Fans of Pokemon Go all over the Internet are missing out on it after the first players of Singapore's Pokémon Go Safari Zone event discovered that they could pick up two extremely rare creatures that are not available anywhere else in the world.

The two pokemons spreading on Sentosa Island – where the Safari Zone event will be held only April 18-22 – are glittering versions of Lapras and Shuckle.

In the game, a brilliant Pokemon has a different color scheme than normal, and is incredibly hard to find (with about 0.2% match rate, according to the Pokemon Go The Silph Road fan site).

Shuckle's players' screenshots became viral on Reddit on April 17 due to a flaw (later corrected) that made the Pokemon available one day before the event, while screenshots of brilliant Lapras became viral in the first hour of the event on 18 Of april.

Niantic's senior director of product marketing, Ray Adachi, confirmed that the shiny versions of Shuckle and Lapras were not available anywhere else in the world except at the Singapore Safari Zone event.

Here's what else we find in the special Pokemon event, in addition to the brilliant Pokémon:

Upon arriving at the beach resort on the island of Sentosa, we found a large map of the event with the rare Pokemon available to the participants.

They included Shuckle and Lapras, as well as Tropius, Dratini, Unown and Alolan Exeggutor.

Standees of PokeStops, which are places where players can receive free items, were scattered around the neighborhood.

Several Pokémon postulants lined up the route to the check-in point, a place where players who received a ticket to the event were able to log in and start picking up special Pokémon.

There were flags with the top three teams Pokemon Go: Value, Mystic and Instinct.

Another area featured the leaders of the three teams, Candela, Blanche and Spark – alongside Professor Willow, the character who gives players the first Pokémon in the game.

Although the event only started at 10am on Thursday (April 18), eager fans have already gathered at the check-in site at 9:30 AM.

Business Insider Understand that some were already there by 7:00.

Niantic's marketing director, Adachi, said Singapore has one of the highest percentages of Pokémon Go players by population size.

A representative of Niantic said Business Insider that although many players had voted for tickets to the event, only 125,000 tickets were eventually ensure crowd control and enough mobile bandwidth for players.

About 80% of the tickets were successfully collected by Singaporeans, and the remaining 20% went to regional tourists who attended the event, the representative said.

Adachi said that due to being a town without rural areas, Singapore had an incredibly dense concentration of PokeStops, making the game more fun for players.

First, we visited a booth distributing paper visors with a Pikachu motif.

There were also stalls where players from the same team could meet.

Upon entering the game, we saw the check-in point prominently displayed on Sentosa.

Due to the huge number of players, the island's PokeStops were filled with baits, which are a game item used to make Pokemon appear more often.

The pink confetti denotes an attraction. All Sentosa PokeStops had baits.

We quickly stumbled upon our first rare Pokémon, a Shuckle. Unfortunately this was not brilliant.

We also found a Tropius, which is a Pokémon typically unique to players in Africa, and rarely found in Singapore.

Continuing along the beach, we find an inflatable Lapras six feet high in the waters of Palawan beach.

Fans invaded the beach to make selfies with the inflatable, which is also one of the three mascots of the Singapore Pokémon Center at the Jewel Changi Airport.

Adachi told the Business Insider that Lapras was chosen for the inflatable, as well as being one of the two brilliant pokémons, since it was a type of water, which fit the theme of Sentosa Island.

We found a Lapras in the game close to its "real life" counterpart (unfortunately, not a bit bright) and an exolucan alolan in the middle of coconut trees.

We also come across the rare Unown – which are shaped like Pokemon like letters of the alphabet or punctuation marks.

For this event, the Unown available were the letters of the word "Sentosa".

An "E" without owner and an "S" without owner.

Other water Pokémon we saw included Slowpoke, Piplup, Dratini and Luvdisc.

Also on the beach was a photo of three Pikachu mascots: one in raincoat, one in Hawaiian costume, and a third in what appeared to be a martial arts outfit.
