In the vast world of Pokemon GO, trainers worldwide vie to catch the rarest and most powerful Pokemon to add to their collection. The excitement of encountering a Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO, with its unique color palette, is unparalleled. However, one player's recent catch has the community in stitches, proving that sometimes, creativity and a good sense of humor can make any Pokemon catch memorable. The main Reddit post, by user AlexDuChat, underpinning this hilarious event was captioned,

"Finally a Shiny Kyogre. Some envious people will say it's a Wailmer"

Hilarious Wailmer catch becomes the highlight of a Reddit discussion among Pokemon GO community

The subject of this humorous episode is a Shiny Wailmer, which, through the magic of a doodle, transformed into what the player jokingly called a "Shiny Kyogre." This unique transformation wasn't achieved through in-game mechanics or a rare encounter. Instead, it resulted from a playful drawing added onto a screenshot of the Shiny Wailmer.

The doodle turned the gentle giant of the sea into a buffed-up version of Kyogre, complete with menacing red eyes, muscular arms ready to flex at any moment, and an exaggerated, toothy grin. This artistic addition gave the Pokemon an amusing personality, which was far from its original design and certainly not something developers had in mind.

This nickname encapsulates the essence of the doodle, merging the world of Pokemon with pop culture in an unexpected twist.
