Those who want to receive the Pokémon GO medal for Icognito must face a tough challenge and prove their endurance.
Icognito is a very special monster in the Pokémon series. The letter Pokémon exists in various forms as letters from A-Z and also as a question mark and exclamation mark. Since the release of over 80 new monsters in Pokémon GO, many trainers have been wondering whether this monster can now also be found in the game.
On Reddit, trainers now confirm that they have caught Icoglio, but it is very rare. Additionally, this Pokémon medal is associated with a special challenge.
Catching Icognito and unlocking the medal
In the Gold and Silver editions, you can find the Icognito in the Alpha Ruins. However, in Pokémon GO, you fortunately do not have to explore ancient ruins to catch these rare monsters.
The few reports on Reddit and other social networks show that Icognito is among the rarest monsters in Pokémon GO so far. There is no indication that it only appears in special locations. A video by Pepchu shows what such an encounter with Icognito looks like in the game.
To obtain the medal from Icognito you have to take on a task that takes a lot of time. For this, you need to catch not only one Icognito but all forms that can be found in Pokémon GO. If you catch the same form twice, only one of them counts.
To get the medal, you have to catch Icognito in the form of 26 different letters. This special challenge was noted by Reddit user rpeace88, after he caught three Icognito but only had two different forms in his collection. In this medal progress, only unique Pokémon count.
Whether the different forms of Icognito can possibly be caught in specific regions, or what factors determine the form of this Pokémon, is currently still unknown. In a few days or weeks there will likely be more information about it after more trainers have caught this rare Pokémon.
