Pokemon GO Player Gets Incredibly Unlucky While Using Incense

Key Takeaways

  • Galarian birds in Pokemon GO are rare and challenging to catch, often requiring the Master Ball for success.
  • Daily Incense Adventure attracts Galarian birds, but players may still struggle to capture them due to high escape rates.
  • Players have encountered unique scenarios with Galarian birds, such as finding a nundo Zapdos or using a Master Ball on a disguised Zorua.

As a seasoned Pokemon GO player with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the latest tales of Galarian birds have me both envious and amused. Envious, because these rare creatures continue to elude even the most dedicated trainers, including myself. Amused, because the sheer unpredictability of these encounters never ceases to amaze me.


A player of Pokemon GO had an extraordinary stroke of fortune when they stumbled upon the three Galarian birds, but unfortunately, their luck ran out as they couldn’t catch any of them. Just like other games in the series, success in capturing specific creatures in Pokemon GO also relies on a bit of luck. What makes these critters special is that they can be hard to find due to their elusive nature, making them highly sought-after among the gaming community.

“Among the sought-after monsters, the Galarian birds stand out. These regional versions of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres were introduced in 2022 as part of the Daily Incense Adventure, which attracts creatures near the player for 15 minutes if they keep moving. Since then, these Legendary trio have become quite rare in Pokemon GO, as Galar’s birds can only be found through the Daily Incense Adventure, and spotting one of them is difficult.

Pokemon GO Player Has Rare and Unlucky Encounter With Galarian Birds

Reddit user Terrible_Balance_916 managed to spot all three Galarian birds (Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres) in a single day, but unfortunately, couldn’t capture any of them. A Pokemon GO player shared that they encountered Galarian Articuno with a CP of 2604, Zapdos at 1155, and Moltres boasting a CP of 2359 during their walk while using the Daily Adventure Incense. Regrettably, the trio of legendary birds escaped after rolling twice on the Poke Ball. In the comments section, other Redditors expressed astonishment over the player’s unfortunate situation. However, despite this string of bad luck, the player mentioned that they had already successfully captured Galarian Articuno using their first Master Ball.

In Niantic’s game, Galarian Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are known for being exceptionally rare and having a high probability of escape. Consequently, the go-to method for capturing one of these Legendaries is typically through the use of Pokemon GO‘s Master Ball. This extraordinary Poke Ball was first introduced last year, and has since become available on two other occasions. The primary purpose of the Master Ball is its ability to catch any creature by disregarding its catch rate.

Ever since the introduction of the Galarian birds in the AR game, these creatures have been at the heart of some extraordinary tales within Pokemon GO. For instance, one player was flabbergasted upon capturing a Galarian Zapdos, finding out that it had no individual values (IVs) whatsoever, being a nundo. Another player encountered Galarian Articuno at an inopportune time, as they hadn’t yet acquired their Master Ball. Lastly, a different trainer wasted a powerful Poke Ball on a Galarian Moltres, revealing that it was actually in disguise as a Zorua.
