It has only returned once since this date during the Pokemon Day 2020 celebrations in February of that year.

There has been no sight of Armored Mewtwo since these days and no sign of its return.

Due to their very limited release, the only way tocurrently obtain a Clone Pokemon is throughtrading.

Nor can you recreate the famous Clone Pikachu slap.

Though, if you have one going spare, you could always use aMaster Ballfor a guaranteed catch.

There it could once again be found by having it photobomb Go Snapshot pictures.

Like the other Rotom forms, Frost Rotom could be found by having it photobomb Go Snapshot pictures.

Whether Regular Rotom will make a return is yet to be seen along with how it can be obtained.

This leaves Fan Rotom to be the only Rotom form yet to make an appearance in Pokemon Go!

and were released during the Go Tour: Sinnoh event in February 2024.

Hopefully it will be easier to get both Origin Formes with their Adventure Effects in the future.

Unown

The easiest way to findUnownisin the wild and in raids during special in-game eventslike Go Fest.

They are alsoincredibly rare spawns outside of events- with emphasis on incredibly.

If Arceus blesses you with such an encounter, we highly recommend usingGolden Razz Berriesto catch the Unown!

Due to this, it may take you a very long time to hatch a Larvesta.

We recommend simply continuing to hatcheggsand, eventually, you’ll get a Larvesta.

Just keep in mind that adding Volcarona to your Pokedex is a long term goal!

To catch Kecleon, you mustfind a PokeStop with a mostly invisible Kecleon clinging to it.

Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres in Pokémon Go

Now all you have to do is catch the Kecleon!

You may find it rather difficult to find a PokeStop with a Kecleon on it though.

Personally, it took me a couple of weeks to encounter my first.

From my experience, Frigibax is a very rare wild spawn.

So get your walking boots on - it’s hatching time.

Remember, if you’re having trouble hatching a Charcadet you’re able to always trade for one.

When you’ve finally got a Charcadet, it’s time to evolve it into either Armarouge or Ceruledge.

(This is why I mentioned needing two Charcadets.)

ForArmarouge, you need todefeat 30 Psychic-bang out Pokemon with Charcadet as your buddyand have 50 Candy.

Meanwhile,Ceruledgerequires you todefeat 30 Ghost-key in Pokemon with Charcadet as your buddyand the 50 Candy.

So dont play during Halloween?

No Yamask for you.

In 2022 Spiritomb was, sadly, confined to the pay-to-play Halloween timed research quest.

No, what I want to talk about here is having Zygarde reach its Complete Forme.

Article image

In my experience, Zygarde Cells usually spawn towards the end of a Route.

You will need250 Zygarde Cells in total-50 for it’s 50% Formeand200 to reach the Complete Forme.

Best of luck on those Routes.

If the background of the catch screen is a beach, you’re in the right place!

Once you’ve caught a Wiglett, you’ll need50 Wiglett Candy to evolve it into Wugtrio.

Keep in mind that Wiglett does appear to be quite the rare spawn.

Varoom and Revavroom

Varoom is another Pokemon confined to12km eggsand currently sitsalone on Tier 3.

When do get a Varoom, you’ll need50 Varoom candyto evolve it into Revavroom.

There are 11Ultra Beastsin total, witheight so far appearing in Pokemon Goviafive-star raids and two special research quests.

This number will increase to nine once Poipole can evolve into Naganadel.

All three were then made available worldwide as part of the Go Fest 2022: Finale event.

Next in line were Poipole and, it’s evolution, Naganadel.

The final two Ultra Beasts - Stakataka and Blacephalon - arrived as part of the Ultra Space Wonders event.

Regionally exclusive Pokemon

When it comes toregionally exclusivePokemon, rarity is a subjective matter.

European players plagued by Mr. No matter where you live, regionally exclusive Pokemon can be foundin the wild.

This gives players whove not caught these Pokemon yet the chance to add them to their Pokedexs.

Keep at it though and you’ll soon have all the Hisuian Pokemon!

Finally,some Hisuian Pokemon can only be obtained through evolution, such as Hisuian Arcanine.

At the time of writing, only one Paldean Pokemon has been released into Pokemon Go - Paldean Wooper.

Though Paldean Tauros does have three different forms!

It’s important to note that Pokemon like Wiglett or Toedscool are not considered Paldean Pokemon.

Article image

Instead, they are whole new Pokemon who look similar to Gen 1 Pokemon due to similar genetics.

The same goes for Paldean Wooper who evolves into Clodsire.

Though not all Alolan and Galarian Pokemon make an appearance in the 7km egg pool.

This means if you’re currently missing a Galarian Mr.

Mime, along with Mr. Rime, you’ll have to wait for its return.

Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres, however, can only be found while usingDaily Adventure Incense.
