Currently, various players in Pokémon GO are looking for a special monster that seems to have disappeared. Makabaja just won’t show up.
This is how it was so far with Makabaja: During the Halloween Event 2019, Makabaja was often found in the wild. You could also obtain it from quests. It was the first time that you could catch this Pokémon.
Since the end of the event, it has been quiet about the Pokémon. Now players are asking: Can you still catch it in the wild?
Where is Makabaja?
This is what players report: On reddit, player GeminiRM asks if Makabaja is gone. He himself has not seen a Makabaja since the Halloween event and now suspects that it is an exclusive Halloween Pokémon, similar to Botogel at Christmas.
Under the thread, there is a lot of participation, but there is no real proof that someone has caught Makabaja even after the Halloween event.
Some trainers report that in 2018, people thought the same about Driftlon, but the Pokémon is just extremely rare in the wild. Currently, Driftlon can mainly be found in windy weather, but in other weather conditions, it is almost nonexistent.
So is Makabaja gone? Currently, there is no confirmation. Unlike Driftlon, Makabaja only appears more frequently in foggy weather. However, this weather is rare, making it difficult to search for Makabaja.
However, you can still get this Ghost-type Pokémon from eggs. So it is definitely not completely gone and exclusive like Botogel. It might just no longer spawn in the wild.
Does this happen often? It could be that this whole situation is a mistake where Niantic has mistakenly disabled the spawns. Recently, this also happened with Paras. The Pokémon from Gen 1 simply no longer existed in the wild.
With Shinies, this has also happened before. For instance, Traunfugil and Magnetilo were simply no longer found as Shiny. After a few days, this was then fixed.
Currently, mostly Rocket Pokémon appear in the wild. The reason for this is a new event:
