Ever wondered how to snag those elusive and rare Pokémon in Pokémon GO? You’re not alone! Catching rare Pokémon is a thrilling part of the game that adds an extra layer of excitement.

So, how exactly do you catch rare Pokémon in Pokémon GO? Let’s dive into that, shall we?

The Simple Answer: Patience and Strategy

Finding and catching rare Pokémon in Pokémon GO involves a mix of patience, strategy, and a little bit of luck. These Pokémon don’t appear as often as the common ones, so you need to be prepared to act fast when they do.

First things first, keep your game app open as much as possible. Rare Pokémon tend to appear in specific locations depending on their type. For example, water-type Pokémon are more likely to appear near bodies of water. Be ready to venture out to different locations and explore new areas!

Use In-Game Tools and Community Events

Make use of lure modules and incense to attract Pokémon to your location. Additionally, participating in community events or raids can significantly increase your chances of encountering rare Pokémon. These events often feature specific Pokémon, including some of the rarer ones, making it the perfect opportunity to catch them.

Connecting with the local Pokémon GO community through social media or forums can also provide valuable tips on where rare Pokémon have been spotted. Being active and engaged with the community is key to catching those sought-after Pokémon.
