The highly anticipated Mewtwo raid event in Times Square has caused quite a stir among Pokémon Go players. The rare and powerful Pokémon has been a hot topic since its release in the popular mobile game, and now it’s making headlines once again.
According to reports, a group of players managed to catch a perfect IV (individual value) Mewtwo during the raid event. This means that the Pokémon has the highest possible stats, making it a coveted prize among players. The lucky group was able to capture the Mewtwo with a 100% IV rating, also known as a “hundo.”
The event, which took place in the heart of New York City, drew in a large crowd of players hoping to catch their own Mewtwo. However, not everyone was able to snag a hundo. In fact, some players were so determined to get their hands on one that they turned to eBay to purchase the rare Pokémon.
Listings for Mewtwo with perfect IVs have been popping up on eBay, with some sellers asking for hundreds of dollars for the virtual creature. This has sparked controversy among the Pokémon Go community, with some players accusing these sellers of taking advantage of the game’s mechanics.
Despite the backlash, it seems that the demand for a hundo Mewtwo is still high. This is not the first time that rare Pokémon have been sold on eBay, with previous listings for other highly sought-after creatures reaching thousands of dollars.
It’s important to note that purchasing Pokémon through third-party sellers goes against the game’s terms of service and can result in a ban from the game. Niantic, the developer of Pokémon Go, has not yet commented on the situation.
As for the lucky players who managed to catch a hundo Mewtwo during the Times Square raid, they have become the envy of many. With the event being a one-time opportunity, it’s unlikely that another perfect IV Mewtwo will be available in the game anytime soon.
The Mewtwo raid event in Times Square has once again proven the popularity and excitement surrounding Pokémon Go. While some may criticize the reselling of rare Pokémon, it’s clear that the demand for these virtual creatures is still going strong.
