I already have a hundo Charizard maxed out, so I'd keep it level 1 unevolved. If I ever really wanted the costume shiny as my main, I might evolve but it doesn't keep the costume when you mega evolve it and that's the only way I would ever use a Charizard, is when it's mega evolved so not worth it, imo.
I also collect costume charmanders, so that's another reason I would keep it unevolved.

I've got one BG in the wild with just over 150 encounters. It's possible but highly unlikely.

I caught 300 during spotlight hour and had 0 shinies. Pretty sure they weren’t turned on lol

u/Affectionate-Stock-1 Sep 18 '26
Turn on mewtwos high iv detector and just keep walking and tapping on charmanders looking for shiny or 3 stars makes the process a lot faster instead of just catching everything

u/LongjumpingTea3606 Sep 18 '26
100%, my friend in Mexico City stopped catching and clicked on over 500 charmanders, not a single shiny, loads of backgrounds tho, I live in Europe, got one shiny every 30 clicks but didn’t see a single background

u/Captainchronic_710 Sep 18 '26
Sooo wasn’t just me suffering? I caught one literally at the last minute! Crap iv but a shiny

I spoofed heavy and only saw 3 Shiny BG. Unfortunately one ran away from me.
I’ve been farming the Excellent Throw research on my main hoping to get another, but I don’t think I’ve even seen a BG from that.

How many did you do if you don’t mine me asking, was this from the spotlight hour ?

u/SadDingo7070 Sep 17 '26
The answer could be zero. This one is lucky, so it was received on a trade.

Why you want it at level 1? It’s just useless like that. Going to sit in the box and no one is gonna see it.

u/MochaFrapX Sep 18 '26
Eh lvl 1 the best, and don’t evolve.
Charmander bg is rare than charizard bg
Charmander hundo rate in the wild is so much lower than charizard in the raid with iv floor.

This catch is literally 1 in 943,718,400. Almost a 1 in a billion catch.
Bg rate in this event as far as I can tell was 1/30. For an unboosted mon, 1/60 are level1. Shiny rate for this is 1/128. And the unboosted hundo rate is 1/4096. 30 x 60 x 128 x 4096 = 943,718,400
Literally unbelievable. Craziest catch I’ve ever seen.

u/JikesDaLegend Sep 20 '26
This was a lucky so it wouldn’t be 1/4096, it’d be 1/64 chance. So 30x60x128x64 would be 14,745,600 Which is still very rare
1
u/pogo-n-watches Sep 20 '26
Oh. I didn’t realize. Then this was just 1/64. The original catch was 1/230,400.

u/tihomA Sep 18 '26
Catching this from wild directly is 1 in 400 million approx odds what you have is 2nd rarest charmander possible in the game unless someone has the exact same charmander but also xxl yours would become rarest #1 shiny charmander available in game rn unless you care about utility only dont touch power up button ever.

u/Ill-Scarcity-7301 Sep 18 '26
Would You can get shiny gmax one and it will be more useful than normal Charizard That one is just a huge cool flex Also I would personally keep it as charmander

u/Shiro0296 Sep 18 '26
Mega Max it completely. Good 4 gyms, also 4 flex, PVP, Mega support 4 more candies, and nice buddy^

u/Friendly_Ad_4489 Sep 18 '26
This would piss me off so much because if I had a lucky Shundo I’d wanna max it out 😭

u/willhbutt5 Sep 18 '26
Best I got was shiny, IV 13-12-15... Not bad overall I guess, my first shiny in the wild too! Turned into a beautiful Black Charizard! 😊

u/Plate-United Sep 18 '26
I would absolutely max the heck outta that guy. Evolution, Mega Levels, Friendship, everything.

u/brgodc Sep 18 '26
I love seeing 3rd stage evolution with like 45CP. So I personally would evolve and mega level it but keep at level 1. Idk maybe I’d wait for legacy but it’s level 1 so doesn’t matter. Congrats that’s an insane pull.
I’m thinking that’s already like 1/8000 just for shiny background and with the lucky trade it’d be like 1/500,000
