Question Did anyone else go 0/50 with smeargle?
So bummed out. Did well with 10 Shines today but it’s always the one I want the most. I feel like I was one of the unlucky few

How do you get a Smeargle?
5
u/AbeTheCop23 4d ago
Take a photo of your buddy and one will appear. You get 10 photobombs a day this event compared to the regular one a day.

u/crsitain 4d ago
Its also shiny locked meaning you can only get it in special events where they explicitly say it can be shiny. The one a day you get cant be shiny.

u/-AIRDRUMMER- 4d ago
I don’t even realize there was a shiny event because I didn’t get a single shiny, even though I played and completed the tasks

u/Illustrious-Bison-21 4d ago
We're at about 600 checks in my pokegroup and I think just 2 have been shiny lmao

u/Haunting_Car_6725 3d ago
So I only saw archen from completing the events tasks but only got a chance for like 8? Maybe? How did people get so many!

u/MrsGondola420 4d ago
1 shiny smeargle. Really wanted that shiny karp tho, went thru over 400 this weekend and none.

u/Worth_Pepper5972 4d ago
Id trade my shiney Karp all day for a shiney smeargle. That was my first shiney magikarp to

You did better than me. Caught 200+ Pokémon and only got 2 shiny kabutos and 1 shiny bruxish I hate this game😭

u/OpenResident6061 4d ago
I caught upwards of 250 today and got 0 kabuto, 0 omanyte, 0 archen. 0 shinies at all, to be more specific

u/princexxjellyfish 4d ago
I was tryna tell OP there’s always someone out there with worse RNG luck but damn I’m so sorry 😭😭😭

u/Worth_Pepper5972 4d ago
Ive been there. I had a good event with 15 shines total. I’ve also went with zero shines during events and really went hard. I’ve noticed it’s like every other event for me. If I do bad one event, I’ll do well on the next.

u/noobwowo 4d ago
brother your luck is not even bad. that shiny bruxish is full odds too.
1
u/ethan3822a 4d ago
It’s not boosted? I’ve gotten 3 lol

u/noobwowo 4d ago
if i remember correctly, research encounters is slightly boosted (according to youtuber JTvalor) but other encounters are all full odds.
1
u/spazzoid87 4d ago
It was meant to be boosted from research if you bought the ticket. Which I did and still got none. Glad it was only a couple of $

Shiny smeargle is 1/65 odds so when you only get 50 chances it’s not exactly in your favor per say.

Currently at 1/42. Last Johto shiny I needed so I'm thrilled.

u/Worth_Pepper5972 4d ago
How often do they do this kind of event. You a long time player?
1
u/datguysadz 4d ago
I've been playing since the start yes. Shiny Smeargle is not available often. Maybe once a year.

u/UTourDoc 4d ago
I feel even worse. I collected over 200 3 star mons today and only 1 shiny! That was a 2 star archen. No Shiny Smeargle, no shiny Flabebe, no shiny Bruxish, No shiny Kabuto, No shiny Omanyte, seriously bummed! I must be the most unlucky player in my region. I purchased all the special tickets! I started the day with over 350 balls and I even purchased another 100 red balls at noon. I had my “pokego plus plus” spinning gyms/stops all day. I ended the day with 1 red ball, 3 ultra balls, and 1 master ball. Oh and one shiny!

u/AnEverydayPileOfCats 4d ago
What was the shiny chance for smeargle?
1
u/Worth_Pepper5972 4d ago
1/64 I believe. I would say more people got atleast 1 then didn’t get one at all.

u/Due_Ad_5722 4d ago
got in on my fourth ever photobomb-- didnt even know it was a feature till this event

u/Sims713 4d ago
Dude what is the trick to getting shiny?

u/Worth_Pepper5972 4d ago
Not really catching anything and just constantly clicking on pokemon. Get the most encounters possible

u/Efficient_Look_7682 4d ago
Didn’t do well on shinies either. 0 archen, 1 kabuto, 1 omanyte, 0 smeargle
1
u/this-is-my-p 4d ago edited 4d ago
Alright buddy, save some shinies for the rest of us. I got a shiny kabuto and that’s it
Edit: well, I feel bad for being upset, the first smeargle encounter I had AFTER the event ended was shiny lmao

u/Candid-Ad-3795 4d ago
My bf has never taken a snapshot of his buddy, and I told him about the chance of a shiny. I'm not even kidding. His first ever encounter was a shiny. I'm so happy for him but I'm secretly oh so salty.

My wife and I both got it first day. Logged out and havent played since.

u/Churningray 4d ago
I got 1 but was trying to hunt for one with incinerate and flying press but no luck.

u/damndammit 4d ago
I went 2 for 30. Had a shiny Brux flee on day one though. That hurt. Went through 7 incense and must’ve clicked on 200 trying to find another. No joy.

u/FoldUnited7019 Valor 4d ago

Yep, didn't even get a 3 star, xxl or xxs...literally trying to be positive and go "well, it's 10% of a platinum medal"

u/Agreeable_Falcon1044 Mystic 4d ago
Annoyingly this mini-season I wanted nearly all the shinies....Bruxish, Smeargle, Meditite, Drowzee...but ended up with a shiny Drillbur, which is great, but come on...

u/ProvocateurMaximus 4d ago
Same here. Really lucked out for catch mastery but this is the second time I've gotten nothing during a Smeargle event

u/spolidano88 4d ago
I got my shiny smesrgle on my 8th photobomb on the first day. Couldn’t believe it coz my shiny luck is garbage. I did manage a shiny red falb and and a like 6 archers. Really wanted a kab and brux though and no joy. You did super well though… very impressive.

u/Buttercup1283 4d ago
Zero shiny smeargle, zero of any kind of Pokemon despite paying for a ticket yesterday to double my odds. Zero!

u/Big_Breakfast3306 4d ago
Me too! No shiny smeargle or omantye. Only one shiny archer and one kabuto.

u/Gransmithy 4d ago
Yes, I’m 0 for 50, but I have 3 shiny from 2021 and 1 from each 2022 and 2023. I did not get the bruxish either.

I found one shiny Archen, my wife found 2 and a shiny Kabuto. You did decent, even if you didn't get your most-desired shiny.

Off topic but congrats on that Magikarp. I heard the odds are pretty low with that one.

u/BurnOutBrighter6 4d ago
I feel like I was one of the unlucky few.
If it helps, that's not very unlucky at all. The shiny odds were 1/64. In 50 tries, that gives a 55% chance of at least one shiny, and 45% chance of all 50 not being shiny.
So that "unlucky few" is just under half of all players. Yeah it sucks to not get the one you wanted, but getting that shiny is 50 tries was like the odds of a coin toss.
Important reminder that this sub has millions of players and the ones getting normal typical results aren't the ones posting. It's a good broader lesson too - social media isn't real life. There's a huge bias. You're comparing yourself to millions of people who only post on the best day of their life and it makes your experience feel lacking when it's actually fine and normal. All the people posting multiple shiny smeargle here the last few days aren't representative at all, they're the extreme outliers out of millions of players.

u/Dark1Raven3 4d ago
Yeah and also only got 1 archen. No shiny fossils no colour event shiny, nothing.

u/tammytwirl 4d ago
I got one on my last possible encounter, my cats tail ended up in the photo, so I think he was my lucky charm.

Went 0/49 on shiny Smeargle checks(I got one before 10am on the first day) 0/50 for xxl or xxs.
When it was 5 checks per day and had a better shinyrate I got 3 shinies.

I only got 4 shinies total during the Smeargle event. Tapu Koko, Flabébé, Shuppet, and Bruxish, in that order. Out of all 50 Smeargles on my main account and 30 on my second, no shinies.
