While it’s hard enough to find some regional Pokemon, one lucky trainer hit the jackpot by finding a shiny version of a particularly scarce coral creature.
The whole point of Pokemon Go is getting out there and exploring the world, but a few Pokemon are only available in specific countries and not everyone can afford to hop on a flight to fill up the Pokedex. It turns out “Gotta Catch ‘Em All” was actually about air miles.

User PokeGolem commented underneath the post saying “All shiny regional Pokemon are pretty rare. Congratulations, what a beautiful find!”
Thankfully Corsola isn’t always this difficult to find, and Pokemon Sword and Shield players can grab the coral-bleached version known as Galarian Corsola without flying to the tropics.
