Pokemon Go Glitch Terrifies Players as Rare Catches Flee (But There’s Good News)

by

Experiencing a Shiny or uncommon Pokémon slipping away in Pokémon Go can be incredibly irritating. Typically, Mythical Pokémon, which are obtained through Special Research, aren’t designed to escape. This is to prevent these exceptionally rare catches from escaping trainers who have diligently worked to unlock these encounters. Lately, however, players of Pokémon Go have found their most terrifying fears materializing as they seemingly lose their one opportunity to catch elusive Mythical Pokémon like Keldeo. Fortunately, there’s some good news too.

During the Transformation season within Pokémon Go, trainers have the opportunity to capture Keldeo, a mythical Pokémon. Currently, Keldeo is highlighted in a prolonged Special Research project, granting trainers who don’t yet own this Pokémon a unique encounter. However, surprisingly, some trainers find that Keldeo is evading these Special Research encounters in Pokémon Go. Typically, such Special Research encounters should be incapable of allowing the Pokémon to flee, causing confusion among players about the situation.

Pokemon Go Glitch Causes Keldeo To Flee, But You Didn’t Actually Miss Your Chance

Through the ongoing Tales of Transformation Special Study, trainers who don’t currently possess Keldeo can unlock an opportunity to encounter it. Although the study spans the entire season, the encounter with Keldeo happens relatively early in the research process. By completing the initial phase of the Tales of Transformation Special Study, trainers will secure an encounter with Keldeo. However, many trainers anticipate a standard capture, but due to a suspected glitch, some trainers are finding that Keldeo occasionally escapes.

Multiple trainers are witnessing a Mythical Pokemon dart away, an unusual occurrence for these extremely rare encounters within Pokemon Go. Fortunately, this is merely a visual error, and you haven’t actually lost your chance to capture the unique Keldeo. This glitch isn’t novel, but it’s gaining popularity once more as players watch in disbelief as the Mythical Pokemon appears to elude them.

If you encounter the Keldeo fleeing glitch in Pokemon Go, don’t be alarmed as there’s an easy way to ease your fears. The game might register a catch even if it appears that Keldeo ran away. To verify, try these steps. Firstly, look for Keldeo in your Pokemon storage. It’s likely that you will find your Keldeo there, even though it seemed to have escaped. You may need to restart the app beforehand, but it should appear in storage. Secondly, check your journal located in the profile area of Pokemon Go. The event “Keldeo was caught!” should be displayed, despite the glitch making it seem like Keldeo fled.

It’s really disappointing to witness a rare Pokemon like Keldeo flee in Pokemon Go, but don’t worry – it’s just a visual glitch and not something that prevents you from getting the Mythical Pokemon eventually. The developers are working on fixing this issue, so your Keldeo catch should remain secure. Just remember, if you have already captured Keldeo during its previous appearance in Pokemon Go, this encounter won’t be accessible to you. Since only one Keldeo can exist in a trainer’s storage at any given time in Pokemon Go, catching another will result in earning Keldeo Candy along the research path instead.
