QUELLE: NIANTIC
An Australian coach set a new record in Pokémon Go. The player exchanged over 19,000 Pokémon worldwide with other players since implementing the swap function. He was also able to hoard more than 1,000 lucky Pokémon.
The AR smartphone game Pokémon Go is still played diligently and so always interesting statistics and records come to light. Another milestone was recently reached by an Australian Pokémon coach. The user named "SrTayeNeo" has since exchanged over 19,000 Pokémon with other players around the world since the exchange function was available.
Pokémon Go: Many lucky Pokémon by exchange function
Pokémon transforms into Pokémon Go when traded between two coaches with a certain probability of being lucky Pokémon. So if you trade a lot, you may also have a lot of lucky Pokémon. This is what happened with the Australian record hunter. He was able to accumulate a supply of more than unbelievable 1,000 lucky Pokémon through his numerous barter deals. Also this number is a record, which so far no other player in Pokémon Go could reach.
Background to the developer: Pokémon Go: According to investors, Niantic is worth four billion dollars
According to the interview with MeinMMO, the motivation of the Australian coach was that he wanted to set up his own record. Records for experience points or stardust were far away for him as other players already dominated these areas. Since the exchange function was implemented later after the release, he saw his chance here. For SyTayeNeo, the opportunity to meet friends and make new friends around the world was also crucial. So it's not surprising that his exchanged Pokémon have already completed a total of 24 million kilometers. That's something to be proud of.
