Pokemon GO Player Runs Into Weird Issue After Catching Maushold

Highlights

  • Maushold in Pokemon GO has different forms, but it wasn’t clear which this one was.
  • Players joked about the elusive fourth Maushold, comparing it to a stepchild or shy neighbor kid in the Pokemon family portrait.
  • The glitchy history of Maushold and Tandemaus includes invisible appearances and receiving unexpected singles in Pokemon games.

As a dedicated Pokemon GO player, I can’t help but be intrigued by the enigmatic Maushold and its elusive fourth family member. In my own gaming journey, I’ve encountered numerous instances of Maushold appearing in various forms, leaving me wondering which variant I had actually caught. The latest glitch involving a potential Family of Four or Three Maushold left me both amused and confused.


A player of Pokemon GO encountered an unusual issue while trying to catch a Mausle: it was unclear if they had captured a family of three or four members. This amusing predicament has sparked some humor within the Pokemon GO community, but the reason for this bug remains a mystery.

Maushold is an intriguing Pokemon with unique evolution forms. Unlike Diglett, which transforms into Dugtrio by gaining extra heads, Maushold can manifest as either a Family of Four or a Family of Three. In this case, it’s not just one creature evolving but rather the number of creatures constituting the Pokemon that changes.

A Pokemon GO player recently posted a picture of their encounter with a Maushold family in the game community, expressing uncertainty if they had obtained a Family of Three or a Family of Four. In the snapshot, there seems to be a Family of Three Maushold, but a fourth one is visible on the edge, distinctly separate from the others. The player reported that at times, the fourth Pokemon was present, while other instances it would vanish, leaving them uncertain about their catch.

Maushold Has a Glitchy History (and Present)

Pokemon enthusiasts came up with humorous comments and helpful suggestions in response. Some fans speculated that the fourth member of the Maushold family could be the neglected step-child or the less favored sibling, standing alone for the family photo. Others jested about the fourth Maushold being a friend’s kid or just an introverted character. Players also recommended checking the Pokemon GO Pokedex to identify which type of Maushold it was.

In the end, the player revealed that the fourth Maushold in their family had “disappeared,” as it no longer showed up with the others. This discovery confirmed they had obtained the elusive Maushold Family of Three, which other players praised them for. Whether in Pokemon GO or Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, this rare find is a challenge to get your hands on. Even without the Maushold’s technical issue, it’s still an impressive catch.

It’s surprising that Maushold and its earlier version Tandemaus have had a past marred by technical issues, not just within “Pokemon GO,” but also in “Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.” In the initial stages of the new game’s launch, players encountered strange occurrences such as missing or invisible Maushold or receiving only one Tandemaus instead of the intended pair. These incidents turned out to be mere visual glitches that didn’t significantly affect the gameplay experience. Nevertheless, it’s intriguing how this peculiar mouse Pokemon keeps experiencing abnormalities throughout different “Pokemon” games.
