Hang On, Did Someone Spill the Rare Candy? Pokémon GO's Gone a Bit Wonky!
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Pokémon GO players are reporting rare Skiddo and Gogoat spawns in the wild, likely due to a glitch, which means it's time to burn some Ultra Balls and Golden Razz Berries before Niantic squashes the bug!
Right, listen up, Pokémon GO trainers! It seems Niantic's coding cauldron might have bubbled over, because players are reporting some *seriously* unusual spawns. Remember Skiddo and its evolution Gogoat? Those grassy blokes that were supposed to be exclusive to special events? Well, they're popping up in the wild like weeds, and during the Water Festival, no less!
According to reports collated by Game Rant, these Gen 6 critters, usually tucked away tighter than a Snorlax's nap schedule, are just… there. Wandering about. Taunting you with their low catch rates. It's not like someone's flipped a switch on a dodgy cheat code either. These sightings seem to be happening naturally, which is weirder than finding a Pikachu in a coal mine.
Now, you might be thinking, "Jeff, you magnificent digital soothsayer, what does this *mean*?" Well, two possibilities spring to mind. Either Niantic is quietly tinkering with spawn rates – which is about as likely as me winning the lottery twice in a row – or, more likely, it's a good old-fashioned glitch. A proper cock-up, if you will. And during the Water Festival, boosting Water-type Pokémon? This makes it even more sus.
So, what should you do, intrepid trainer? If you stumble across Skiddo or Gogoat, be prepared to burn some resources, mate. Ultra Balls, Golden Razz Berries – the whole shebang. Treat it like catching a shiny legendary. Because, fair dinkum, you might not see another one for a good long while. Farming GO Passes might be a good shout to stock up on those free rewards, it is worth a shot.
And hey, while you're out there glitch-hunting, remember the Pokémon GO Summer Concert event is running from July 19 to July 22, with Junichi Masuda's tunes and boosted shiny chances. So, even if you don't snag a rogue goat-deer-thing, you might still bag something sparkly. It's Pokémon GO, after all – anything can happen.
Sounds like a good time, eh? Now get out there and catch 'em all (or at least try to catch the glitchy ones).
