Same… The heat/humidity was intolerable around my area, so very few ppl were even getting out of their cars, but the few that I actually talked to were complaining about the same thing. I think I did about 30 raids Sunday… I did get 3 shinies, but I think the highest IVs I got were like three 89’s. Biggest bummer was, I ran into a guy I was Lucky with, and he asked if I wanted to mirror trade shinies, b/c his wasn’t great either (I had only caught one so far at that moment), and my OG shiny, one of the few 89’s I had caught, turned into an 87 lol…. On his end, however, he ended up with a 96. I couldn’t believe not getting ANY in the 90’s out of all 30 raids I did.
we done 50-60 ish raids at a local gym cluster, other friend was like im 2 hours later, first raid he did once arrived: hundo. my main account with ticket: 0 shinies my alt with a few raid passes and no ticket: 2 shinies! But c'est la vie.
So wasn't just NZ then- myself & the locals here were on the strugglebus with raid shinies & IVs & even with wild spawn shiny rates- ticketed players were getting similar shiny rates from wild spawns than non-ticketed players (I got just 18 shinies total from 14 hours of event game play, 5 of which were duplicates out of over 50000 total balls used), I did almost 100 Necro raids, best I got was a single 14 attack 98% & 14 attack 96%, 3 other pokemon were low 90% range, everything else was 89% or lower including the only 2 shinies I got (both in the 70% range). Sentiment with the local community here is the $26 price of ticket was not worth it when non-ticket players were pulling in the same or better rates than ticketed.
@@nixequestrian3721 Agreed… It’s honestly probably going to be the last time I buy a ticket, or spend any real cash on PoGo. I’ll still play a bit, and try to earn coins from Gyms to buy a Remote Pass here or there, but my interest in this game is seriously waning, and it’s definitely not worth my hard cash.
20:30 This guy has no hesitation showing real frustration on not getting hundo after 500+ raids -- I respect that authenticity, had to subscribe. Good luck on the next.
That's what makes this game frustrating sometimes. I've never gotten hundos from a legendary raid before. Until this go fest where I got 2 hundo Necrozma. It's just luck of the draw 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I’m with ya, I was at like 400+ raids and no hundo ray, took like 2 months off the game. Definitely take the mental break and resume when you’re clear in the head
Did 86 necrosma raids got 2 shinies with a gap of 74 raids between the two. First shiny necrosma was from my second raid on day 1 (96% IV) and the second one 74 raids later on day 2😅
Very similar situation. Caught 73. 1 shiny. In the same group one person was raiding and got 10 shinies. RNG is fun, but when it's THAT BAD of an rng - it just feels like being punished. Point of doing many raids is to make sure you're not bound to RNG. If I did 5 raids and got no shiny - you know RNG is RNG... but if I do more than 70 I would expect more than 1 shiny.
My first Necrozma raid on Saturday was a Hundo, which I didn't realize until 3 hours later. By Sunday 6pm, I'd raided for 70 Necrozmas, but no shinies. That Hundo was great consolation.
@@thekweewee I dont think you understand how odds work. The more attempts you have at something, the higher probability there is that it happened for you. At 5% chance of a shiny, and 94 attempts, you have an overall 0,95^(94)= 0,008 in other words 0,8% chance of NOT getting a shiny. This dude with 94 raids had a 99,2% chance to get one shiny, and he didn't. Thats if Niantic kept it at 5% shiny chance like raids usually are.
@@Ambander-p3x so nearly 1% of players who did 94 raids didn't find a shiny. If there were 10,000 players who did 94 raids, that would mean there are probably about 100 players who did 94 raids without finding a shiny. it's normal. sometimes you just get bad luck. for comparison, it took me until my 65th necrozma to find a shiny one. which put me in the bottom 3%. and yesterday I got a shiny articuno on my first try. The shiny odds are normal. you just get bad luck some days and good luck others
@@bitbandit1678 Exactly. He got very unlucky, but not impossibly unlucky. Another thing is, with 1/216 chance of getting a hundo, even if you did 550 raids like this youtuber, you have a 6% chance of not getting a hundo.
I’ve played this game since raiding was released, that event was the worst luck I ever had with legendary raids. The rates definitely seemed like they were lowered for the global event.
Dude it's true. I felt really happy to get my second hundo. Took me 270 raids to get two. And at 380 I'm still at two. But the next day, I saw a friend get a shundo and another friend got SIX hundos in 130 raids. It made my two hundos feel lame and made me unsatisfied with my results.
I actually had a decent go fest for once! I did 90 necrozma raids and got 6 shinies with 2 of those at 96% and also a regular hundo! I also received 15 new shinies I didn’t have with a total of 28
I’m so glad to finally benefit from a go fest raid boss. I did 79 necrozma raids and got 1 hundo after the 40ish raid and ended up with 5 shiny. I lucky traded one of those shinies into a shlundo necrozma. This raid boss was good to me! Finally!
You know, this fest was the best for me. I got 2 shiny necrozma and enough energy to fuse both. No hundo but my hundo luck is weird. I've been playing for 8 years and I only have one hundo legendary. I did take a break for a while so that didn't help. Burn out is real when you aren't getting paid to play.
Hey Billy! Saw you at central Park in NYC. I'm 140+ necrozma raids in between NYC and this weekend without a hundo- which is not nearly as much as you but still an insane amount for me personally. Definitely frustrating and a good time to take a mental break from this game. I'm probably going to bow out until that rayquaza make up day. All the best, enjoy some downtime :)
Sorry you didn’t get Hundo, I’ve been there man! But that was Excellent dedication and follow through. And Kudos for filming at the same time! Thank you for sharing!
I think because most people haven’t had to grind this hard before at least not me. I’ve done many raids over the years and this one by far was the hardest to get good IVs for and Shiny
Never got a single perfect in over 100 Raids this weekend; but I'm very pleased with my 98% regular and my 15/11/15 Shiny Fused Background Dawn Wings Necrozma 😎😎💜💜 it was a tough weekend compared to last year's Go Fest for sure!!
There was 3 hundos in my group I was super happy for them. One guy got it on his second raid and another got it the next raid, on the first day. Fun stuff I don’t have any hundo legendaries but it’s not the end of the world for me I have a lot of fun playing the game. Right now with the 4x xp event I’m getting over 1 million xp per hour. I just have 38 million xp left till level 50 then I just have to complete the level challenges. First time since 2016 since I’ve played this hard I’ve been set on getting to level 50 since 2022 when I picked the game back up. Nice to see I’m almost there!
Did 86 necrosma raids got 2 shinies with a gap of 74 raids between the two. First shiny necrosma was from my second raid on day 1 (96% IV) and the second one 74 raids later on day 2😅
I personally did close to 440 raids in 2 days and the game rewarded me with a hundo after almost 42 hours of nonstop raiding (including remotes), and I thought that nobody can beat the amount of raids I did over the weekend. You just broke my personal worst, and that is just brutal man. Hope you get your background shundo the next time it comes back!
Yeah I think BrandonTan mentioned having a friend that did over 800? (don't quote me on that # , but it was definitely over 500) without any Hundos. It definitely does suck a bit, but that's the nature of RNG. Apart from getting the tickets, I didn't spend any extra money on passes, so I'm content with what I got even if it's not the best. You have some really sick ones regardless; the shiny 98 that you Fused with the background is REALLY cool!
I think these people forget that they are not entitled too nor garunteed anything good from the raids its all gambling and they moan and groan when they dont get what they want its kind of childish lol
RNG means just that: random luck. Sometimes it’s randomly positive where you get tons of shinies and maybe a 100%, sometimes you get tons of crap. It could go either way either way. For someone who usually gets exactly what they want, the complaining is so off-putting and annoying.
81 raids. 1 100%, 1 98%, 6 shiny. Had a blast with unlimited remote raids. And seeing and joining so many players downtown. Was one of the best go fest even without a go fest ticket👍
I was blessed with a Shundo Nexrozma on Sunday afternoon - honestly felt like I won the lottery. I had some success on Saturday with 3 shinies, but my best IV in total was a 2095 which was a 96% before the big win. Again - incredibly lucky! BTW Billy I met you in LA, was at your meet up in Burbank w/Pokedaxi then at the meet up on Saturday. Truly appreciate the time & effort you put in to making these videos.
I feel your pain Billy. After those raids in New York with you and doing Global raids during Global. I did almost 400 raids and no hundo/shundo. Got three 98% IVs and 10 shinies. I'm totally raided out after all of those raids.
Only did around 25 raids, but no shinies, two 96% Necrozma and in the 25 raids I did, only two had the wormhole catch card. The day as a whole felt a little underwhelming with 10 shinies compared to 33 the day before and not many people really interested in raiding a bunch, but I can't complain. Knocked a bunch of target shinies off my list ^^.
I actually got 2 hundos Necrozmas, 1 hundo Kartana, 1 hundo Buzzwole and 1 hundo Nihilego. HOWEVER, the one that broke me was Xurkitree, I raided this pokemon for around 300 raids with nothing but few shinies. I really wanted Xurkitree but still happy with what I got. Thanks for the video :)
I needed this video. This was my first major event and I was focused on a shundo Necrozma I spent basically the price of a new game $60) I have over 50 crozma in my inventory not one fuxnin hundo. I’m crushed. Trying to see the bright side but sighhhh, maybe through lucky trades I can get one.
Raiding was fun. Was kinda like the old days of raiding as a big worldly group, but same deal as you. Over 200 raids just this weekend alone (Plus Madrid and NY over 370). No hundo. Time for a pause. Hopefully we have better luck in the future.
It’s not about accepting or not. It’s not guaranteed, even doing 500+ raids. I recommend taking a statistics class to better understand how probability works. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t.
@@TheTrainerClub No. It is all about luck. I raided 200+ for a shadow shundo mewtwo and I didn’t even get one shiny shadow mewtwo above 93%. This time I only raided 30 and I got a shundo necro.
Me and 3 of my friends did approximately 50+ raids over the 2 days of Go Fest 2024. We EACH got 2 shinies with trash IV's. 2 of us got 98's. 1 of us got a Hundo. 2 of us got 96's too. Around 10 of those raids were remote raids in Manhattan, NYC. 22-ish raids were done locally in Manhattan, NYC during Day 1. The rest were done locally in Queens, NYC during Day 2. Overall Go Fest went pretty well for me but I wasn't well prepared with my Pokemon/Item storage. I spent like 1,000 coins I grinded from gyms. Time to grind again and prepare for Go Fest 2025.
This always brings me back to the conspiracy that there are accounts that are more prone to wild shinies or raid shinies/hundos. I’ve done 4k legendary raids which isn’t crazy, but I only have 11 hundo legendaries.
I think so too. I have a friend that has gotten the shundo on every major event since he's started playing. Have two other friends that get multiple hundos every event. One of them got SIX hundo necrozmas in 130 raids.
I was in your Central Park day 2 video with a shundo. Got that in less than 10 raids. After 120 raids and one lucky trade, I ended with eight shinies and five 96/98 with backgrounds. The lucky was a 96 shiny. Can’t believe my luck compared to other events.
This has been my best gofest so far! I got 2 shiny necrozmas from 33 raids, one shiny Pheromosa with background, one shiny scarf espeon, and a bunch of other shinies!
I did just over 170 Necrozma raids. IV's were horrible for so long. Sometime close to 1am EST Sat morning I did not care about CP or stats. I just wanted Fusion energy and to creep closer to my last Platinum medal (Legendary Raids) for level 49 . Never cared to look at the IV's at that time. When I looked back at them Sunday evening I saw I had a 15,14,15 a 13,15,15 and a Hundo! They had to been caught between 2am and 5am. I was so shocked I went back to raiding 10pm Sunday night scraping the barrel for the last raids and then I had a streak of 3 shinies within 4 raids. I stopped complaining. Still in shock. NEVER TRY, JUST DO or DO NOT ... At the point of me JUST DOing ... That's how I got my Hundo.
Took me 54 raids before I encountered a shiny Necrozma and I stopped shortly thereafter. Highest IV was a 96. My partner, on the other hand, did less than 50 raids, got 5 Shinies and 1 hundo. It was wild.
I did over 50 necrozma raids and only got 3 shinys. It’s the most I ever raided for a pokemon. I just feel like this Go fest didn’t feel like a go fest just a 2 day raid day
People are really mixed on this event and that really seems to depend if they got lucky or not. I did 74 with only two 96% and nothing higher and no shinies. Absolutely devastated at my terrible luck. I feel like these big ticketed events need the raid day boosts because honestly it leave a lot of paying players feeling like they missed out.
Feel fortunate to have gotten a hundo and a shiny considering the limited amount that I played. So that will be my win from the weekend. Got a few shinies, but really wasn’t able to grind that hard.
Did a two star Necrozma for a two star Necrozma trade last night that went lucky and mine was perfect and the other one was a 98 which was easily the craziest trade I've done.
I feel for you, man. It's honestly ridiculous how contrived the stat/shiny gatekeeping is sometimes. I was having issues even getting Necrozma with 90+ IVs, and I didn't get a shiny until my last/37th raid. You doing that many raids and not getting a hundo is absurd. Sorry it was so frustrating, but I always appreciate the realness.
I caught 27 Necrozmas during Global GoFest not a single shiny or hundo the pain was real and I had to remote raid all 27 of them because i was at a convention over the weekend.
i didn't get my hundo until raid 640. i raided in NYC all 3 days and i remote raided all global weekend, i got it from a california raid 2 hours after my global day 2 ended
Yeah, I know a bunch of people that had to do an insane number of raids before they got their hundo. What annoys me more than the raid % is the lucky %. It takes forever to become lucky friends with someone and lucky trades, for me, haven't gone very well. I've done 30 lucky trades and zero hundos.
Let’s Go! 15:06, I got that exact same shiny, same stats. But my wife and I feel the same as you being very burnt out on raids. Now we will spend the next few days hitting the trade limit trying to turn our trash into luckies!
Yeah seeing the Hundo/Shundo luck ppl be having 2-12 Necrozma 4* was insane for me. 😂 I just did only 320 from Japan to yesterday’s Go Fest and only one 4* to show for it I’ve never went this hard for a legendary Pokémon it was fun but left me a little salty ngl
Oh nice I was in Japan too. Took 122 raids for my first shiny. 158 for my hundo. Got another one at 270. Went to 380. I had a friend get 6 hundos in 130 raids 😮. There needs to be a pity system or something. Or maybe an item as rare as a masterball that can increase ivs by 1.
with the ticket, i got 11 Necrozma shinies, one of them is 96% and 91% and 1 regular hundo Necrozma after doing 30 raids, the luck went through the world, best GO fest so far
My go fest experience was great, did 27 necrozma raids, 3 shinies, and one regular 98 percent, also this is my fitst go fest with over 100 wild shinies, so i guess it's all rng💀
Did 62 Necrozma raids. Got 3 shinies & 2 hundos. I've never gotten a hundo legendary from a raid before so I was pretty stoked. Did 1 Nihilego raid and got a shiny. Did a scattered dozen of the other ultra beasts and did get any shiny or hundos. Overall I thought the event was great! Got plenty of shinies in the wild too.
I did 69 necrozma raids, i got two 98%, 10 wormholes and one of those wormholes was a shiny. So i successfully got a shiny wormhole necrozma and it was the only shiny necrozma i caught. So I'm happy with the raiding i did
I feel you Billy, I too did around 330 raids and no hundo. But you got to understand that this is essentially a gambling app. While you may have been very unlucky with necrozma, think of the other extreme luck you had catching a shadow hundo and shadow shundo mewtwo.
I’ve learned with this game and its odds that you’ve Absolutely gotta be willing to switch your focus and change strategy during an event. several raids with unsatisfying results will kill your buzz and ruin the fun.
I knew I couldn’t be the only one, I did 50 raids and got 29 2 stars, and only 4 of the 3 stars were even remotely usable. My best Iv was a 94% that I did a lucky trade for. I got one shiny that was 3 points over the floor. I’m extremely disappointed and part of me definitely feels like the IVs were a lot lower purposely due to the fact that they were guaranteed catches. I’ve never done this many raids and not even got a 96 at least.
My numbers weren't that high, but out of my group of 4 people, a 92% was the highest IV, and there was only 1 shiny. This was out of a collective 200ish encounters between the 4 of us.
Pitty counter should be a thing. That's insane. I got 2 hundos in 50 then no hundo in 50 more. Got like 17 shiny though. At least youll probably get multiple in mirror trades.
I did 114 raids before getting a shiny and I went to NYC lmao great time there though I’m glad I met you keep up the great content and don’t worry about taking a break from raids I get it
Wife got shiny hundo 1st raid, 1st Necrozma raid of Gofest global. Her 1st ever and I have never got one, and we are both day 1 players. Never been more happy for her, ingame.
Me having been hunting for the hundo since NYC. My brother who arrived on day 2 at 12:30, first raid pulls a 98% shiny. Second raid, hundo. Literally in what would be the normal amount of passes beyond the bonus amounts we get in the ticket and he basically finished his two fusions in what for me was a week+. Happy for him, but 150 necorzma later and best i have are 3 96s, all without 15 attack to some extent
I powered up my Annihilape for the power up 10 Ghost and 10 Fighting. Made that step a lot easier. I have to admit that I was one of the lucky ones on Sunday. I had 7 shiny Necrozma out of 30 raids, with my best being a 96% 15/14/14. Happy for the shinies but disappointed that I did not get a hundo.
As always love your content. Sad you didn’t get the hundo but way to be honest and follow your own advice! I’m sure you’ll get one with lucky trades! 🍀
I traveled to the Santa Monica pier for go fest and did a total of 216 raids over both days. I got one hundo xurkitree and 4 98% necrozmas. Thank goodness I remote raided a hundo necrozma from Sendai.
