Summary
- A player shows off a collection of all 28 Unown as Best Buddy and Lucky, taking 1.5 years to collect.
- Unown is rare, with 28 forms, and the best chance to find one is during specific events in Pokemon GO.
A dedicated Pokemon GO player has surprised the community by showing off their collection of all Unown as Best Buddy and Lucky. As with other games in the Pokemon franchise, there are critters quite tricky to catch in Pokemon GO, which makes every encounter with these creatures a reason for great celebration.
Among those tricky to catch is Unown, a Psychic-type that, although it doesn't evolve into any other creature, has 28 different forms, each representing a letter of the Latin alphabet. Introduced with the launch of the Johto region in February 2017, getting an Unown in Pokemon GO is not so simple, as it is one of the rarest spawns in the game. While it's not impossible to find the critter in the wild, the odds are extremely low, so the best chance for trainers to add these pocket monsters to their collections is to join in specific events.
Showing that although it's complicated, it's not impossible, Redditor ConfusionRoyal7955 shared an incredible collection with all 28 Unown as Best Buddy and Lucky. They tell their fellow trainers that it took them a year and a half and 3300 km walked while playing Pokemon GO to get all variants of the Psychic-type, including the question mark and exclamation mark ones. Going further, they obtained 8400 hearts to get all the pocket monsters as Buddy Pokemon level and invested 1500 game sections along with 3700 berries.
Pokemon GO Player Spends Almost Two Years Completing Unown Collection
This isn't the first time the player has completed an impressive feat, revealing that they previously completed a Lucky and Lucky living customed Dex. The OP's Unown collection stands out, however, for requiring an incredible level of dedication and time to fulfill all the requirements. To have a chance of getting a Lucky trade in Poekmon GO, they need to interact with the friends on their list, who they say are best friends with 264 players and lucky friends with 128. Making each Unown Best Buddy is equally daunting, as it requires the player to repeat the same tasks daily to get each monster to the maximum level.
Pokemon GO players often undertake challenges to complete different sorts of collections, such as making all Pokemon Best Buddy. For trainers who want to expand their Pokedex by taking a less intimidating route than ConfusionRoyal7955, November holds several opportunities. One of them is the debut of Dynamax Drilbur in the Simply Groundbreaking event on November 15-17, while Toxel will be added to Niantic's game during the Into the Wild event on November 18-22.
