Ever wondered which Pokemons are hard to find in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive into what makes a Pokemon rare in this wildly popular game.

When we talk about rare in Pokemon GO, we’re looking at those elusive Pokemons that don’t show up on your radar every day. Let’s find out which creatures are playing hard to get!

Which Pokemons are Considered Rare?

Rare Pokemons are those that appear less frequently in the wild or are only available during special events or certain conditions. These include mythical and legendary Pokemons like Mewtwo, Rayquaza, and Deoxys. Other rare finds might be regional exclusives, like Kangaskhan in Oceania or Mr. Mime in Europe, which can only be caught in specific parts of the world.

Besides these, shiny Pokemons are also considered rare. These are alternate-colored versions of Pokemons that have a very low chance of appearing. Catching a shiny Pokemon is a moment of pride for many trainers!
