Shiny Rayquaza

I had a tender mercy a couple months ago and Angeles told me to write it down so I don't forget it, so I've been meaning to write this for a little bit.

In the world of Pokemon, Rayquaza is a really powerful legendary dragon. He looks cool, is strong, and is just awesome. In Pokemon Go, Rayquaza is the best dragon-type attacker (although is does also depend on whom he's fighting, but I do tend to care a lot more about offense than defense in this game).

One the left is a normal Rayquaza and on the right is a "shiny" Rayquaza. When talking about pokemon, "shiny" really just means a different color. And this shiny is so cool! And basically Shinies are rare. During raids in Pokemon Go the chances are increased a great deal to 5% (or so I've heard).

So one day playing Pokemon Go I saw that someone got a 100% IV weather boosted Rayquaza from a raid. I mentioned to Angeles that that was really awesome, but I would still feel kind of bummed that it wasn't shiny. I also felt like that'd be too much to ask for. Then I was invited to do a Rayquaza raid and I joined. From it I caught a 100% weather boosted shiny Rayquaza with the best move-set to top it off! I could've changed the move-set if I needed to, but it seemed like the cherry on top to show that God was the one who blessed me with it :) After doing a little research, I found that the chances of this happening was 1/25920 or 0.0039%. That's crazy! And I think a big part of how I know it was a tender mercy from God was because not two hours before I was talking about how I wanted one and how unlikely it was to happen! It's a testament to me of how God is always aware and listening to us. He loves us. And I know Pokemon Go is just a game, but it's a game I enjoy and that's what matters I think. If I enjoy it, if it matters to me, then it matters to a God who loves me.

There have been other times when I feel like I've been blessed in the game, but this was just outstanding! I have a 100% IV Lucario too, which is super awesome! :)

(I feel like I need to say that I don't own the pictures of Rayquaza... just to be on the safe side... but I'd be surprised if it was a problem...)
