Because the Unown are the rarest Pokemon monsters to catch, a SilphRoad trainer believes it could indicate Niantic is planning a Unown mini event or game linked to a Legendary event. Since Niantic added 82 new monsters in “Pokemon GO” when it introduced GEN 2, hints of the Legendary arriving have been dropped. If the game developer holds a Legendary Pokemon events, there should be a significant increase in Unown spawns, writes Necr0maNc3R, the trainer.
Linked With Mystery
Pokemon Go Hub agrees with the trainer that Unown have always been linked with the mystery in the Pokemon world and Legendary Pokemon. In an Entei event, it must be connected with Unown since Entei was summoned in “Spell of the Unown: Entei,” the third “Pokemon” movie, by Unown. In “The Rise of Darkrai,” several Unown appeared in connection to Palkia and Dialga. Third is Unown have been observed to appear every time there is a bending of dimensions in the Pokemon world.
Even for hardcore “Pokemon GO” players, the Unown have a reputation for being too difficult to catch. It takes 100 successful wild encounters to collect the 26 forms of Unown, according to an analysis. The hub’s study shows there is only one Unown encounter in 6 million recorded spawns, making it “insanely rare.” However, Slash Gear points out that once a Unown is encountered. it is not particularly hard to capture by using a Razz Berry and an Ultra Ball.
Base Capture Rate
With its base capture rate of 0.3, the same rate as Clefairy, Gloom. Scythere, Vulpix, Growlithe and Jynx, and 26 Unown Pokemon must be found to get Gold indicates not all Unown listed in the code are currently available. However, the tech website notes that no version of Unown is locked to a specific region and some have been found in different countries. Forbes says that besides the five GEN 1 Legendary that have not appeared in “Pokemon GO,” six more from GEN 2 – Lugia, Raiku, Suicune, Celebi, Ho-Oh and Entei – were added to the list, plus the Unown.
