What is Farfetch’d?
Farfetch’d is a Pokemon species that first appeared in the original Pokemon games. It resembles a small bird-like creature holding a leek, and it has become a fan favorite over the years. In Pokemon Go, Farfetch’d is classified as a Normal/Flying type Pokemon and has unique characteristics that differentiate it from other species.
Where was Farfetch’d originally found?
When Pokemon Go was first released, Farfetch’d was exclusive to the Asia-Pacific region. This meant that players from other parts of the world had to rely on trading with players who lived in those regions or wait for special events to obtain this rare Pokemon. Its limited availability made it a highly coveted species among collectors.
Has Farfetch’d become available worldwide?
Yes, it has! In 2017, Niantic, the game’s developer, introduced a special event called the “Global Catch Challenge.” During this event, players from all over the world were encouraged to catch as many Pokemon as possible to unlock region-exclusive Pokemon. The community worked together and successfully unlocked Farfetch’d, making it available to players outside of the Asia-Pacific region for a limited time.
Can you still find Farfetch’d in Pokemon Go today?
Yes, you can! Following the Global Catch Challenge event, Niantic decided to make Farfetch’d a permanent addition to the worldwide Pokemon Go repertoire. Since then, Farfetch’d can be encountered and caught by players in any region. This was exciting news for trainers who had been longing to complete their Pokedex.
How can you find and catch Farfetch’d?
As Farfetch’d is no longer region-exclusive, trainers can encounter it throughout the game. Farfetch’d spawns in the wild, just like any other Pokemon. However, it is still considered a rare species, so it may not appear as frequently as common Pokemon. To increase your chances of finding Farfetch’d, try visiting areas with higher spawn rates, such as parks, popular landmarks, or areas with a high concentration of PokeStops.
Farfetch’d, once a highly elusive Pokemon, has now become a permanent addition to the global Pokemon Go experience. No matter where you’re located, you have the opportunity to encounter and catch this rare creature. So get out there, explore, and may you be lucky enough to spot Farfetch’d on your next Pokemon Go adventure!
