Some Pokémon are extremely difficult to find and catch. A streamer wanted to catch a specific water-type Pokémon. After 3 years he finally did it and appears visibly relieved.

Anyone who plays Pokémon knows that some people are passionate about collecting their Pokémon to complete the Pokedex. A streamer has now taken it to the extreme.

Because Twitch streamer Reversa really wanted to catch a very specific Pokémon. But he chose a very bad candidate. That’s also the reason why he’s been looking for the cattle for years.

Streamer really wants to catch a specific water Pokémon

What kind of Pokémon is this? The Pokémon Basswa looks like an oversized fish and isn’t particularly strong on paper. In addition to the unhelpful attack “Splash”, Barschwa also has “Tackle” and “Flail” on offer.

However, the Twitch streamer really wanted to catch the Pokémon, in its shiny version. But there were three problems that he was confronted with:

  • On the one hand, Barschwa only appears in the 2nd route in Pokémon Sword and cannot be found otherwise in the game.
  • On the other hand, according to Pokewiki, the frequency is 1%.
  • In addition, the Pokémon Barschwa is not visible. This means that the Pokémon does not move visibly across the map and therefore you cannot “farm” it specifically, but have to keep fishing for it.

    • With a frequency of 1%, the probability that the Pokémon is also shiny is extremely small. It’s more likely that you’ll find dozens of Magikarp or Kamehapse that you don’t want at all.

    This is what Barschwa looks like. A fairly unspectacular Pokémon with comparatively weak attacks.

    How long did the streamer take? Pokémon: Sword and Shield was released on November 15, 2019. However, Reversa really wanted to catch a shiny basswa. After 1,383 days and a total of 236,183 attempts, he finally caught his Pokémon.

    He showed the excerpt of how he catches the Pokémon on Twitter. It’s nice to see how the streamer completely freaks out when he finally has the right Pokémon in front of him. He jumps out of his chair and hops through the stream:

    Anyone who has been looking for a specific creature in the game for a long time will certainly understand the streamer’s enthusiasm and relief.

    While the streamer is overjoyed with his successful catch, other players are currently quite dissatisfied with the mobile branch of Pokémon Go. Because the players are apparently running out of balls. You can read more about this on MeinMMO:
