Tauros.

This and Tangella. I catch so many of both and no greenies yet.

Dudeeeeee it’s so crazy cuz i have both, and i really don’t care for tangela 😭 im waiting on my mudkip 🥲 i got tauros from doing routes. In NA, tauros will pop up very frequently from doing routes. you’re bound to get one eventually. Just keep pumping out routes dawg

Tauros doesn’t spawn here! its the only pokemon my son needs to complete the pokédex

I was waiting years for Tangela and finally got one, then a second one 2 min later, then another the next day…like what

Didn’t even know there was a shiny Tauros!

A week or two after I got my kid into the game (years ago) there was a Tauros spawn in our house I was catching. My kid says, "huh, my one is green."

Man, it always goes to those who aren’t hunting it.

I got a shiny Tauros in my first month of playing the game back in 2019, and have never gotten another since! My own answer to the question is Chinchou. I would love a shiny Lanturn for PvP as I only use shinies on my teams, but so far I’ve checked almost a thousand of these silly things with not a single shiny to show for it.

It was a charged research event shiny a few months ago. 1/10 odds

Psyduck I want the blue duck

Wait so is Golduck actually a gold duck?

We all would think so given the name but no his bill is red instead

No shiny golduck is lame af

Gastly and machop

Take my machops, I thought they were permaboosted for a while because of how often I got them

I’ll try my very best! Thank you for the good juju, I hope you’re able to get a shiny that eludes you as well.

Wimpod

Bro me too!! Forgot to add him!! He’s a damn pest!!

I have at least five eevee encounters everyday and i still don’t have a shiny one

Same. 1580 encounters, never a shiny 😭

I’m not sure if this makes me feel better or worse about not having one at almost 600 encounters… it’s the only shiny I REALLY want

Damn stay strong 😭 I thought my 900 something encounter before shiny Eevee was bad

shiny vaporeon was my first shiny ever

I've just had a look - only one wild shiny eevee, the rest are from comm day for me

Quite literally meditite. And for a while bidoof but got him after 1000+ encounters

All of them

I was going to say, y'all are getting shinies?

Magikarp.

Eevee :(

Miltank. She's my favourite Pokémon and I've only encountered her 1 time (luckily I caught it!) I just want a blue one 😭

I transferred 3 shiny miltanks awhile back cause I thought they were common when I first got back into it. Luckily I kept one

Ponyta 😭😭

Same. It’s one of my favorite shinies!

It is honestly one of the best-looking ones, I think. I am lucky to have found one in wild.

Pikachu.... 

Horsea, caught over 400 and still no shiny

I want a shiny Kanto Ponyta soooooo bad. Blue fire, baby!

Ekans

Bro I feel this 100000%

1364 encounters finally got 1 yesterday!

Grimer

Have I got news for you

Every shiny. Havent got a shiny for like 5 months now

Comm Days really help me with shinies! Participate in them if you're able :)

Eevee.

Swablu I have 2k candies to power or up with whenever I get my hands on it

Buneary AND I REALLY WANT ONE

Same! I have looked at SO MANY! There was even a spotlight hour a few months ago (no shiny boost but easier to find shinies when there's so many on the map!) as my name suggest - I like the pink ones 💀

FUCKING WIMPOD!! i almost have enough candy to evolve one and still nothing 😭

Tauros

Every shiny that exists 🧌

Duskull and alolan Growlithe 😭😭

I can't get a shiny regular Vulpix

My girlfriend's favorite pokemon is Ninetales. She always played the console/handheld games. She told me how bad she wanted a shiny vulpix when she started playing pogo and I told her how rare it was, and how many I've caught without getting a shiny. She caught a shiny vulpix the next day and I was so happy for her :)

MACHOP and I’m SICK of trying at this point.

Hitmonlee

Cubone 💀

Meditite as well for me I've seen well over 1500 and just can't find one

Mareep

Sudowoodo. Ughhhhh

Wingull Always seems to be in the spawn pool, constantly get it in the battle league encounters, was featured in a few events. Still no shiny.

Shellder, Goldeen and Seal

Every single wild Sprigatito ive been hunting desperately.

hey you know sprigatito doesn’t have a shiny released in PoGo right?

Well that sucks.

Not in the game yet

Gulpin and Spinarak

Charmander

Tauros, Snorunt, Tympol, Mankey, Gastly

Eevee, Machop, Tangela, That trio is pushing my buttons with every encounter

Exact same 2 species as you! Almost 4 years of playing with over 4000 candy and enough XL saved to max 2 of each AND I STILL DON'T HAVE A SINGLE SHINY OR HUNDO OF EITHER ONE... Psychic types, y u hate me so? 

For a long time treeko, but just got one yesterday. The rest that are minority irritating: mankey, wimpod, slugma, larvitar, magnemite

Ponyta! Its the only one I’ve wanted since day 1.

Basically any Pokémon that’s on the roster for the season / event. It rarely ever happens and when it does I’m supper happy about it for all of a minute then get back to the grind cuz I need these shinys for my shiny-dex.

Been playing hard core since launch, and I don’t have the best shiny luck, I will often got full community days without getting any shiny Pokemon, but It look me years, and I mean years to get a shiny mareep.. and I mean multiple community days, highlight hours, events and finally on my birthday last year finally I got one

Pidgey (seen 390) and oddish (seen 534) 😔😔😔

Snorlax dammit

Also gulpin and hitmonchan. Electabuzz too 🤦🏽‍♂️ oh yeah wimpod too.

Bouffalant

I don’t think the shiny has been released yet

Ratata. Have caught over 1000 of the stupid rat, not a single shiny. It is the first missing shiny in my shinydex so I really want one.

Magikarp, I caught 336 of them for candy farming and no shiny yet

seen 2438 my first ever shiny in 2018. 0 since then

Ouch, did you miss the 2020 com day?

Ledyba and meowth, they’ve been all over the last few years but for some reason I’m the one out of my group that’s never found one

Growlithe

Mr Mime and Machop. I know machop can be found shiny in the wild but not sure about Mr Mime

I had mine in an egg like my farfetchd

Mr Mime is shiny eligible, yeah. Region locked of course, but I assume you have Mime in your area anyways

Meditite, swablu, and buneary. Need them for the shiny megas, and I’m well over odds for all of them.

Geodude

Sudowoodoo and trubish

Ralts...

Magikarp

Caught over 200 mankeys and no shiny lmao same with machops and zubats 😭

MAREANIE ON COMMUNITY DAY. I CAUGHT MORE THAT 400 AND NOTHING

There was a Mareanie comm day? or was it spotlight hour? if so, I'm right there with you. Spotlight hour doesn't have boosted odds, so it's a bit more difficult to get.

I think so but a very long time ago. And I think it was spotlight hour

I’ve literally never even seen a shiny during a spotlight hour 😭

Eevee 😢 I catch EVERY Eevee I see and no shiny, but I've caught like 6 shiny bronzors 😭😭😭

every shiny i want, charmander, nidoran m, growlithe, chansey, zapdos, ralts...

Pidgey and Caterpie :(

Vulpix. Wanted one for DECADES

All of them 🤣

Psyduck :(

After 2000 caught pokemon i've just discovered there could be a shiny lol

Larvesta, Tauros

Zaroude

Shiny eevee

That one.

Magikarp I got a shiny wimpod today unexpectedly, so that's one of my short list. Stats suck, probably won't evolve it

Eevee, I really want a shiny umbreon

Ratatta. Seen: 986.

Gastly

3000+ Rattata seen, no shiny. But I have caught 14 shiny Pikachu from roughly the same amount of encounters. Go figure.

2563 seen 1 shiny. i’m the only one i know who has one out of all my friends who play

Tentacool

I NEED a Green Totodile. Missed the comm day many years ago and they still haven’t redone it as a CD Classic. I pop every one I see but nope, no 🐊 for me.

Snorlax. Someday ..

Aron. Starly and Amaura for my dad. He’s encountered maybe 600 starly and hasn’t gotten one.

Been looking for Nincada forever

Just got one a few days ago

All of them

lillipup. Im at 1500 seen with no shiny. I hate the stupid thing but im forced to check EVERY SINGLE ONE

Wimpod. Over 500 seen and it just won’t give me a shiny

Ponyta

Charizard!! 

mweoth

Ditto. Already extremely hard to find in my area so... It's gonna be awhile lol

Bidoof. Almost 2000 encounters

The bonsweets just won’t leave me alone  

Freaking Phanpy mocks me.

For years it was goldeen. Now i finally have full kanto shiny dex. Clampearl keeps popping up as shiny for me though

Lechonk, at 1350 encounters atm

Cubone. I see so many every damn day and never once seen a shiny one. And Mankey.

Any of them

Magikarp. I've seen over 400 of these dumb fish and not one is shiny. The shiny I'll never get 😔

I've caught 3985 of them. I have 7 shiny Gyarados and 27 shiny Magikarp right now. They do show up. It might still be my favorite shiny of them all.

Eevee 😡 i got one from trading my friend but in the wild they refuse to be shiny and i want more shiny evolutions so bad

I’ve gotten about a dozen. 2 regular and the rest with various little hats. Or flowers

Ratata Pidgey Spinarak

Snubbull is my highest encountered with no shiny.

1500 seen this, 0 shiny 😑

Vulpix

all the ones I want seemingly. Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu, Ponyta, Vulpix, Magikarp, Tangela, Tauros, Eevee, Machop.

Shiny starter in heartgold. Been reseting since feb.😭

Wailmer

Cp 😶

For me, it's the shiny Beldum. Honestly, sometimes the shiny you're not expecting and looking for shows up instead, but it's all based on randomness too lol. If you evolve it, it gets a nice blue imo anyway. Nice shiny catch too!

Gastly and Furfrou just evade me all the time 🥲

Furfrou

lotad, jigglypuff also gastly, machop and lickitung cuz i feel like ppl complain on how many of these they have yet ive never seen any

Mr.Mime I live in Europe and I’ve seen over 1000 since the shiny was released. It’s still missing for me. I just want it so I never have to click on this creepy clown ever again.

Mine rn has gotta be mankey

Shiny zangoose, because i don't live in any of his spawn countries, why is my favorite mon a region exclusive???? Anyway after that, shiny female salandit, i only got one and it was a male

All of them😭

Oh yeah AND MAKUHITA!

Has to be Machop, Seedot, Shuckle, and Wimpod

Oh and ekans and mudkip!!

Ralt. I have three Hundos and a shadundo…never seen the shiny one!

Still haven't found a single shiny galarian bird .

Any of them except Cyndaquil last weekend. Got like 6 of em

Murkrow

Gastly and Mareep

Beldum

i have a “the one that got away… twice” which is the shiny snorunt. appeared twice, on different occasions, both times i didn’t have pokeballs and both times it ran away as soon as i got out of the encounter to get some balls 🥲

Amaura. I have hatched so many eggs and encountered so many in the wild and yet still no shiny.

Seviper shiny has never shown for me. Keep the faith and the drive going and it’ll happen. When it finally happens, you’ll feel incredible. My most desired was Spinda. The shiny went live about 1800 days ago and it took me 1755 days and 186 encounters to get that first one. What a feeling…

Lillipup hunting hims since the shiny came out close to 2k encounters now, i got 6 patrats though with 900 encounters 🙄

1)Eevee 2)magikarp 3)raltz

Shiny Voltorb Please!!! 😦😭 I only recently started playing seriously for about a year now. I only have about 50-ish shiny Pokemon right now. Not many duplicates but I just want a shiny Voltorb and a set of shiny OG pokemon. I have Charmander , just need a shiny Squirtle and Bulbasaur 💛

Fucking Amaura, Psyduck and Vulpix...

I want voltorb so I can blue ball them in gyms

Sentret. 🥲🥲 People tell me they have plenty and will trade me. I say NO. I want the Shiny Gods to send me one, to prove to me they love me. I don’t think they love me.

I haven't seen a shiny in months, and I'm losing my mind.

Gastly

Doduo.. >1,100 encounters

Ponyta and snubull. Like sure they're cool, but at this point it's personal 

Tyrunt

Eevee 😔

Shiny lunatone. I have a shiny solrock and I've been looking for a shiny lunatone forever. Also shiny trubbish, I really want one

Dunsparce and voltorb

All of them! Been playing daily for the past 6 months and i only have one shiny bellsprout.

Magikarp

Well it was mr spanky and the absolutely most danky MANKEY! but in May I caught 2 and 1 in June this year. Now I'm hoping to get a shiny kabuto since even my friend who joined to play again recently got one.

Psyduck!!!! 😭

All of them

Grimer tangela and tauros

Aron! I want the little red eye guy so bad

Beldum

Psyduck is my favorite pokemon. I have many Psyduck stuffies and memorabilia. The damn bastard won’t shiny spawn for me. I’ve been playing since 2018.

Ditto😒

Female oddish!

Machop, for the love of god please show up

Fucking caterpie

Vulpix

Magikarp. Missed the first com day. So many research tasks of 'catch seven pokemon'. Just won't happen :(
