Summary
- Pokemon GO players are buzzing about a mysterious new item that appeared in the game due to a glitch.
- Niantic is known for adding exciting new items like the Master Ball to keep gameplay fresh and engaging.
- Trainers are speculating on the purpose of the mystery item, which a recent datamine suggests may increase field research tasks.
Some Pokemon GO players have received an item not yet available in the game due to a glitch, and the game's community is curious to know what it might be. Pokemon GO has several items that help players with tasks such as hatching eggs, evolving, capturing, and battling Pokemon. Most of these items are obtained by spinning PokeStops or in Gyms, but leveling up or winning Raid Battles are other ways to get them.
Pokemon GO has a variety of items that are important for gameplay, such as Poke Balls for catching Pokemon, Rocket Radars for finding Team GO Rocket Leaders and Giovanni, or Lure Modules for attracting wild Pokemon. But Niantic works actively to keep the game exciting, whether it's with tweaks to existing items or the addition of new ones, such as the debut of the Master Ball in Pokemon GO. Because of the game's active development, sometimes content appears in Pokemon GO earlier than expected, as is the case with a potential new item found by some players.
Reddit user McLovin1019 got an item that hasn't been released yet due to a Pokemon GO glitch. The player shared a screenshot of an item with an orange label and the image of a binocular but with no name or description indicating its use. In the comments, other Redditors reported seeing the item while playing Pokemon GO, but it is unknown if there is a way to replicate the glitch to get the item. In addition to the OP, YouTuber PkmnMasterShubh was one of those who received the mysterious object and showed it in a short video.
Pokemon GO Players Curious About Unreleased Item
With the appearance of the mysterious item, it didn't take long for Pokemon GO trainers to start wondering what its purpose in the game might be. A comment from the Reddit post noted that it was datamined a few weeks ago, and its name "is 'cassette' or something similar." They highlight the image of the binoculars, speculating that it might be a way to increase the number of field research tasks Pokemon GO players can have.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time Pokemon GO players got something before launch. Last year, Kyurem Black and White appeared in Pokemon GO as a reward for trainers who played PvP. As for the "cassette" item, its function in Pokemon GO isn't yet known, or even whether it is an animation for some action like receiving paid research. So far, Niantic hasn't commented on this potential leak.
