Pokémon GO Glitch? Wild Spawns Now Include Tinkatink, Noivern, Haxorus, and More

Something unusual is happening in Pokémon GO. Trainers have reported a number of new Pokémon appearing as wild spawns in their area, some of which are not expected to be available as Wild Encounters at all. These include Tinkatink, Skiddo, Sizzlipede and a growing number of last stage evolutions like Noivern, Haxorus, and Tinkaton.

There is no official reason why these Pokémon would be appearing in the wild, as they are not part of the ongoing Water Festival 2025 event or the Season of Delightful Days possible wild encounters. Maybe it’s just a bug on Pokémon GO’s side that is currently making this possible.

An incomplete list of unusual spawns

When events like this happen, it is hard to find a comprehensive list of new spawns, but we found one on reddit which we think is fairly accurate and complete.

Potentially complete list

Another redditor created what seems to be a comprehensive list of new spawns, but we cannot verify its correctness. Still, we are sharing it here for our readers to get a general idea of how impactful this change is.

Whether this is a temporary glitch or an unannounced test by Niantic, Trainers should take advantage of these spawns while they last. If you spot other rare or unexpected Pokémon in the wild, report them. This may be a limited-time opportunity to catch species normally locked behind events or evolutions. Stay safe Trainers, and check back for updates as this situation develops.
