A player throws more than 100 balls at a strange Pokémon in Pokémon GO. In the end, he wonders: Was it pure waste or was it worth it after all? The community and MeinMMO agree that it was worth it.
What did the player do? A player reports that he has found a strange Pokémon. So far, he has thrown more than 100 Ultra Balls at the Pokémon but still hasn’t caught it. Now the player is wondering: Is all the effort he’s putting in really worth it? He explains on Reddit:
I’m so glad it didn’t run away, even though I threw more than 100 balls and it didn’t work out.
The Lake Trio is extremely rare to find in the wild
Was it worth the effort? Yes, it was! Because the Pokémon is Tobutz, which belongs to the so-called Lake Trio and is also a legendary Pokémon. The trio is completed by Selfe and Vesprit.
Since the start of the Sinnoh Tour in Pokémon Go, the legendary Lake Trio of Selfe, Tobutz, and Vesprit has also been roaming the wild and can theoretically be found everywhere, if encountered.
It is certain that these three Pokémon are extremely rare to find outside of raids and catching them is equally difficult. You can find a guide on how to catch Selfe, Vesprit, and Tobutz on MeinMMO.
However, another user writes under the post that the Lake Trio Pokémon cannot run away anymore. They are rare in any case:
I don’t think anyone mentioned this, but the wild Lake Guardians cannot run away and also have a chance to appear as shiny in the wild since they returned this year [2024]. They are extremely rare to see in the wild, so it’s a really amazing find!
What would the alternative have been? If the player had a Master Ball left, he could have caught the Pokémon directly. Because catching with a Master Ball is always successful, however, this ball is extremely rare to obtain.
Because the Master Ball is so rare and is only distributed sparingly, MeinMMO shows you a selection of monsters for which the Master Ball could be worth it for you: Pokémon GO: Using the Master Ball – It’s worth it for these monsters
