A Pokemon GO player has recently discovered a glitch in which a wild Mewtwo “turns into a skater” by seemingly using a Falinks as a skateboard. While bugs are not a constant nuisance in Pokemon GO, most gamers who play for a while have encountered them at least a few times, and this one stands out due to being quite funny.
Pokemon GO was released in 2016, reaching over 232 million players at the peak of its popularity.

While it’s unknown how this glitch happened, both Pokemon were likely in the same region and a glitch connected their models, giving the impression that Mewtwo was using the Falinks as a skateboard.

This glitch likely happened due to an avatar’s head becoming too big, and while its body could still be there at the time, the enlarged object was so big that it made it impossible for anyone to see it.
Another somewhat funny glitch happened earlier this year. In this case, a player discovered a Tyranitar defending the same Gym for over 54 years in Pokemon GO. Fortunately, this was only a visual glitch, as the Gym’s defense was still working as usual, according to the gamer who found this weird bug.
Unfortunately, even one of the most recent Pokemon GO updates seems to be causing bugs. After the controversial avatar changes, several Pokemon GO player
