Every Pokemon Go player dreams of getting their hands on a shiny Pokemon, maybe even a shiny Legendary, so it’s incredible to see a player hit the jackpot with a rare catch of the day.

There are already plenty of these titular pocket monsters to catch when you open up Pokemon Go, but among the rattata and rhinoceros, Pokemon Mew is even rarer than legendary creatures like the elusive shiny Pokemon.

With each Shiny variant of Pokémon having a slight change in color, or in some cases shining, many Pokémon fans are obsessed with finding Shiny Pokémon, even attempting the monumental task of acquiring Shiny Living Decks. Yes, every shiny, every pokemon and every form.

What keeps fans hooked is the fact that, while it is possible to find Shiny Pokemon, they are still incredibly rare, making their appearance an exciting event for Pokemon players. So, you can imagine that it takes crazy luck to catch two shiny legendary Pokemon in one day, or even more.

Pokémon Go player shares legendary harvest of wild shiny

In a Reddit post shared by one lucky Pokemon Go player, they revealed a big catch, including a Shiny Landorus, a Shiny Fuzzy Ho-Oh, and two Shiny Latias.

In a comment accompanying the post, the player said: “I’m sure I should go to the casino. Four mega latia raids, lost consecutively after first two wtf? Is there an increase in luck or something?”

Other Pokemon Go players shared their envy in the comments, as one person added: “I’m 47 years old with no success, give me some of that. My last shiny raid is Kyurem.

A frustrated gamer shared his experience saying: “I couldn’t even catch Latios because I used my last raid pass and he ran away.”

Meanwhile, some comments urge players not to book a trip directly to the casino, with one comment saying: “As someone who has had incredible luck with Pokemon Go and just returned from a trip to Vegas, I can confidently assure you that the two are mutually exclusive.”

Hopefully players will get the shiny luck they need in the upcoming Pokémon Go raids in February, but it’s unlikely that many will be able to match this particularly impressive performance.
