While some trainers may have seen the 20,000 Pokémon stat and wondered how lucky that was, one trainer in the comments broke down the estimated odds to make things a little clearer.
“Just so you know, this is very lucky. The normal chance of catching a Shundu is 1/100 thousand. The vast majority of players have never caught a Shundu much higher than your catch count. It was your lucky day,” they said.
It’s worth noting that these odds also take into account that the Shundo were caught on Community Day, which boosted the otherwise glamorous odds.

Fans in the comments congratulated the player on his rare catch and pointed to his records to set the record straight. 44k checked in. Shundo, JJ, was not tagged on Coach, while another said, “Congratulations!” I don’t have any shundu after 55k caught.
As the OP mentioned in the thread, these stats take into account how rare shundo are. Pokemon Go trainers are still chasing the perfect Shiny, and they shouldn’t give up hope even if the odds seem against them.
