[Q&A] What Pokémon eluded you the longest before you finally got it?

Porygon. I ended up hatching one from an egg. I walked it to evolve it. I kept thinking it would be a total waste if I ended up hatching another one. But thankfully that didn’t happen.

Oh and Muk also… I hatched 1 grimer… and I was in the process of walking it to evolution when raids came out, and then I just caught the damn thing. I’ve never seen them in the wild.

Ya Muk was tough for me to get too…I only ever hatched 1 grimer and only caught 3 or 4 wild…had to use Grimer as my buddy to get him and then shortly later, Muk got introduced in raids so wasted all that time walking Grimer lol

Funny that you mentioned this…Here’s a little story from me…went for a late night walk about a week ago or so cause I wanted to walk the 3.3km for my 10km egg.

First, I caught my first ever wild Blastoise (wasn’t a good one but still pretty sweet). Literally 5 mins later, I caught my 2nd ever wild Vaporean CP 1526 (I know crazy right)

Then I was 2 mins away from home and I FINALLY hatched my first ever Snorlax with an IV of 96%.

I’d say not bad for a 1 hour late night walk! lol

Yanma! I got my first one last week. That was my 233rd Pokemon, I’ve only caught Lugia since. Now I’m only missing Moltres and Unown from my region.

Believe it or not, I didn’t get my Butterfree until just 2 days ago… and I was level 27…and I’ve been playing since launch.

It took me a year to catch my first Dragonite and hatch my first Lapras.

It took me until level 34 to get my first Gengar! I started my account after the Haloween event, and Gastlies have been very elusive for me. I ended up getting it in a raid. Good thing they had raids, or I would still be walking mine!

I’m level 34 now and I the only one I still need is aerodactyl…
I’ve been hatching so many 10km eggs but I’m still out of luck

I never got a Kabuto until the Rock Event. Now I have 3 Kabutops.

For me the last thing to evolve/catch was Jumpluff back on 5th of April. Hoppips were hard to find and I doubled my collection in 2 days after getting told about a nest.
Before Gen 2 was released Snorlax was the last one. I’d got to L30 before I finally caught one than 2 days later I hatched one from a 10K egg

Unknown. A couple days ago did a 20 minute freeway pop from the discord alert to get my first.

And porygon was, WAS, elusive. From. The 10ks though, I swear they’re a common tier hatch. Uncommon at least.

I didn’t get an Aerodyctal until after 10 months of playing.

Gen 1 - Porygon comes to mind - didn’t get one of them until December '16
I got muk 2 days before gen 2 released.
I got ampharos last in gen 2.

Blastoise took me so much time. But i believe next one will be dragonite. I hope i will finally walk my 125 candies (with some help from rare candies and eggs) Oh, and i get my first Porygon from wild in one shopping centre in september of 2016 i guess. It had terrible cp, but i didn’t knew anything about it back then, i used to see him as normal, not too rare mon’!

Probably Sandslash for me, i’ve still never caught a wild Sandshrew before.

Cleffa, I still don’t have this little… emm

All the baby Pokemon. I still dont have 1 of them. Hatched plenty of eggs and nothing

I got my sandslash from eggs only - sandshrew in my area was so rare that I thought it was egg exclusive pokemon

Same here: up until December 2016 I thought it was the South American regional.

In the western US sandshrew is everywhere. In the southeast (where I live) they are almost never seen.
