A player has claimed to have caught a legendary Pokemon in the form of Articuno this is one of the characters that apparently can’t be caught at the moment do to the Legendary Pokemon not being released yet. Someone did snoop into the Pokemon files to obtain a list of Legendary Pokemon and Articuno was on that very list.
Multiple Reddit users have spotted this rare Pokemon on top of a Gym in Ohio and have provided screen shots to prove this.
There was also video of someone finding this at the gym location.
The owner of the Articuno is called Kaitcovey who posted about her Pokemon on the Facebook page claiming to have been given the rare Pokemon as part of an apology by the games developer Niantic after contacting them about an issue.
Now I’m not sure how true this actually is as I could see Niantic getting a lot of flack from loyal fans if they were to give Legendary Pokemon away in this manner.
Another reason for Articuno’s appearance could be due to data being modified in the game by an external tool which is not impossible to achieve, although this could cause a huge headache for Niantic to resolve if this is the case and the hack shall we say becomes widespread and other users carry it out.
Another possibility is a glitch in the game causing another type of Pokemon to evolve into a Articuno as there was a report today of a visual bug which caused a Caterpie to reveal itself as a Charizard once captured.
The possibilities are endless but at the moment no one knows the truth of how this Articuno came to be except for the owner.
So that’s all from me for now lets wait and see what Niantic come back with once the news reaches them.
