In Pokémon GO, players aim to catch as many different Pokémon as possible. However, some specimens show up to trainers only extremely rarely. It is all the more astonishing when players encounter a very rare Pokémon by chance in the wild.
Finding a legendary Pokémon in Pokémon GO is a matter of great luck. That luck was also bestowed upon reddit user zeptech99, who shared a picture of their encounter with a very rare Pokémon.
What Pokémon is that? The legendary and extremely rare Pokémon that reddit user zeptech99 stumbled upon is Vesprit.
Vesprit is one of the legendary Pokémon from Generation 4 and made its appearance as a member of the Lake Trio in the main series games Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum as well as Shining Diamond and Shining Pearl. There, it roams the Sinnoh region as a wandering Pokémon.
Vesprit is a Psychic-type Pokémon and is therefore vulnerable to Ghost, Dark, and Bug attacks. If you want to know how to battle this legendary Pokémon, we have the best counters against Vesprit on MeinMMO.
How did the other trainers react? With his rare find, zeptech99 attracted a lot of attention on reddit. The post had received over 2,200 upvotes and over 200 comments just 14 hours after its publication. Many expressed how rare the encounter with Vesprit was (via reddit)
- Topladluke96: Literally the rarest spawn (besides Selfe and Tobutz in their respective regions) in the entire game. GG.
- dannywarpick: “Wow, and I’m over here struggling to catch Ghost-type Pokémon for my quests. GGs”
- fillmorecounty: “I mean, they spawn, just very, very rarely. Most of us have played even before they were released and have never found one.”
Where can I catch this Pokémon? Vesprit can only be found in the wild in certain regions and is catchable only in Europe and Asia.
The other two legendary members of the Lake Trio – Selfe and Tobutz – are also tied to specific regions. For example, Selfe appears in Asia and Oceania, and Tobutz in North America.
Can I also experience a random encounter? As long as you are in Europe, it is quite possible that you may encounter Vesprit. However, it appears only very rarely and is associated with a lot of luck.
