Pokémon GO: Icognito catch in Germany
Since the second generation was integrated into Pokémon GO, you can also catch icognito. In this practical tip, we will tell you where to find the popular letter Pokemon and what you need to consider when catching.
Find and catch icognito in Pokémon GO - all information
As in the Gold and Silver Edition, Icognito also has 28 different forms of appearance in Pokémon GO (26 letters as well as exclamation and question marks). But although there are so many icognito shapes, the Pokémon is one of the rarest pocket monsters in the game.
- Since Icognito is psycho-type, you are most likely to see the Pokémon in normal cities. Icognito is said to have already been sighted in Berlin. Occasionally, however, it can also appear in other places.
- The spawn rate, the probability that Icognito just appears like this, is extremely low. If you want to collect all forms, you have to be very patient.
- When catching, Icognito is no different from other Pokémon. Depending on the strength of the icognito encountered, use a Poké, Super or Hyperball. For safety, you can also throw a raspberry beforehand.
- Tip: Use a lock module on a PokéStop so that more Pokémon appear for 30 minutes. With luck, there is an icognito underneath.
Pokémon GO: Catch Icognito in raids
Since the arena update in June 2017, you can also catch rare Pokémon in so-called raids. The selection of raid Pokémon is currently limited and an icognito is not yet one of the catchable Pokémon - but it is still conceivable that the letter Pokémon will appear in an arena at a later time. In order not to miss this, proceed as follows:
- Tap the wild Pokémon icon at the bottom right and switch to the "Raid" tab.
- All currently running raids in your area will appear there. Here you either already see which Pokémon you can fight or only a large egg appears. If the latter is the case, wait until the time shown to reveal the Pokémon behind it.
- Recognize an icognito in the preview, run to the appropriate arena within the time shown and start the fight. It's best to compete with several friends there, since the raid Pokemon are all very strong.
- If you defeat Icognito, you will receive several Poké Balls that you can use to catch it. Be sure to check out our Pokémon GO fishing tips
Pokémon GO: Catch Icognito and earn badges
It takes a lot of luck and patience to even encounter an icognito. Those who are not intimidated by this and continue to collect are rewarded with a special badge.
- A bronze medal is awarded to three captured icognito of different shapes.
- Whoever owns ten different icognito will be rewarded with silver.
- For the golden badge, however, you must have caught all 26 forms of icognito.
Catch Celebi: With Icognito to the legendary Pokémon
The legendary Pokémon Celebi was shown for the first time at the GO Festival in Chicago in 2018. Unlike Mewto and Co., Celebi cannot be caught in a raid.
- Instead, American Pokémon players must catch the icognitos of the letters "C", "E", "L", "B", "I". Together they give the name "Celebi" and pave the way to the legendary pocket monster.
- It has not yet been clarified whether this also works in Germany. However, Celebi will probably initially only be available at the event in Chicago. There could be other tasks for the worldwide release of the Pokémon - we will keep you up to date.
