Top 10 rarest Pokémon in Pokémon GO

Several factors influence the level of Pokémon rarity. In fact, you need to take into account its availability, its sometimes specific locations, and its appearance only at certain special events.

Now that you have these elements in mind, here is the list of Top 10 rarest Pokémon in Pokémon GO.

1. The legendary trio: Créfadet, Créfollet and Créhelf

If you already own Créfadet, Créfollet and Créhelf in your Pokédex, we take our hat off to you, as they are extremely difficult to collect.

The reason is simple: each member of this Psy-type trio can only be found in one specific region.

But don't be fooled. The Pokémon in your location won't be easy to capture either, since you'll have to beat it during a Legendary Raid (5 stars).

The best way to complete your collection would be to be able to trade with trainers in another location.

2. Pokémon of the Zarbi family

Here's our advice:

To avoid giving him a chance to escape, and the risk of having to wait a long time for the scenario to recur, we advise you to keep an Ultra Ball as well as Golden Raspberries to guarantee a successful capture.

Finally, with a view to bringing 28 Pokémon Zarbi, keep an eye on the various Pokémon GO special events that boost their appearance in nature. By stepping up your efforts at these key moments, you could reach your goal faster than expected.

How can we not include Tritox and its evolution in this list of Pokémon GO's rarest Pokémon ? The rarity of a Malamandre is directly linked to its Tritox pre-evolution. The latter is available in eggs that require 12 km from a trainer to hatch it.

However, two factors come into play and make things difficult:

• Firstly, there's no guarantee that the egg that hatches after your 12 km will be a Tritox. So you need to be prepared to several routes before running into him.
• Secondly, even if you do meet him, it would be better for you if it were a Female Tritox. Only the latter can evolve into Malamandre.

If you'd like to try your luck in the wild and go hunting for wild Malamandra, you should know that the odds are not in excess of the 12,5 %. As you can see, the first option seems the most viable, consisting of hatch an egg.
