10 Rare Pokémon You Only Had ONE CHANCE To Catch
8. Mew! - Pokémon R/B/Y Virtual Console Event
Until the day of our last breath there will likely always be someone who claims that they were able to capture Mew in the original Pokémon Red and Blue by locating them under that bloody truck before the Cruise Ship section.
Despite this being proven time and time again to be a hoax, the legend still rumbles on.
However, if you really want to talk about legendarily rare encounters with Mew, then look no further than the exclusive Mew that was gifted to just a handful of players attending a UK and Ireland launch party for Pokémon Sun and Moon!
Here according to those who attended the event, trading stations were set up around the one-night event which allowed them to acquire an English Mew for the Virtual Console Editions of Red, Blue, and Yellow!
As the event only had around 200 in attendance and was limited to one per person, this makes it one of the rarest event Pokémon in existence.
