Summary
APokemon GOplayer was incredibly lucky and captured special variants of Regigigas and Regirock back to back.Pokemon GOplayers encounter many critters in the wild, but when it comes to Legendaries, their availability is more limited, almost always locked to raid battles.
Regirock and Regigigas are two monsters introduced in Generations 3 and 4 that are part of the group ofPokemon known as the Legendary Titans. With designs reminiscent of a golem, Regigigas created the group that includes Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Regidrago, and Regieleki and is often considered its leader. Like the other Titans, the Normal-type Legendary has a pattern of dots on its forehead that resembles an arrow pointing upwards. Regirock, on the other hand, has a dotted pattern in the shape of an H and used to be worshiped by humans, until they began to fear its power and sealed it away. Showing incredible luck, onePokemon GOplayer shared their lucky encounter with the duo.
On thePokemon GOsubreddit, user ciphershadowriley shared two incredible captures they got in a row:Shiny Shadow Regigigasand Shiny Shadow Regirock. The screenshots show an encounter with the Regigigas with a CP 2451, and the Regirock with a CP 1712. In the post, they explain that the Legendary duo’s IVs “aren’t very good,” although they didn’t give any more details. Still, they were very happy, saying that it only took them “six or seven raids” to get these impressive acquisitions.
