Summary

  • Sharing a rare Shlundo Mewtwo from a trade has Pokemon GO fans buzzing with envy and admiration.
  • Mewtwo holds a special place in players' hearts with its origins in the original Red and Blue games.
  • While not necessary to enjoy the game, finding a perfect Pokemon like this Mewtwo can be a true gem for any player.

A Pokemon GO fan has shared the incredibly special Mewtwo that they received via trade with their fellow fans. The find is making other Pokemon GO players quite envious, though several have also taken the opportunity to share their good fortune with this particular Legendary Pokemon.

Mewtwo holds a special place for a lot of Pokemon fans. The unique man-made Pokemon was incredibly overpowered in the original Pokemon Red and Blue games, and starred in the original Pokemon anime movie as the main antagonist. While Mewtwo has plenty of competition these days with a better overall balance to the game's typing and numerous other powerful Legendary Pokemon, most players would likely be proud to have this particular Pokemon in their collection.

Reddit user GODS-KALI shared the Mewtwo they received via trade with fans on the site's Pokemon GO subreddit. The screenshot reveals a Shlundo Mewtwo, one of the most difficult kinds of Pokemon to acquire. A Shlundo Pokemon is Shiny, Lucky, and has perfect stats. In other words, this Mewtwo needed to be a Lucky Trade and have the highest stats possible in Attack, Defense, and HP. Getting a Mewtwo with just one of these factors would be enough to make a lot of players happy, but getting one this rare is extremely difficult to pull off.

Shlundo Mewtwo Impresses Pokemon GO Players

Numerous players have offered their congratulations and envy with the OP. Several have shared their own impressive Mewtwos, with the majority of them being Shiny at the very least. While some players go through the game with no Shinies and not really seeking them out, other players make it the main focus for themselves. Finding a wild Shiny at all can be difficult depending on the current odds, but discovering one with perfect IVs on top of that is super rare. Perhaps the most surprising thing about this Mewtwo is that another trainer was willing to part with it. GODS-KALI notes that they traded away a Shiny Guzzlord for this, and they plan on teaching the incredible Mewtwo Psystrike and Shadow Ball.

Thankfully, finding an epic Pokemon like this isn't necessary to enjoy the game. Players can still complete raids, take down Team GO Rocket members, and fight in Pokemon GO's Battle League with a standard lineup of Pokemon, though the better their IVs, the easier it will become. For those who focus on collecting perfect Pokemon, though, this is one of the ultimate finds that would likely become the crowning jewel in any player's collection.
