Rare find: Player captures 2 Shiny Galarian Legendary birds with one incense.
Envious players: Others congratulate but envy player’s extraordinary luck.
Unprecedented luck: Chances of such an encounter are slim, making it a unique experience.

A Pokemon GO player has achieved something that many thought was impossible, catching not one but two Shiny Galarian Legendary birds with a single Daily Adventure Incense. The catches have made many players envious, considering how rare the birds can be in Pokemon GO.

In Pokemon GO, players can get a Daily Adventure Incense for free every day that they play the game. This unique incense form can draw in Pokemon to the player’s location so long as they’re moving. Under normal circumstances, players have to use their Daily Adventure Incense for a chance at finding Galarian Legendary birds in Pokemon GO. However, using the incense is no guarantee they’ll show up, and many players have only rarely seen them, if at all. That may make finds like this frustrating for some fans.

Pokemon GO Accidentally Reveals Upcoming Legendary Dynamax Raids

Pokemon GO seemingly reveals upcoming limited-time Max Battles featuring three of Kanto’s most popular and beloved Legendary Pokemon.

Reddit user RyBull shared their incredible find with fellow fans on the Pokemon GO subreddit. In the post, they revealed that they used their Daily Adventure Incense and not only encountered but captured a Shiny Galarian Articuno and a Shiny Galarian Zapdos. The screenshots prove it, showing that the Pokemon GO player managed to capture 16 Pokemon in total while using their incense.

Pokemon GO Players Envy Legendary Luck

As one can imagine, other players in the comments have congratulated RyBull, but many are also extremely envious of their new captures. Players especially expressed surprise at the fact that RyBull was able to catch both of the birds, as their capture rate is low, and Daily Adventure Incense only has a 15-minute timer, providing players don’t use a Roar of Time extension. However, RyBull was well-prepared for an encounter like this, as they explained that they didn’t take any chances, using Master Balls to capture both of the Pokemon.

While Galarian Legendary birds can’t flee once they’ve been encountered, that doesn’t mean they’re easy to capture. Many players have resorted to using Master Balls to grab the Pokemon, but considering how rare Master Balls are in Pokemon GO, it’s not a solution that every player can implement. RyBull noted that they had no idea what the odds were of having a moment like this, and there’s a strong likelihood that this may be the luckiest experience they ever have playing Pokemon GO. With Daily Adventure Incense spawns largely up to luck and random chance, players would be hard-pressed to have a better experience than this in the game.
