Okay, so, today I want to talk about getting Farfetch’d in Pokemon Go. This little guy is a regional exclusive, meaning you can only find him in certain parts of the world. Specifically, he’s usually hanging out in East Asia. But don’t worry, I managed to snag one, and I’ll tell you how I did it.
First off, I wasn’t traveling to Asia anytime soon, so I had to get creative. I remembered that Pokemon Go sometimes has special events where they switch up the regional Pokemon or make them available worldwide for a limited time. So, I kept an eye on the game’s news and announcements. I checked the official Pokemon Go website and followed a bunch of Pokemon Go groups on social media to stay updated.

Then, one day, bam! They announced a special event where Farfetch’d would be appearing globally for a short period. I think it was part of some kind of celebration, but honestly, I was too excited to read the fine print. I marked the dates on my calendar and prepared myself.
My Strategy
- Stocked Up on Supplies: I made sure I had plenty of Poke Balls, especially Great Balls and Ultra Balls, just in case. I also stocked up on Razz Berries to make catching easier.
- Cleared Bag Space: I cleared out my Pokemon storage to make room for any Farfetch’d I encountered. No way was I going to miss out because my bag was full.
- Planned My Routes: I looked up the best places in my area for catching Pokemon, like parks and areas with lots of PokeStops. I figured these would be the best spots to find Farfetch’d during the event.
When the event finally started, I was ready. I went out to those high-traffic Pokemon areas and kept my eyes peeled. I used Incense to attract more Pokemon to my location and Lures on PokeStops to increase spawns. I walked around for hours, catching everything that popped up, hoping to stumble upon that elusive leek-wielding duck.
And guess what? After a few days of dedicated hunting, it finally happened! I saw Farfetch’d on my screen, and I almost couldn’t believe it. I carefully threw a Razz Berry, then an Ultra Ball, and held my breath. One shake, two shakes, three shakes… and click! I caught it!
It was such a satisfying moment. All that preparation and effort paid off. I even managed to catch a few more during the event, so I could trade with friends who weren’t as lucky.
So, that’s my story of how I got Farfetch’d in Pokemon Go. It took some patience, planning, and a bit of luck, but it was totally worth it. If you’re trying to catch a regional Pokemon, keep an eye out for special events, and don’t give up! You never know when your chance will come.
