In case you didn’t know, there are manyCostume Pokemonin Go, which are fancy creatures wearing clothes.
Some are more rare than others, and the elusive Ph.D. Pikachu isone of the hardest to earn, though not quite as hard as spending years studying and getting a Ph.D.
This pint-sized professor can only be found when players enter—and win—100 PokeStop showcases, so most players can only dream of encountering this smart fella. But one player has done not just that, but they have found just about the most “perfect” Ph.D.Pikachu anyone could ever hope for.

Sharing theircatch on X, the Pokemon Go player revealed a version of the rare Pikachu with perfect IVs, naming it a 4* Pokemon by Pokemon Go standards. When any player gets a Ph.D. Pikachu, the stats of the Pokemon are rolled at random, so to earn these stats on this rare Pokemon is wildly lucky.
Other Pokemon fans threw their support behind the catch in the comments, with one person commenting, “That’s crazy! Congrats,” while another added, “This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome! Congratulations.”
A separate comment points out just how rare the Pokemon is, calling it “Perfect,” while a slightly more informal comment just adds, “Wooooow.”
