Pokemon Go trainer blessed with insanely rare Pikachu catch for 02-22-2022
NianticA Pokemon Go trainer had plenty of reason to celebrate February 22 this year after finding an insanely rare Libre Pikachu on the palindrome date.

“What a catch on 02-22-2022, they said. “Still feels unreal.” They later added that it was their first encounter after hitting Legend in Go Battle League.
Pokemon Go Libre Pikachu catch
The timing of the trainer’s catch was a fun detail, especially since they had just qualified to even find Libre Pikachu in the first place.
But getting it on the two-rrific date made the catch all the more special. Both the trainer and fellow PoGo community members had the perfect way to commemorate the haul.
“You better rename him Pikatwo,” one player suggested. The new Libre Pikachu owner was all too enthusiastic to oblige since the idea would be a fitting way to mark the unique encounter.
