Anyone who is part of the Pokémon GO community will likely have come across the terms “Hundo” and “Shundo”. Here at MeinMMO, we will show you what these words mean and what other abbreviations you should be aware of in this context.
What terms are we talking about? In recent years, various terms have established themselves in the Pokémon GO community, which serve as a kind of abbreviations for describing specific monsters. Two of them are “Hundo” and “Shundo”. We have summarized the meanings of these words for you below.
These are Hundos and Shundos
The two most commonly used abbreviations in Pokémon GO are the terms “Hundo” and “Shundo”. Even though these two words could easily pass as Pokémon names, they each describe a specific category of monsters.
Hundos: Pokémon GO trainers understand the abbreviation “Hundo” to refer to all monsters that have a perfect rating. This means that their IV is 100%. The term is derived from the English word “hundred”.
These monsters are highly sought after by most players because they are not easy to find. Especially the best attackers in Pokémon GO achieve strong attack, stamina, and defense values through their perfect rating, which is particularly beneficial in raids.
To find out if you own any Hundos, you can simply use the search filter “4*”.
By the way: One trainer caught 100 Hundos and explains how he found them.
Shundos: If you have managed to discover not just a Hundo, but even a Shundo in the game, you can consider yourself particularly lucky. These are even a bit rarer. The term again includes the root of the English word “hundred” and also indicates a monster with a perfect rating.
But that’s not all; the “S” before “Hundo” stands for the word Shiny. These are so-called shiny Pokémon, which differ visually from their normal form. They can usually be easily recognized by a different color. For example, a Gyarados is usually blue and its shiny form is red.
Are there any other such terms?
Yes, two more terms that often appear in social networks and in conversations with trainers are “Shlundo” and “Nundo”.
What is a Shlundo? In addition to collecting Pokémon, trainers can also trade monsters with each other. And this function is crucial for securing a so-called Shlundo. However, it requires a good amount of luck, as the IV of a monster changes randomly when traded.
If you trade a shiny specimen with your trainer friend, then with a bit of luck, you could again receive one with a perfect rating, and thus end up with a Shundo. If this trade also becomes a so-called lucky trade, through which you receive a lucky Pokémon, you finally have a Shlundo. The “L” in the word is derived from the English term “luck”.
Two trainers recently experienced such a trade and had double the luck. What exactly happened can be found in our following article:
What is a Nundo? The Nundo is, on the other hand, the absolute opposite of the previous descriptions, as these monsters are literally absolute zeros. They have an IV of 0% or a 0-star rating and offer practically nothing. Nevertheless, like Hundos, they are incredibly rare in the game and are therefore collected by some players.
Do you also use these terms when talking to other trainers about your haul? And how many Hundos, Shundos, Shlundos, and Nundos have you managed to catch in the game? Feel free to let us know here at MeinMMO in the comments and discuss with other trainers.
At the moment, even trade averse players should utilize the feature for a short time. Why trading can be worthwhile has been summarized for you.
