A Pokemon Go fan has achieved the ultimate milestone, trading for a Shiny “Drip” Lapras that ends up being Lucky. The trade comes after a long-standing dedication and love for the specially-dressed Water-type.
One of the most exciting parts of playing Pokemon Go is finding a specific species that is near and dear to a player’s heart. For some, this is the well-loved mascots Charizard and Pikachu, but others have their affections set on more surprising options.
In recent months, Pokemon Go has hosted several exciting events, including the Season of Alola long-term celebration during the spring. During this time, players had the chance to participate in the Water Festival, which hosted a few Pokemon wearing event-themed accessories.
While Legendary Pokemon Tapu Fini was meant to be the centerpiece of the event, a Kanto Water-type ended up stealing the show. This “Drip” Lapras, which could be caught wearing a little striped scarf tied in a bow around its neck, had players hitting raid stops in a desperate hope to catch it Shiny.
