A Pokemon Go player stunned everyone by hatching Hundo (IV 100), one of the rarest and most sought-after Pokemon in the game, a feat only a few lucky trainers have achieved.

It is not easy for Pokemon Go players to add all available Pokemon to the Pokédex, as some species can only be obtained by hatching eggs. This gets even more complicated because these egg-specific Pokemon are often relevant in the metagame, making them great for PvP and PvE battles.

Fans often end up walking hundreds of miles to acquire these valuable possessions to add to their collection. So when a trainer got Hundo from the rarest egg hatch in the game, the community couldn’t help but marvel at their luck.

A trainer on Reddit named ‘SpumScum’ shared a screenshot of his Pyronille IV hatching 100 in Pokémon Go and wrote: “What are his chances? I think I won.”

The exceptionally rare hatching surprised many Pokemon Go fans who took to the comments section to praise the perfect stat catch.

“You’re so lucky I haven’t picked one yet,” One user wrote while another added: “Pretty sure you won the game! Congratulations!”

Others called the hatching “ridiculous” as they celebrated the author’s “crazy luck” in not only getting an ultra-rare Pokémon, but also an IV 100, saying: “Hey, I can’t even do one and you have a Hundo?! Jealousy and cursing.”

As one player mentioned, he took it “600 Hatchings to get one (Pyronil)”Others have pointed out that Pyronilla has a less than 1% chance of hatching from an egg in Pokemon Go, making Hando even rarer and more impressive.

One user did the math and revealed that opportunities are around “1/21600 especially to get Hundo Pyronilla”Others are stunned by the absurdity of the rarity.

It should be noted that Pyronil cannot be found in the wild or in raids, and can only be obtained from 2km, 5km and 10km eggs, which are the rarest of the possible hatch groups. Additionally, Pyronille needs no less than 400 candies to evolve into Pyrax, one of the best Bug and Fire type Pokemon.
