While many players can go weeks or even months without nabbing themselves a Shiny Pokemon, one Pokemon Go player has shared a haul so wild users think the game might be broken.

Some Pokemon Go players get all the luck. Every Pokemon Go Community Day is a reminder that some people get lucky when it comes to Shiny Pokemon, Hundos, or even the elusive Shundos that can appear.

Despite the increased Pokemon Go odds, it’s still fairly unlikely to come across a Shiny Pokemon in the game, meaning some people go a long time before seeing one of those sparkly variants.

That’s why (unless it’s a Community Day) getting a couple of Shiny Pokemon in a day is highly unlikely, let alone any more. Needless to say, as one Pokemon Go player has shared their monster haul, fans are baffled at the insane chances of this player’s Shiny luck.

Pokemon Go player shares insane Shiny luck

Pokemon Go player CombinationOk5608 has shared a post on Reddit showing off their impressive findings, made all the better but the fact they were all caught within a 48-hour window.

They comment saying, “I think the game is broken…” before sharing a post with 15 Shiny Pokemon, all caught within two days.

Other Pokemon Go players are understandably jealous in the comments, with one person saying, “And I thought my 3 shinies today was really lucky…”

A few people think the Pokemon Go player should ride the luck, with one person saying, “i think u should buy a lottery ticket” before another adds, “bro go hit the casino.”

Meanwhile, some fans are just jealous of the selection of Pocket Monsters caught, as one comment adds, “i have been wanting that zigzagoon for MONTHS ever since i found out what the shiny looks like.”

Finally, another comment excitedly says, “Bruh the SHELMET THO.”

If you want to add a Shiny Pokemon or two to your collection, then be sure not to miss Pokemon Go Porygon Community Day this weekend. Though we’re not sure anyone can match this person’s luck.
