Pokémon GO casual walk leads to encounter with pro player boasting 1.2 billion XP, 250,000+ battles won, and 500,000+ catches

Trainers, we recently stumbled upon a fascinating thread on the Pokémon GO subreddit that we couldn’t help but share with you all. Sometimes, the best stories are the ones that happen when we least expect them. And trust us, this one by u/Prestigious_Care3042 is a jaw-dropper.

So, here’s the rundown. u/Prestigious_Care3042 was out and about, enjoying a walk while nabbing some Pokémon. They mentioned to their walking buddy how their phone battery was running low. Just then, a kind passerby walking their dog overheard them and offered a portable power pack. Not only did they provide some much-needed juice for the phone but also decided to join the walk.

But here comes the kicker. Upon exchanging friend codes and checking out the stats, u/Prestigious_Care3042 was absolutely floored. The friendly stranger turned out to be a Pokémon GO wizard with a staggering 17,500 km walked, 254,000 battles won, 568,000 Pokémon caught, and a whopping 1.2 billion XP. Talk about hardcore!

Absolutely shocked.
