Summary
APokemon GOplayer made a tragic mistake that caused them to lose their chance to catch a Galarian Legendary bird. The unfortunate mishap cost the player their opportunity, but otherPokemon GOtrainers can learn something from it.
Pokemon GO’s Galarian Legendary birdsare some of the rarest Pokemon in the game, and incredibly difficult to acquire. Some players say that they’ve never even seen a Galarian Legendary bird in the game, while others have failed to capture them time and time again. Unfortunately for this player, their excitement at spotting one was short-lived.
Reddit user andPokemon GOplayer seoulcitykid shared their experience with others, hoping to find a reason for it and to warn others to not make the same mistake. The fan was initially lucky, popping theirDaily Incenseand having a Galarian Moltres spawn as a result. Likely knowing how hard it is to catch these birds, they decided to click on a Gym to acquire a few more Poke Balls to prepare. However, despite the fact that they only spent about ten seconds in the Gym, the Galarian Moltres disappeared from the map and they lost their shot to capture it.
Pokemon GO Player Shares Important Lesson
Seoulcitykid shared their post to warn others so that they wouldn’t make the same mistake. Another fan spoke up in the comments and explained thatDaily Incense spawnsrefresh when accessing a Gym or PokeStop, as well as engaging in other Pokemon encounters. While there was a chance that the Galarian Moltres would still be there when the player exited the Gym, they weren’t that lucky, and the game put new spawns in in its place. Players noted that this technique can be used to purposefully refresh nearby Pokemon, but in this particular case, it was an unfortunate mistake, not a useful tool.
While this sad mistake cost the player their chance at a Galarian Moltres, some fans have pointed out that the odds of catching it would have been low regardless. Without a Master Ball, the difficulty of successfully capturing a Galarian Legendary bird is very high, even when using berries and other techniques. While it was a good idea to get as many Poke Balls as possible,Galarian Legendary birds have a very high flee rate, so the encounter may have ended badly regardless. With any luck, this player will get another chance from their Daily Incense soon, and this time, they’ll know not to make the same mistake.
