Summary
- A lucky gamer catches 11 Galarian Birds in Pokémon GO, showcasing their collection of the rare Legendary creatures.
- Catching Galarian birds requires Daily Incense, Master Balls, and patience, with Galarain Articuno being particularly rare.
One Pokémon GO player is flaunting their Galarian Bird collection, which features 11 of the hard-to-get Legendary creatures. Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres' Galarian regional forms were added to Pokémon GO years ago, but they're still among the mobile AR game's most-coveted finds.
Pokémon's Legendary Bird Trio made up most of the Legendary Pokémon introduced in the game's first generation. Along with Mewtwo, they posed the ultimate challenge for players in the franchise's early days. Then, in Generation 8, Pokémon Sword and Shield revived the trio for the Crown Tundra DLC expansion, making them the first Legendary Pokémon to receive regional forms and swapping around ther types, as well as providing each with a new look.
Pokemon GO Adding Daily PokeCoin Bounty Ticket
Pokemon GO reveals a Bounty Ticket that gives players the opportunity to gain more PokeCoins in addition to a number of other benefits.
Launching the new versions of the birds in the mobile game at the same time as the Crown Tundra expansion, the Galarian birds in Pokémon GO remain extremely hard to catch to this day, frustrating players but making the monsters even more valuable as trophies for particularly lucky or skilled players. Reddit user ShimuraMasako recently showed their clout by displaying ther collection, which consists of three Galarian Articuno, five Galarain Zapdos, and three Galarain Moltres. All but one of these lucky finds have Combat Power registering in the four-digit region, with the crown jewel being one of the Galarain Articuno, which sports the second-highest CP of the bunch at 2,855 and also happens to be a Lucky Pokémon. Most of them have regrettably poor IVs, but they're still rare enough to have earned a lot of commenters' envy.
Pokemon Go Player Has a Big Collection of Galarain Birds
Grabbing all these prize Pokémon hasn't been easy for the player. They said they have been using the Daily Incense ever since it was released, and they have even used two Pokémon GO Master Balls to fill out their collection, with the first used to capture their first Moltres and initially completing the trio. The player doesn't have any special tricks for catching the Galarian birds, though they live in a coastal region that experiences a lot of windy weather, which seems to make the highly sought-after birds appear more frequently.
While the menagerie is quite impressive, the missing pieces in the collection seem to be the Shiny versions of the Galarian bird trio, which were added to the game in 2022. Switching the Legendary birds' color schemes back to the way they appeared in Generation 1, these Pokémon came to Pokémon GO as prizes for the Pokémon 2022 International Challenge, so they're extremely difficult to come by. However, the birds aren't the only major finds this player has collected, as they said they also have two Armored Mewtwo.
