Rare Pokemon No More! Trainer Shares Strategy to Consistently Encounter Legendary Birds in Pokemon GO

A Pokemon GO player may have figured out a trick to catch the Galarian Birds more easily. What’s interesting is that other Pokemon GO fans have also reported similar experiences, which makes a strong case for this trick.

The Galarian Birds—Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos—were added to Pokemon GO from Pokemon Sword and Shield’s Crown Tundra expansion. They are known for being very challenging to catch in the game.

One reason is that they can only be encountered through Daily Incense spawns. But even finding them is just the start of the challenge because these birds escape from Pokeballs very often. However, a player seems to have discovered a method to improve their chances of catching them.

In a post on the Pokemon GO subreddit, user cutiepatatao shared their experience, suggesting that the Galarian Birds’ spawn behavior might not be random. They noticed that they encountered Galarian Zapdos and Articuno on the same day while taking a different route to school. This made them think that the Galarian Birds might have specific spawn locations.

They tried different routes for several days without another encounter until they went back to that route again, and Galarian Zapdos appeared once more. This suggests that the birds might spawn repeatedly in certain locations rather than randomly. Other players shared similar stories, finding the Galarian Birds appearing consistently in specific routes.

One player mentioned using Daily Incense regularly on a particular route and had multiple encounters with the Galarian Birds, eventually catching all three. However, they noticed that the birds stopped spawning along that route after some time, so it might not always work.

Overall, catching the Galarian Birds in Pokemon GO remains challenging, and players might need to use their Master Ball to catch them.
