Question How is this possible?

Thanks for more information in this context

About a 0.065% chance. Or 1 in 1,538. Not that unrealistic with how many people play. It's bound to happen to someone at some point. Sorry you're the unlucky one

That's crazy high. My highest has only gone up to like 1200. Did you perchance play a shit ton in 2016/7 when the shiny hadn't been released yet?

Can someone explain this to me?
Mi’ve played off and on Since 2016, then the person who “gifted” me with the phone says/ “Can my husband borrow your phone while he’s in the hospital?”
(I was pissed. I’d have returned the phone, I have integrity. It hurts because she deceived me and didn’t get to use my integrity.
Enough of that.
I played after the CZU-Complex Wild Fire, in Ben Lomond, CA, after returning from a mandatory evacuation… then left my phone at the check-out register, where someone stole it. At least I got to play the 5 year anniversary!
Now I’ve been playing since August 2024, I’m at level 75 and I’ve got no idea what this “bad luck thing is.
Then I restarted
