This year’s version ofGo Fest Globalsaw Pokemon likeNecrozmaandMarshadowdescend into the popular mobile game. While they both featured some daunting tasks, it’s the smaller Pokemon that seemed to have caused the biggest problem.
Players discussedPokemon GoFest Global in a Redditpost, and it turns out that the PokemonEmolgahas been tripping up dozens of Trainers after a new Special Research task debuted.
In the post, the author explained, “Stupidly thought that selecting a path just meant emolgas as a reward… Had no idea it would just make this rare(r) spawn a criteria for completion.”
This was fine during the event, when spawns for all three of those Pokemon were boosted, but now after the fact, many players are voicing that they are going to struggle severely to find an Emolga in the wild, as the Pokemon is a rare spawn in Pokemon Go.
As well as the author’s experience, other comments back up this issue, with one person saying, “I chose this path and now it’s going to be unfulfilled for a long time. I chose this expecting to get an Emolga too, because I still don’t have a good one.”
In fact, this isn’t the only collection challenge causing problems for players, with one person adding, “You and me both brothers! But I’m even more stupid. I still have theCyndaquilchallenge pending from 2 weeks ago.”

“Eyyy, I’m at 3/7 Emolga and 6/15 Cyndaquil. Glad to at least be able to commiserate 😟. Totally sucks” added one comment.
Still, they didn’t even have the worst of it, with a separate person lamenting, “I’ve got 2/15 Porygons from like 2 years ago.”
These collection challenges can be a huge pain, but if you want some help clearing yours, be sure to check out all of theupcoming Pokemon Go events, as well as celebrations that give plenty of opportunities to catch those Pocket Monsters such asPokemon Go Community Day.
