One of Pokemon Go’s rarest Ultra Beasts has frustrated players thanks to its unfavorable catch rate even with plenty of Excellent throws mixed in.
First introduced in Generation 7,Ultra Beastsare the literal aliens of the Pokemon world that have comparable power to Legendary and Mythical Pokemon.
While highly desirable, Ultra Beasts arenotorious for being a pain to catchwith their catch rates being set at some of the lowest levels of any Pokemon, something one trainer discovered the hard way.
Uncatchable Ultra Beast leaves Pokemon Go trainer empty-handed
Losing their minds while trying to catch aXurkitree, one Pokemon Go playerposted on Redditrevealing their bad luck trying to catch the Glowing Pokemon which has abase catch rate of just 2.50%.
The post titled, “14 excellent throws in a row. And it ran!” shows this trainer’s failed catch attempt with them following up, “I forgot to mention there was also 14 Golden raspberries,” emphasizing just how hard Xurkitree is to catch.
Sharing a similar story of their own, one trainer commented, “Same here, I had a 2239 which turns out is a 15/15/13, and I lost it after 15 excellent throws with g. razzberries. 5 remote raids (yay region lock!) and the best one ran despite hitting the tiniest excellents.”
Others Sympathized with OP’s bad luck replying, “Go buy a lottery ticket. You just lost the RNG lottery, your luck can’t get worse!” and simply “That’s BS.”
Some trainers tried to remain optimistic and encouraged them to stay optimistic, “Finally a post that rightfully complains about it running. Sorry it happened Good luck on the next one. Hopefully you get it!”
Outside ofremote raids, most Pokemon Go players will never get a chance to catch Xurkitree as it is exclusive to Asia. Its status as a regional exclusive and its low catch rate make the Electric type one of the rarest Pokemon in Niantic’s AR game.
