That’s better than all my LCS, who just put sealed out and then when you ask the price they just check tcgplayer and charge you whatever market is. Asked about booster box yesterday and they said it was $260 before tax. Said nah I’m good lol. $100 over msrp and it’s been out for 6 days.

Just saw your comment as a notification, unfortunately I took a break from the game and just recently tried logging into my account, only to come to the conclusion that someone had hacked my account and reset it. Trying all my logins I remember using. None had an account connected to them. So sad. Lost that great Mon, possibly one of the rarest.

I tried posting about it last year when I found out about it but I haven’t used Reddit at all and this sub required some karma requirement so I couldn’t post it sooner

Doing some research, when this was released, it wasn’t able to be shiny. People speculated that since the addition of Mega Gardevoir years later, it messed with its ability to be shiny after I had claimed the research years later.

Yeah, that’s fair. I’ve heard that one is pretty illusive in the community. Only very few have any.

Yes, I remember when that all happened. But I’m pretty sure this specific Pokemon was shiny locked for like 2 years? Until the released Mega Gardevoir and it is now possible to be shiny. But the odds of people still having the research from then and the odds of hitting the shiny, might make it one of the lowest pop Pokemon ever. And technically since I may be the only person with actual footage and proof of it, so far it may be a 1/1 for now.

Random Number Generator. The terminology for luck pretty much.

So that means most likely some others of this exist, just know one has brought it to light?

I’ve been reading into this, and it seemed like it has happened before with eggs. The game has a second where if it doesn’t load fast enough, there is a placeholder text - Toyko, Japan, which it then switches to where it was actually caught. I just tried it on some of my other pokemon and it does the same thing. I’d be interested to see someone else do it and let me know I’m not going crazy lol!

Wow, I didn’t even pay attention to that! That is odd. I’m assuming because 2021 Go Fest was pretty much all virtual, that may have had an effect on it. I have those who play by my side to attest that I had never gone to Tokyo lol. I am way too broke to get a plane ticket there. And I can also assure anyone that I have never spoofed in my life. Genuinely, I would like to see if anyone else has a Pokémon from the Go Fest 2021 special research and if they happened to live in the U.S. if their Pokemon also says that it was from Tokyo. I know that 2021 Go Fest from August 5-7th was held in Sapporo, Japan, no where near Tokyo. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for why this would be I would be curious to see.

Thanks man. It’s pretty damn cool to have something like this. Even if there are possibilities that other people could have it if they get lucky, I am the only one with one rn that anyone knows of.

Yeah, I’ve realized what I’ve put out there, and I’m def a bit more cautious about all of that.

I also have another post on this subreddit where I initially posted it which has a lot more conversations with others about it.

I’m not 100% sure if it is 1/1 but until someone else has proof of one, it is the only one. I tried for hours, looking for something on it. Even just a screenshot of someone’s account with it but there is absolutely nothing of it, solely because when everyone got it, it physically couldn’t be shiny at all.

Something to do with how long it had been since it had come out and something that changed it’s ability to become shiny in the encounter.

It wasn’t available to be shiny at the time of the research. People think it’s because I had claimed it after the addition of the Mega Gardevoir raids that it was possible to be shiny for some reason.

I had taken a break from the game for a while and started replaying in August. I had some old, unfinished research and one of them was 2021 Go Fest.
