pickachu is unquestionably the most popular and the most wanted rare pokemon in pokemon go. it’s not that easy to find such rare pokemon. some players still haven’t got one after weeks of playing. there is an easier way to catch pikachu for starting players, though. if you have just started setting up the game, you can have pikachu as your first pokemon.
when professor willow tells you to go choose your starter, the initial trio will spawn on the in-game map. typically, clicking on one initiates a battle, resulting in you obtaining your first pokémon. if you don’t select a pokémon, however — if you just keep walking away instead — the three will disappear, then respawn in front of you.
once pikachu shows up, you can engage it in battle as normal. it’s your call on whether going through the trouble to catch this guy is worth it. if you don’t want to spend lots of time on farming rare pokemon in the game, dpsvip can help you get pikachu fast and cheap.
