13 Rare Pokémon You Should NEVER Catch in Pokémon GO 

There's nothing more ironic than Mystic7 saying Don't buy a Nintendo Switch to get Gimmighoul and Gholdengo, only to follow it up with a sponsored ad by the Pokemon Company, to get you to buy a Switch and Scarlet/Violet to play thier in game Halloween event. Not your best decision Mystic, lmao.

A video talking about not catching Pokémon, being sponsored by Pokémon, is hilarious to me

Wut? Ferrothorn is pretty good in Great League with very good defense on top of superior defensive typing. Offense needs some planning but great pokemon and one of my latter generation favs

Mystic7 be like : Goldhengo is not worth it because Nintendo and the Pokémon scarlet and violet costs hundreds of dollars. Meanwhile mystic7 : Proceeds to make an add for scarlet and violet

Basically none of this applies to you if you care about collecting over usability.

For someone who doesn't like the pvp scene and consider myself to be a collector, they are all worth it. Couldn't go to the live events so i'm hoping skiddo and gogoat will eventually be released globally after Mexico safari

I've taken a bit of a break from hunting it, but this year my big hunt has been a Lundo Gholdengo, I currently have 1600 coins, I refuse to evolve a Gimmighoul until I get my Lundo

Ferrothorn is actually pretty decent in GL & UL (and can be pretty insane in some limited cups)

ferrothorn is actually pretty decent in great league

Fun Fact: You CAN get a cryogonal of the daily Insense

Ofc all of us are watching after 2020 💀

Interesting timing on the sponsored section putting it right after gimmighoul lol

What's so crazy about cryogonal is one literally spawned in my daily incense yesterday when I decided to take a walk on a whim. Interesting

1:01 that too at the cost of THE SHUNDO on Tom's account. 3:57 Ferroseed used to nest for a whole season. 4:13 Except for that it is a swampert destroyer.

Buddy functionality idea / introduction of “bottle caps”: What if for a certain amount of Km walked with a buddy, the buddied Pokémon were to find a bottle cap where, when applied, would increase or decrease the buddy’s IVs by 1. For this idea, let’s say the Km needed to “find a bottle cap” were based on the rarity of the Pokémon and would multiply by 1.2x each IV gained. For example, based on the eggs the Pokémon hatch from, or the level raid needed for the reward encounter, would determine if you needed 20 (tier1), 30 (tier3), 40 (tier4) or 50Km (tier5) walked for a single IV change. If a trainer had a 10/15/15 IV Charmander, they would need to walk 148.832km (round to 149) with the buddy Pokémon to get to 100% IVs. If a trainer had a 10/15/15 IV Gible, they would need to walk 297.664km (round to 298) with the buddy Pokémon to get to 100% IVs. If a trainer had a 10/15/15 IV Mewtwo, they would need to walk 446.496km (round to 447) with the buddy Pokémon to get to 100% IVs. The same math would be applied to reduce IVs for PVP Pokemon. In addition to finding bottle caps with your buddy walking, perhaps they could be found in other activities by your buddy. Such as spinning stops/ raids/ gym battling / etc. This would also be EXTREMELY rare. To avoid problems with caught 100%s, the stat changes could be visibly different than normal stats with the following: * a notation on the Pokémon screen * different colored IVs showing a bottle cap was applied * the CP of these bottle capped Pokémon would be -1 of actual 100%s or PVP IVed caught Pokémon * the 100% bottle capped would not be searchable with 4* but would have a search just for “bottle capped.” Pros: - This would make spoofing or radar services less profitable and encourages more gameplay with the same Pokémon. - Entices player to “bond” with a single Pokémon for longer and therefore play the game more often to get the coveted 100% dex. - Allows all types of players to get 100%s while also not flooding the player base with actual 100%s. Cons: - All players would have access to the best Pokémon if they walk enough - The need to catch all Pokémon would be reduced slightly If you can think of any other pros/cons, reply to this comment so we can share our thoughts about the idea and maybe someone at Niantic will pick it up! Ideas welcomed and I’ll update the post accordingly. Side note: Could it be this is why Ash Ketchum’s Pikachu was so powerful? Because Ash built a string relationship with him? Second side note: friend me so we can help each other to lvl50! Comment your trainer for so you can get friends with other’s who read this post! 6436 8135 6368

What kind of title is that? What do you mean you should never catch these?

I managed to hatch a 4* vullaby and i actually caught shiny ferroseed with my autocatcher while doing a raid during go fest. I didn’t realize i had the shiny in my account until about 5 minutes after!

Can someone please tell me how I can look at the rankings for the battle league’s

Somehow caught a passimian through a field research… almost transferred it. Thank god i watched this video

Bro, 16 rocket battles for a rocket radar? That and the Ferrothorn being useless in GBL are completely false. 👑✌️

This video got released to not long before the event where cryogenols we're everywhere and it was real easy to get multiple shinies lol. The mandibuzz though i use ALOT in the 1500 league, if you set it up with a dark and flying charged attacks you can spam your opponent with charged attacks.

I'm still so mad I missed Passimian, I have it registered as seen in the pokedex, but I think that's cuz someone had one in a gym or something

got the shiny kleavor my first day back playing this game last month, damn didn't know it was that rare lmao

I got a Cryogonal like two weeks ago (So in october) in the wild, and got it with an autocatcher. I didnt even notice till i got home.

I saw a cryogonal today, didn't get to catch it as it ran. It's the end of October so it does spawn outside of December

I would have to strongly disagree with ferrothorn and ferroseed both have use in GBL

I got one of those Cryogonal from a daily incence 2 weeks ago

I got a shiny kleavor randomly when I was in Yosemite for the weekend. I hopped on pokemon go and saw him in a raid so soloed it and got a shiny one and done. Never knew it was rare til now.

Keep up the grind my guy

I got my shiny guzzlord and got a shiny mega benette as well!

Rotom may not be meta relevant but my 96% Shiny Normal form Rotom is my pride & joy❤️. My luck was at its peak during the Sinnoh tour!!!

Him: you can only catch Cryoganal in December. Me with the one I caught last moth with a daily lure module.

I got a hundo minccino back when i visited paris, good memories

this dude is the only one who has the guts to put his pokemon sponsor right after dissing a pokemon 😂

Got a hundo klevor trying to get the shiny- seems to always happen to me

Just wondering, I've caught a bunch of Passimians this year and didn't know they were rare (did they released again into the wild?)

i used to watch mystic7 when pokémon go had just started becoming popular. Also in my old account i had a shadow suicune. i wish i still had it

I caught a vullaby in the wild yesterday on the Daily Incense.

I love how I had passimun or something monkey and I transferred it think oh it sucks 😅

Honestly I think not keeping pvp relevant pokemon locked behind these huge hurdles is a great way to keep the casual player base invested, cus they don’t have to spend incredible amounts of time to do well in PvP. That being said, I understand the frustration hardcore players experience when they grind for hours to get a Pokémon only for it to turn out to be mediocre or bad

My 1st encounter with that December only happened the other day with a daily inscence.... it fled 😢

Omg I got a cryogonal from wild last week 😮I did not know it was that rare

sick dude love the vids keep it up

Just caught me an xxs 15/15/15 hundo spiritomb with a cp of a staggering 888. Idk if these are rare tho

What a brutal savage move to throw that sponsorship ad in right after the bit about not spending money on scarlet snd violet😂😂👑

when he said cryogonal was only available in december , i was confused cause i got mine in may

8:10 I’ll quickly time travel so I can be watching this video in 2020 😂

4:12 I use him in the great league with tropius and shadow golurk

Recently just evolved my hundo gimmighoul 😅 i feel you on the effort

I thought by myself "puh, if i should evolve a Gimmighoul, it would be cool if its an 100 iv", because you need that freaking 999 coins. So i opened a few boxex like about 7 or 8 or something, while i only catched 6 per box, because i didnt know there will be spawning more, if im walking... 😅 and yeah what should i say... I catched a perfect one. It was so unbelievable and i was so happy! Now its lvl 50, best buddy and have the second attack (:

Cryogonal can be shiny in the wild, I’m not sure if it was released before or after this video though

Unrelated but I have the mythical discovery research first ever and am soon going to get a free new when I complete it

Idk how but I got cryogonal on my daily basis incense in the middle of the summertime (I live in US no Christmas in July stuff lol)

Its just nice to have, at least to have it. I got a Gholdengo, and even 2000 coins remaining. It wasnt that hard or special. But just to have one

I did one Bombirdier Raid just to have it in my dex and it was shiny. Its the only shiny i got in a raid ever.

I’ve caught cryogonal twice off daily incense. One of them was today

Kleavor is legit one of my fave poke, I love him!

Got a shiny vullaby on the daily incense today ;)

Every pokemon you should get one of, so you can complete the dex. Beyond that there are several that are just there for that purpose.

Struck out on phantump spotlight, might get it in SV instead 😂

I don’t battle much, but do want to complete the Pokédex, so … I guess I should catch all of these…

How can you say Ferrothorn has no play in GBL??!! Its been core meta in so many of the limited cups you're just looking at the core leagues and then calling it useless which is incorrect as it has A LOT of play in limited formats, usually at least one cup per season.

re: pokemon ad - what that SOW look like tho lmao

Mystic: Takes a dump on Goldenjoe and having to get SV on the Switch. Mystic: Sponsored by TPC! Buy SV DLC on Switch!

Love ur videos

Man, that Pokedex ain't gonna fill itself

Another W Mystic vid keep it up bro ❤

4:32 I caught this on my daily incense, didn’t know it was rare lol

Gogoat will be super useful in pvp it just needs Rock slide added back to its move pool which I expect on its global release

I Have Galarian Zaptos AND Galarian Articuno, is thats rare?

I got a shiny ferroseed during gofest 2023. Top tier shinys

Brother roasts the sponsors thats crazy. But keep the work up man❤

I have shiny ferothorn caught during deino community day

I caught a cyrogonal by my house a few weeks ago so random

I have lots of the ‘rare’ Pokémon and even the shiny Cicino but I’m just a lvl 35

During the sponsor you were showing clips of part 2 (the indigo disk) which doesn't release until winter

Did one Kleavor raid and got a shiny, that’s the end of that. My bad luck has its turnarounds…

I’ve only been playing for 6 months (in the UK) but seen and caught loads of Minccinos? Even a shiny in the wild…is it regional or just random?

I'm proud of my shiny kleavor more because kleavor is my favourite pokemon

Oh so I don’t have to get the DLC for Phantump (well Pokemon Violet anyway).

Bro i literally messd up 😫 So I'm new in Pokemon Go And few days ago, while finding pokemons i saw a gold loure And i luckily I encountered a gimmi ghoul and i was compliting a research so i thought I can come back any time and catch it but when I cam to catch it that loure was turned off 😩

i have caught dozens of passimian and transferred a few all of which caught in the wild not at japan

I got cryogonal from Daily insence like a month ago

I caught a wild shiny vullaby not during a event I logged on to Pokémon to confirm I caught it in the wild and found shiny alolan meowth

Ferrothorn is actually good on PvP lmao

I just caught cryoganel like last week 😂

Are you kidding me, I managed to catch two shiny Kleavor during that event back in 5/6/2023.

Does anyone know how to fix the field research tab? Every time I click it nothing loads and I’m just stuck on the screen with nothing to click and gotta close app

“Literally impossible to get!” Except it literally is possible to get…….

I have a hundo chinchino and i never knew it was rare

I caught the snowflake thing on the daily like a few months ago lol

Glad I got bombardier shiny in my first raid

I caught a wild shiny ferroseed it’s sick

already exited to watch!

Shouldn't worry about catching isn't the same as should never catch 😅

Where I live passimians are really common and I always see them in the wild??

Saw this today, 5 hours later hatched a shiny vulllaby, thanks for the luckk😂😂🎉🎉

You start off with Gimmighoul of all mons. I've caught over a 100 of them, and not a single one has been 3 stars.

I feel like thinking about mons only in terms of their max CP and overall PvP ranking to be an extremely shallow way to look at this game. I want to catch em all, some people want to battle, others want to look at cute sparkly Woopers. Saying you should "never catch" them is far, far different from saying they're not good PvP mons. Mons you should never battle with? Sure. Never catch? Wouldn't ever go that far about anything, really.

I'm trying to fill my pokedex so I want to catch em all
