One incredibly lucky Pokemon player has defied all odds to get their hands on not one, but two of the rarest shiny forms in Scarlet and Violet – back to back – after almost a year of looking for the first one.
Shiny Pokemon – sparkly, alternate color palette versions of the Pokemon we all know and love – are very rare. Admittedly, Scarlet and Violet are some of the easiest Pokemon games to find shinies in, as their one in 4096 odds can be boosted all the way to just over one in 512 if you stack all the buffs available. Even at that, though, there's no overcoming the tedium of hunting for a shiny of the rarest form of Maushold.
