointment at not being able to catch anything close to the rare Metagross, despite the recent Beldum Community Day in Pokemon GO.
While the search for rare Pokemon is a common adventure for many Pokemon GO players, it is not often that one sees a Pokemon as insanely rare as this Metagross. The Pokemon being a lucky Pokemon and shiny, combined with its perfect stats and insanely large size, creates an absurdly rare occurrence. This Pokemon GO fan is sure to cherish this Metagross for a long time.
