A Pokemon GO player excitedly showcased an astonishingly bad Shiny Pokemon they caught in the game, featuring a Galarian Moltres with terrible stats. Developed by Niantic, the popular mobile game offers various ways for players to evaluate their in-game captures, using multiple stats to assess a Pokemon’s performance. The game’s main stats include Attack, Defense, and HP, with Combat Power serving as an overall measure of strength.

Shiny Pokemon are among the rarest characters in any Pokemon game, particularly in Pokemon GO where the odds of finding one are notoriously low. But, the game frequently provides opportunities for fans to catch them during spotlight events like Community Days.

Recently, a fan shared their unfortunate capture of a Shiny Legendary Pokemon with surprisingly poor stats.

The player, Reddit user tdubose91, posted their shocking capture in the Pokemon GO subreddit, displaying a Shiny Galarian Moltres that fell short in all three main statistics. They invested heavily in this encounter, using 60 Ultra Balls to finally capture this disappointing Legendary Bird, marking it as their third Galarian encounter in the game.

The community reacted with humor and suggestions, with some recommending that the user consider trading their poor Shiny for a chance at a ‘Lucky’ boost. Others pointed out that Bottle Caps could potentially enhance its stats, while some humorously suggested transferring it to Pokemon Home for use in the main-series games.

As Pokemon GO continues revealing more for its players, August promises to be eventful with the debut of an eighth-generation fan favorite, alongside special events planned for the month.
