Trainer catches perhaps the rarest monster that exists in Pokémon GO

Pokemon GO seltenes Mewtu

Some monsters have such a vanishingly small chance to appear in Pokémon GO that more than a fair amount of luck is needed. A trainer has exactly that.

While there are monsters that appear in abundance, there are also rarer specimens. For some constellations, quite a bit of luck is needed to catch them.

A more than rare combination has been obtained by a trainer, who reported it on social media. And this specimen is more than impressive.

It doesn’t get better than this

What kind of monster is this? The trainer shows in a post on Reddit that he has obtained a fantastic Mewtwo. The monster has perfect IV stats and is also shiny. And as if that weren’t enough, the Mewtwo also has a special background.

The chances of getting a monster that has perfect IV stats, is shiny, and has a special background are vanishingly small. Since Mewtwo is not only popular but also one of the strongest attackers in Pokémon GO, the trainer’s joy is correspondingly immense.

Where did the trainer get the monster? As he reports and as can also be seen from the special background, the trainer obtained the Mewtwo at the local event of this year’s GO Fest in Copenhagen.

After the trainer initially had internet problems due to the huge number of trainers on-site and the technical support could only recommend trying again the next day, the trainer managed to complete one last raid after leaving the GO Fest grounds.

And it was worth it: Because that very raid granted him the Mewtwo that a large portion of Pokémon GO trainers would likely be envious of. So, the trainer’s initial bad luck was ultimately rewarded.
