A Pokémon GO player recently found themselves engulfed by a horde of what appeared to be Shiny Primal Groudon, thanks to the mischievous antics of Zorua disguises. Pokémon GO, a game that merges the virtual Pokémon world with real-life exploration, has been a fan-favorite since its release. Fans love uncovering quirky in-game incidents that make each session memorable and this certainly was one of those moments.
Released in 2016 by Niantic, Pokémon GO made waves with its unique blend of augmented reality and social interactivity, encouraging players to catch, train, and battle Pokémon using GPS technology. Since then, it has become a staple in the Pokémon community, continuing to grow and evolve. The latest update, titled “Might and Mastery,” introduced new Pokémon like Nickit and Thievul, aligning perfectly with the upcoming Deep Depths event.
A hilarious incident was shared on Reddit by user dgmiller70, showcasing a screenshot where they were surrounded by Groudon aplenty. Normally, catching a rare Shiny Primal Groudon can be quite a challenge, but in this peculiar instance, the spawn rate seemed unusually generous. The twist? Zorua was at play, mimicking the user’s buddy Pokémon—Shiny Primal Groudon, in this case—leading to a delightful, albeit overwhelming, flood of spawns.
On the Pokémon GO subreddit, this caused a buzz, with players reminiscing about their own Zorua encounters during the recent Beloved Buddies event. Some were bombarded by Sylveon, Santa Hat Pikachu, and even Corviknight, the latter adding a touch of excitement to their gameplay. One savvy player advised opting for a smaller buddy Pokémon, like Magikarp, during Zorua minutes, while another suggested befriending Zorua itself to better spot a potential Shiny amidst the chaos.
Looking ahead, the Pokémon GO community is abuzz with anticipation for the March 2025 events. Some of the highly anticipated activities include Tier 5 Raids featuring the legendary trio—Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres—along with Mega Raids, Shadow Raids, and Max Battles involving iconic Pokémon like Pinsir, Regice Shadow, Machop, and Charmander. Add to that the exciting Max Mondays and Spotlight Hours that are sure to keep trainers on their toes throughout the month.
In the ever-evolving world of Pokémon GO, players continue to relish these unexpected adventures and plan eagerly for what’s next on the horizon. As March rolls in, trainers are gearing up to dive into the array of events, each promising a new layer of fun and challenge to the beloved game.
