On Reddit, user Stonerthrowaway710 posted about the lucky encounter they had with a legendary Pokemon in the first Remote Raid they participated in forPokemon GO. In the screenshot they shared, it showcased their encounter with a shiny version of Xerneas, the game mascot of the Nintendo 3DS titlePokemon X. According to the Redditor, they had decided to try their “hand at Remote Raids for the first time,” which means their first ever experience with the feature turned out to be incredibly worth it. They also mentioned that they were able to get into the Remote Raid during the London leg ofPokemon GOFest, making their purchase for tickets and passes worth their prices.

Fellowplayers ofPokemon GOseemed to be very happy for the original poster, especially since encountering shiny Pokemon is already incredibly rare in the mobile title. Others wondered how they were able to encounter Xerneas, given that the legendary was not available in the game yet. However, one pointed out that Stonerthrowaway710 stated they were at London’sPokemon GOFest, and these types of events often give participants earlier access to Pokemon that will make its way into the game later on.

With the New York and globalPokemon GOFest legs happening really soon, players should expect to see more interesting pocket creature encounters to be posted online by the fan base. Even though some players may not have thetype of luck inPokemon GOas this one, there will always be one or another who will happily share their experience with the rest of the game’s community.
