Now that I'm a bit more versed with the game I decided to figure out just how "rare" Shiny Lugia really is. My conclusion was that a guaranteed Shiny Lugia would cost just under 20 Million tokens, less than half of what Shiny Manaphy costs. The catch is you have to have double its cost in order to actually do it. Here's the math if you're interested:



Now, the easiest way to farm consistent and guaranteed tokens is to play the Concentration game on Hard. I can usually get it in under 18 misses = 5000 token gain on average each time (that's without using a chart of any kind). This means you can farm 5k tokens per 90 seconds.

Tokens needed to pay for guaranteed Shiny Lugia: 42.5 million
Tokens per 90 seconds farmed : 5000
Total time to farm enough tokens to BUY Shiny Lugia : 12,750 minutes or 531 hours spent in the Game Center ugh. On a side note that's 8500 times you'd need to play Concentration.

So ... it'll take a while however remember that if you go for Shiny Lugia first, you'll then have about 20 million tokens already available towards Shiny Manaphy (or just buy one of the shiny dogs).

That's it. I was bored so enjoy.

Did you take into account that one can only buy 10,000 tickets per daily lottery draw?
