Genesect is pretty rare as well. Available in a paid research over 4 years ago, and for free if you completed 4 other timed research maybe six months after that.
It's also not tradeable.

I have a GL Krookadile.
You only get 1 sandile from the level 45 special research.
You have to find someone who hasn't shredded it, traded it/powered it up, and have low friendship when trading it for it to roll under.
Also this thing was really good in GBL limited metas even before the brick break buffs.
That's pretty rare! I do think it will be featured next year during go fest though, last year featured pawniard which had released the year before shiny and pancham was featured this year, being shiny eligible last year. Sandile was this year's new shiny, so if the pattern follows it would be featured during go fest

My Shaymin (Sky Forme) is g4 (out of 216). Got lucky with the IVs. It's glassy yet so strong. My Giratina (Origin Forme) is g2138 (out of 3375). That's all I could do, which is why I haven't touched it yet.
That's pretty good! I lucked out and got a rank 225 Giratina Origin on my second trade for it. While my Sky forme shaymin is a rank 27, it does have hidden power grass which you used to have to run on it. Also run seed flare on shaymin, grass knot has the same DPE as energy ball and energy ball only adds on a 10% defense drop chance, seed flare is better into bulky pokemon, especially with the 40% chance for -2 defense
Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well

Have three. Have built the Rank 7 non-shadow but not seen it back to the top of a meta recently so not gone back to these.
Non of these have shadow bone however, so need to get out the ETMs
He's decent on lead, it's definitely hard to team build around him. probably best with altaria and azumarill, gives the team some bulk and they both cover its weaknesses
I believe so. They range from 1605 to 1643 CP. Caught in 2019, all 10/10/10+ IV and never traded
Edit - looks like one actually came from some sort of timed research in February 2021. Same difference, but might be available to a couple more people
Edit edit: 2021 ho-oh came from a rocket themed special research that lasted a week I believe- assume you could only get one. It is NOT shadow, but it does have legacy earthquake so that's neat
I hope you can find someone who wants them in your area! I think earthquake is the recommended move too, its just bad because 3 incinerates generate 60 energy and Earthquake is 65 Energy.
Damn, I rly overlooked the field research during sinnoh tour. I'm looking for a decent Hisuian Avalugg since months, not for GL but for MLP. But wouldn't mind having it and Kleaver for GL.
I am a noob so i only have one of those, shaymin. Even if you give shaymin a coverage move it is just awful.

Yeah, but Most trades for kartana do go under the cp cap, I’ve done 2 and both went under the CP cap. In an active community they are pretty easy to find.
That’s only like a 10% chance of happening, that sucks. It took me 5 trades to get my shiny great league cresselia, and the one that went under was lvl 15 from the road to sinnoh timed research
we had regirock in research not long ago and anyone who completed it had a 100% chance of getting a great league regirock. while its not necessarily common it's definitely not as rare as the ones on this list
I am forever grateful for my less-than-awful IVs shiny shadow AWak.
I love mine sooo much
I've got a Rank 1 Shadow AWak and I love it!

That's a pretty rare one too, I completely forgot about it. It will probably be released again at lvl 15 for unova tour though.
Still bitter I couldn't get a Giratina-O to fit in GL.
Yeah, most players in my area didn't finish that quest or transered it because low c CP and they don't care about GBL.
If it makes you feel better, the very first one I traded was shiny and had relatively pvp ivs.
def still not to late, i got mine couple days ago

I really really want a shundo dustox.
I never even thought to trade mine, fuck.

Remember, ranks only compare to other giratinas, if it’s a rare Pokémon to see in pvp then IVs matter even less. Build that shit and fuck it up👍

Have built the Rank 7 non-shadow but not seen it back to the top of a meta recently so not gone back to these. Non of these have shadow bone however, so need to get out the ETMs
I have half of these. Shaymin sky, hisuian avalugg, shadow Alolan marowak, giratina and heatran.
What's your peak rank
Legend
I have that Heatran with amazing IVs... But I just can't figure out how to use him.
He's decent on lead, it's definitely hard to team build around him. probably best with altaria and azumarill, gives the team some bulk and they both cover its weaknesses
Here I was trying to think of a way to use him as a closer due to fairly strong charge moves.
Got excited about Ho-oh then realized mine is shadow
Well, I have 6 ho-ohs eligible to trade. Who wants to be good friends? Lol
That’s the one I’m hunting now along with rayray. You have 6 at lvl 15?
I believe so. They range from 1605 to 1643 CP. Caught in 2019, all 10/10/10+ IV and never traded Edit - looks like one actually came from some sort of timed research in February 2021.

Gogoat hasn't had a full release neither have various Rotom
I wanted to only include Pokemon that were rare for great league and not just rare in general, that’s why I didn’t want to include these pokemon
Yayyy I have Shadow Awak!
I am a noob so i only have one of those, shaymin. Even if you give shaymin a coverage move it is just awful. [https://pvpoke.com/battle/multi/1500/all/shaymin\_sky/11/16-2-AIR\_CUTTER/2-1/](https://pvpoke.com/battle/multi/1500/all/shaymin_sky/11/16-2-AIR_CUTTER/2-1/)
I mean it could be a little better if they gave it Aerial Ace, but it would always just be a worse jumpluff/tropius
I don't think it learns Ariel ace
Pretty sure it does in Legends Arceus
I was wondering where the hell people got Shadow Alolan Marrowak.
Wasn't Kartana fairly rare for GL too?
Yeah, but Most trades for kartana do go under the cp cap, I’ve done 2 and both went under the CP cap. In an active community they are pretty easy to find.
I traded five. FIVE times for GL Gira. And never got one under 1500🙃
That’s only like a 10% chance of happening, that sucks. It took me 5 trades to get my shiny great league cresselia, and the one that went under was lvl 15 from the road to sinnoh timed research
