How Rare is Frillish in Pokemon Go?
Pokemon Go has been a favorite mobile game since its release back in 2016. One of the goals of the game is to capture as many Pokemon as possible. But not all Pokemon are easy to find, and that includes the Jellyfish Pokemon, Frillish. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the rarity of Frillish in Pokemon Go, and everything you need to know about encountering, catching, and evolving this elusive creature.
What is Frillish
Before we discuss its rarity, let’s first define what Frillish is. Frillish is a dual-type water/ghost Pokemon, with a jellyfish-like appearance. It was first introduced in the fifth generation of the Pokemon game series, in Pokemon Black and White. Its name is derived from ‘frilled jellyfish,’ which is fitting given its appearance.
How to Encounter Frillish
One of the main ways to encounter Frillish is by hatching it through 5km egg. However, this does not guarantee that you will hatch Frillish, as the egg pool is quite large. Another way to encounter Frillish is through raids. While it is not a common raid boss, it does occasionally appear in tier 1 raids. Lastly, you can encounter Frillish in the wild. However, given its rarity, encountering it can often feel like finding a needle in a haystack.
