Pokémon GO Weekly Stats Comparison (Part 4)

Welcome to Part 4 of my Pokémon GO weekly stats comparison. Every week of Pokémon GO brings another chance to catch more Pokémon, catch shinies, find those elusive perfect IV Pokémon, win more raids, explore further, increase your Stardust count, and make progress toward your next goals.

For this week’s comparison, we look at two consecutive seven-day periods: Tuesday, September 8 to Monday, September 14, 2026, and Tuesday, September 15 to Monday, September 21, 2026. The goal is simple: see how my gameplay activity changed from one week to the next and identify the areas where the biggest improvements happened.

If you missed the third part and you want to check it out, see Pokémon GO Weekly Stats Comparison (Part 3).

New stats will be included in this part of the comparison. This will serve as a starting point for what I will compare them with in part 5 of this weekly comparison.

Let’s take a closer look at the numbers.

Wow! This is definitely a terrible stats-based week. This is mainly because I did not play at the level I usually play Pokémon GO. This is because I was mostly shiny-hunted Charmander wearing Friede’s goggles. I did a couple of raids featuring Charizard wearing Friede’s goggles.

This week is the complete opposite of the previous week, where all the stats were positive except for raiding.

🐾 Pokémon Caught Weekly Stats Comparison

The number of Pokémon caught decreased from 2,754 to 2,394, representing a 32.07% decrease.

That’s a reduction of 360 Pokémon caught compared with the previous week.

Several factors can influence a higher catch total, including increased time spent playing, favorable wild spawns, events, Spotlight Hours, Incense, Lures, or simply spending more time exploring areas with high PokéStop density.

It is obvious I did not grind during the week of Sep 15–21.

✨ Shiny Catches for the Weekly Stats Comparison

Catching shinies is always a fun experience in Pokémon GO. The surprise from tapping on a Pokémon and seeing it sparkle is always good. However, when you start comparing your shiny catches, you find out that it is no fun if the shiny rate is low.

The previous week was NOT a good shiny-catch week. I caught 8 shinies. That’s a 20 shiny reduction in comparison with the previous week. That’s a 71.43% decrease.

These are the 8 shiny Pokémon caught.

1 Shiny Scatterbug (Elegant), caught on September 15 from Postcard pinning.
1 Shiny Scatterbug (Modern), caught on September 17 from Postcard pinning.
1 Shiny Charizard wearing Friede’s goggles with the Pokémon Horizons: The Series Celebration Event background, caught on September 18 from a raid.
1 Shiny Charmander wearing Friede’s goggles, caught on September 18 in the wild.
1 Shiny Shadow Thundurus (Incarnate Forme), caught on September 18 from a raid.
1 Shiny Wingull, caught on September 20 in the wild.
1 Shiny Bewear with Wild Area 2025 event background, caught on September 20 via lucky trade.

💯 Hundo Caught for the Weekly Stats Comparison

Now for the statistic every collector loves to see: Hundos.

A “Hundo” is the community term for a Pokémon with perfect 15/15/15 Individual Values (IVs). In Pokémon GO’s appraisal system, a perfect Pokémon receives a four-star appraisal.

This week, the number of Hundos caught decreased from 10 to 2. That’s an 8 perfect Pokémon reduction and an 80.00% decrease.

These are the 2 Hundo Pokémon caught.

2 Hundo Scatterbug (High Plains), caught on September 19 and 21 from pinning Postcards.

⚔️ Raid Performance Weekly Stats Comparison

Raid activity performed well this week!

The number of raids won increased from 8 to 20, representing a 150.00% increase. That’s an increase of 12 raid victories compared to the week before.

More raid participation can also contribute to additional XP, Pokémon encounters, Candy, and opportunities to hunt for high-IV or shiny raid bosses. I’ll see if I can increase my raiding this coming week.

🚶 Walking & Exploration Weekly Stats Comparison

Pokémon GO is built around exploration, and the walking statistics show another positive trend.

My distance walked decreased from 77.6 km to 54.2 km, a 30.15% decrease. That represents a decrease of 23.4 kilometers traveled during the week.

PokéStop activity also decreased, with visits going down from 1,258 to 1,041. That’s a 17.25%% decrease. This is a decrease of 217 PokéStops visits.

💰 Stardust Weekly Stats Comparison

Stardust is one of the most valuable resources in Pokémon GO. Whether you’re powering up a favorite Pokémon, unlocking a second Charged Attack, building a competitive PvP roster, or preparing a Legendary for battle, Stardust can disappear quickly.

This week, the Stardust earned decreased significantly from 502,667 to 28,633, representing a -94.30% change. That’s a loss of 474,034 Stardust.

This loss is mainly because I powered up the hundo Chesnaught (with Mega Pokémon background) I got from the Mega Ascension Event GO Pass

⭐ XP & Level Progress Weekly Stats Comparison

It is not surprising that the XP earned followed a downward trend.

Weekly XP gains decreased from 2,865,567 to 2,747,605. A decrease of 4.12%

That’s a 117,962 XP missed compared with the previous week.

Because my catch activity reduced (dropping 360 fewer Pokémon caught), I missed out on the XP associated with catching Pokémon, alongside fewer Friendship level-ups and Lucky Egg optimizations.
