Pokemon Go fans are in a frenzy after a player shared a photo of an in-game glitch that turned them into a raid. Despite being almost a decade old, Pokemon Go still boasts a large player base and continues to introduce new content regularly. However, the game is not without its bugs and glitches, with the most recent one causing quite a stir among fans.
The glitch in question is related to the raid game mode, which is one of the most popular features of Pokemon Go. A player on Reddit reported that the game had transformed them into a raid, a feature that players can interact with but should not be able to become themselves. The player also mentioned that they were stuck in this mode for an extended period before finally being freed. The initial poster humorously captioned their Reddit thread, “Guess I’m a raid.”
Fellow Pokemon Go enthusiasts joined in the conversation on the Reddit post, finding the situation amusing. One fan jokingly asked if the player had an egg, while another added a sense of urgency by pretending to catch the raid. As of now, there has been no response from developer Niantic regarding the glitch, and it remains to be seen when or if they will address it.
