Summary
APokemon GObug has made it impossible for players to catch PhD Pikachu, which is one of the most difficult-to-get Pokemon in the game, as it simply flees when players throw a Poke Ball at it. Considering that this encounter is tied to aPokemon GOachievement, which is also known as Medals in the game, it is supposed to be a guaranteed encounter, but players are reportedly unable to catch the Pokemon altogether.
PokeStop Showcases were introduced inPokemon GOas part of the 7th Anniversary Event, and they have quickly become a popular mechanic in the game. PokeStop Showcases are a great way for players to show off their special Pokemon and compete with others, and also earn some lucrative rewards along the way. Some PokeStop Showcases can be quite difficult to win, as a lot of players take part in them to grab the top spots. However, it seems like a frustrating bug is affecting the feature in the game.
In a new post on thePokemon GOsubreddit, user FitzRigo18 reveals a frustrating bug that players have been facing in the game lately. They state that right now it is not possible to catchPhD Pikachu inPokemon GO, as it will flee every time when players try to throw a Poke Ball at it during the encounter. What makes things worse is the fact that any berries or Poke Ball used in the process are lost altogether even though the Pokemon is not caught due to the bug. The user adds that they were eagerly looking forward to catching the Pokemon for a while now, considering how cumbersome the achievement is, but the issue left them disappointed.
How To Get PhD Pikachu In Pokemon GO
PhD Pikachu is one of therarest Pokemon inPokemon GObecause it is extremely difficult to get one. Players need to win 100 PokeStop Showcases to get the Pokemon, and it can take quite a while to get to that number. PokeStop Showcases are only held during specific days of the week, and players have to compete against others to win them.
Some players noted that they were considering holding off on completing the achievement until the bug is fixed, but others highlighted that the encounter doesn’t go away. Several fans have escalated this issue to Niantic support and are hoping that thisbug is fixed in the nextPokemon GOupdateand that they finally get their well-deserved rewards.
