► Business Email: thetrainerclub@viralcollab.com In this video, we dive into what really happened during Pokémon GO’s Dialga & Palkia Origin Forme Raid Day, and it’s not the shiny-filled, hundo-packed celebration trainers were hoping for. Niantic promoted the event with “boosted” shiny rates and the debut of signature moves Roar of Time (Dialga) and Spacial Rend (Palkia), but what many players experienced told a different story.
Across countless raid trains, social media reports, and personal experience, the so-called boosted shiny rates felt anything but boosted. Many trainers completed dozens of raids without seeing a single shiny, while others were lucky to get just one. The disappointment didn’t end there—zero 100% IVs for most players meant even dedicated raiders left empty-handed when it came to perfect catches.
To make matters worse, the signature moves that were supposed to be a highlight of the day—Roar of Time and Spacial Rend—were incredibly scarce. Even after multiple successful raids, many players walked away without these exclusive moves on their captured Pokémon, forcing them to burn through Elite Charged TMs if they wanted the best movesets.
We break down the mathematics of shiny rates and why this raid day felt so unrewarding compared to past “boosted” shiny events like Rayquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre. We’ll compare average shiny rate expectations to real-world reports to see if the numbers match up—or if this was another case of overly optimistic marketing.
