Some Pokémon are extremely hard to find and catch. A streamer wanted to catch a very specific water Pokémon. After 3 years, he finally succeeded and is visibly relieved.
Those who play Pokémon know that some people collect their Pokémon with passion to complete the Pokédex. A streamer has taken it to the next level.
Because Twitch streamer Reversa really wanted to catch a specific Pokémon. However, he chose a particularly nasty candidate. This is also the reason why he has been searching for the creature for years.
Streamer really wants to catch a very specific water Pokémon
What kind of Pokémon is it? The Pokémon Barschwa looks like an oversized fish and is not particularly strong on paper. Besides the less helpful move “Splash”, Barschwa also has “Tackle” and “Wrecking Ball” in its arsenal.
However, the Twitch streamer was determined to catch the Pokémon, specifically in its shiny variant. But there were three problems he faced:
- For one, Barschwa only appears on Route 2 in Pokémon Sword and is otherwise not findable in the game.
- On the other hand, according to Pokewiki, its frequency is 1%.
- Additionally, the Pokémon Barschwa is not visible. This means the Pokémon is not visibly moving across the map, so you can’t ‘farm’ it deliberately—you have to keep fishing for it instead.
The chance that, with a frequency of 1%, the Pokémon is also shiny is extremely low. It’s more likely you’ll encounter dozens of Magikarp or Wailmer, which you don’t even want.
How long did the streamer take? Pokémon: Sword and Shield were released on November 15, 2019. However, Reversa was determined to catch a shiny Barschwa. After 1383 days and a total of 236,183 attempts, he finally caught his Pokémon.
He shared the clip of catching the Pokémon on Twitter. It’s great to see how the streamer completely freaks out when he finally has the right Pokémon in front of him. He jumps off his chair and hops around the stream:
Anyone who has searched for a specific creature in the game for a long time will surely understand the streamer’s excitement and relief.
While the streamer is overjoyed with his successful catch, other players are currently quite dissatisfied with the mobile version of Pokémon Go. Players are reportedly running out of Poké Balls. You can read more about it on MeinMMO:
