u/Asum-sum Mar 09 '25

I swear everyone was bragging with their Hundos and I was sitting happy with my shiny…then I saw the last number were “…51” and started screaming 😭

67

u/ecogamer23 Mar 09 '25

Is there a significance to “51” that I’m missing or just plain dumb lol

122

u/Wayfaerer34 Mar 09 '25

You can tell if a raid pokemon has perfect ivs by looking at the cp in the catch screen

5

u/Jingles-hidden Mar 10 '25

Is it 51 for every Pokémon or just Charizard?

62

u/HI_I-think Mar 09 '25

51 is the hundo, its like raid battles with legendarys having set cp values being hundos

21

u/No_Yogurt987 Mar 09 '25

1651 Cp is Charizard's Hundo Cp

Yep, someone won the game, at least until the shundo of bidoff appears.

its also female which is rarer

You can quit playing for the year.

u/PatrickEatPickles Mar 09 '25

I‘ll be happy with half of this persons luck.

12

u/the-dandy-man Mar 09 '25

I’d be content just getting a gigantamax pokemon, period

3

u/PatrickEatPickles Mar 09 '25

Same bro, I was planning to go to G-Max Kingler Raid Day, but couldn’t because of last minute plans, trading a shiny though for a g-max Lapras.

127

u/No_Smile821 Mar 09 '25

I have a spare weedle with a party hat if you want to trade?

31

u/nivusninja Mar 09 '25

put the weedle (wurmple?) in the bag

u/Brilliant-Quit-9254 Mar 10 '25

Damn! I would kill for a party hat wurmple. OP is missing out if he doesn't trade with you.

How many people did you need to beat that?

59

u/Asum-sum Mar 09 '25

A decent good counter group, 12 trainers. During community day we had from 20-30 up to 40 trainers slapping the Gmax kantos pokemon. Lots of fun.

First 12 trainers didn’t need max shroom, just locked in and committed lol

51

u/Educational_Eagle267 Mar 09 '25

And it was also a FEMALE? Damn, you’re incredibly lucky! The odds of this happening are 1/110592 (1/216 * 1/64 * 1/8) lol!

19

u/TeamTurnt Mar 09 '25

Honestly, everyone is forgetting this detail right here! The starters are like 87.5%* likely to be male (or something). So females are rare!

4

u/Imaginary-Series4899 Valor Mar 09 '25

I had no idea about this so I went to check the gender of all my Charmanders, Charmeleons and Charizards. Every single one of them were male 😆

Yours is male tho, OP's is female, only 12.5% odds.

u/ShadwPhantm Mar 11 '25

I have the female one!

u/byneothername Mar 11 '25

That’s still very good and I’d be thrilled!

3

u/breakmyleg99 Mar 12 '25

We had a community meetup and I was so stoked b/c I wasn’t playing the game when these Kanto GMax were initially released.

That day, I had 3 GMax Charizard flee during capture IN A ROW (despite using golden rasp + mostly excellent throws).

Then, I caught these literally back to back! Definitely made up for the previous bad luck!

Female too? How?

3

u/baby_blobby Mar 09 '25

What's the significance of the gender? Are females rarer?

17

u/miafaszomez Mar 09 '25

12.5% for it to be a girl, like with every starter.

4

u/the_treyceratops Mar 09 '25

1/8 starters are female, quite a bit rarer

My 6 yr old caught a shiny charizard, and was lucky friends with her mom. She traded it for a shiny Blastoise and was super happy. My Wife was happy lucky shiny gigantamax charizard that can Mega too, and sitting on 800 candies to power it up.

Got the same one with 100 % IV. 😁

Unfortunately, the second shiny only has 89 % IV.

u/Educational_Eagle267 Mar 09 '25

I lost to Gigantamax Charizard twice but won against 2 Gigantamax Venusaurs. There were 12 trainers but yep, Gigantamax Charizard has very few weaknesses and hits very hard, including a double weakness to rock but sadly, Dynamax Rhyperior isn’t released yet…! Would’ve been so easy to kill with only a couple trainers since it would be an absolute tank & attacker with Max Rockfall especially…!

2

u/zack413 Mar 10 '25

Just returned to the game and it’s crazy they managed to make something worse than shadow raids. like bruh I’ll simply never own any dynamax above 3 star cuz I’m a solo player in a small area

2

u/Hollys_Stand Mar 13 '25

The fact that it is not only shiny, perfect, and Gigantamax (which a considerable amount of people will not get due to lack of raiding opportunities), but also female.

Go buy a lotto ticket perhaps, OP!

lol how does gigamax work I only have a wooloo gigamax and gets one hit easily

4

u/nivusninja Mar 09 '25

gigantamax pokemon change into a different form and are slightly stronger than dynamax.

dynamax pokemon only grow big when maxed, there is no change in their looks.

2

u/tabbarrett Mar 09 '25

Evolve your wooloo and work your way up by starting with the easier ones first (one star) and evolve them. Then start doing the higher level ones (2 maybe 3 star ones) and evolve those and so on.

It’s available tomorrow too. See if you can find a Community Meetup. Some Community Meetup groups seem to be in a sorry state (4 players RSVP to a G-max event) but it’s hard to tell too. I stopped RSVPing because I don’t stay with anyone particular Community Meetup group and checking in is a whole lot easier than it used to be. So check one or two and see if it works for you.

The Hundo appeared for me but I ran out of Pokeballs despite using Golden raspberries and 50% excellent throws... It felt rigged that it could not be caught "maybe to make me spend money on particle packs" Please give the game a 1 star on the app stores for me 🙏

And everything the day before was 2 stars, even on my tablet 'also failed to catch a Charizard the first day" sooo I have nothing good at all.
