A Pokemon GO player has an unexpected surprise when playing the game, with a Zorua appearing out in the open for the player to capture. The beloved monster-catching mobile game from Niantic features a litany of creatures from throughout the history of the franchise, allowing fans the opportunity to pick up all their favorites. Pokemon GO has consistently added new Pokemon to the game since its launch in 2016, recently introducing Charcadet, Armarouge, and Ceruledge to the game. Now, a fan has found a strange quirk with one of the game's most unusual encounters.
While many of Pokemon GO's roster of creatures can easily be found by going out and exploring, certain Pokemon within the game are not so easy to find. Popular classic Pokemon Ditto boasts a special mechanic based on its appearance and playstyle within the main-series games, transforming itself into other Pokemon until captured. Zorua also shares a similar mechanic, disguising itself in the game's overworld as a duplicate of the player's Buddy Pokemon. Now, however, one fan's recent discovery of a wild Zorua bucks the Pokemon's normal mechanics.
Reddit user -Catsofmany showed off the unusual encounter on the Pokemon GO subreddit, showcasing the strange overworld Zorua. Unlike the Pokemon's normal disguised appearance, the player's screenshot shows a Zorua taking its original form on the in-game map. In a normal situation, the Zorua would have taken on the appearance of the player's Buddy Pokemon, shown within the image to be a shiny Gourgeist. Some fans in the replies of the post jokingly suggested that the in-game Zorua may actually be a Ditto, disguising itself as the other transforming Pokemon.
The unusual encounter saw plenty of other Pokemon GO fans speculating about what could have caused the Zorua's appearance. Several fans suggested that swapping Buddy Pokemon multiple times can cause a wild Zorua to glitch into its original form, unable to keep up with the changes. Others questioned how an in-game Zorua would react if the player set their Buddy Pokemon to Zorua, joking that a wild Zorua would transform into a copy of itself. The user did not share any further comments about the circumstances behind the encounter.
Pokemon GO has recently rolled out a plethora of changes to the game to welcome in its newest season. The debut of «World of Wonders» saw the previously-mentioned introduction of Charcadet, alongside teasers for an event focused around Pokemon Sun and Moon's Ultra Beasts. Niantic also recently hinted at a new Mega Evolution coming to Pokemon GO, with Heracross set to finally receive its Mega form. Pokemon GO's frequent updates and regular additions of new Pokemon keep the game going strong nearly eight years after its launch.

A Pokemon GO player who left their Shiny Gible in a gym has realized that getting them back could prove to be a problem. They shared their thoughts with other Pokemon GO fans, who seemed largely sympathetic, and offered some idea of how long the player might have to wait. While it's not mandatory by any means, participating at Pokemon Gyms offers a lot of benefits to players. If a player comes across a gym that's controlled by another team, they can fight the Pokemon there to take over the gym for their own team. When happening upon a gym that's already controlled by one's own team, the player can choose to support the Pokemon there or add their own if there's a vacancy. This is what one player did far from home, only to realize that they might not get their rare Pokemon back.
