Finding a glitch in your favorite game is always funny. One Pokemon Go player discovered a strange glitch recently that they dubbed “Pixeltar” after beating a Raid.
What was the last video game glitch you saw? Seeing something odd in one of your favorite games can be quite funny, especially if it’s unexpected. Pokemon Go is a great game but it does have its fair share of odd moments and glitches that usually leave the community in hysterics.
One player took to r/pokemongo on Reddit recently to share a strange screenshot that they affectionately nicknamed “Pixeltar” after beating a Raid – and other players loved it, comparing it to all sorts of other random video games and characters.
Pokemon Go player finds unusual “Pixeltar” glitch
A Pokemon Go player shared a snap of the strange glitch in this post on Reddit with the caption “after beating a raid, I got to encounter… PIXELTAR” . The images show a very distorted, blocky Tyranitar, along with a random Lillipup candy on the next slide.
Weirdest glitch. After beating a raid, i got to encounter… PIXELTAR byu/Matcha3212 inpokemongo
Other Pokemon Go players found the post hilarious, with one joking that it reminded them of the unofficial ‘mon MissingNo. If you’ve not heard of this before, it’s a strange glitch Pokemon that can show up in the earlier Pokemon generations like Red & Blue.
It reminded other players of different franchises, with one person commenting, “Paper Pokemon” , and another affectionately naming the creature as the “ROBLOX Version” .
Some viewers were baffled by the random Lillipup candy, asking OP where it came from. The original poster simply replied, ” Keen eye. I had run out of Pokemon storage so I cleared it by transferring a Lillipup right before this encounter, thus getting a Lillipup candy in the process.”
It’s not entirely clear why this glitch happened, but it is always funny to see something like this pop up in a popular game like Pokemon Go. Based on what we’ve seen, this does seem to be a random incident instead of an ongoing issue in the game.
