A frustrated Pokemon GO player managed to catch an ultra-rare shiny Giratina, but unfortunately, it fell just short of having perfect stats. Despite this minor setback, Giratina remains one of the most powerful legendaries in Pokemon GO. With maxed-out Defense and HP, it is still likely to be a formidable addition to any team, even with a slightly lacking Attack stat.

Since its launch in 2016, Pokemon GO has demonstrated remarkable resilience, continually expanding its content with a range of new features, including limited-time events and new Pokemon from various generations. The game continues to thrive for many reasons, notably its community-driven raid battles, which are essential for capturing many legendary Pokemon.

Reddit user skyejedi27 shared an image of their impressive catch on the game's official subreddit, showcasing the shiny Giratina with nearly perfect stats: both Defense and HP maxed out, but falling just short in the Attack category. Capturing this Pokemon likely required a significant investment of time and effort in raid battles, leading to disappointment over its near-perfection.

Commenters shared their own experiences of similar catches, many also boasting shiny Giratina with near-perfect stats, and expressed their frustration at the challenge of achieving the elusive perfect stats. While the stats are still impressive, without perfection across the board, the Pokemon may struggle to compete in the Pokemon GO Master League, where players often use “perfect” Pokemon.

The Pokemon series features a vast array of creatures for fans to choose from, and while some are more viable than others, nearly all can be trained to suit various play styles. However, base stats can only be improved up to a certain limit determined by a Pokemon’s "individual values."

Obtaining powerful Pokemon with perfect IVs is notoriously challenging, often requiring a tremendous amount of time and dedication from players. The frustration of striving for a "perfect" Pokemon can lead to disillusionment with the game's mechanics, particularly regarding spawn rates and raids in Pokemon GO.
