Pokemon Go players spot widespread missing Annhiliape glitch
GAME FREAK / THE POKEMON COMPANYPokemon Go players have spotted a major glitch in Annihilape’s design, making the Pokemon disappear for tons of fans.
Pokemon in Pokemon Go are typically visible both on the overworld map, in the Pokedex, and as Buddies. Even if they’re ghost types. So, when this player’s buddy Pokemon was nowhere to be seen, they shared a screenshot asking fans if anyone had experienced a similar issue.
It seems tons of players are experiencing a major Annihilape glitch in their games, with many reporting the now invisible Fighting/Ghost type truly embracing its ghostly nature.
Pokemon disappears in a mysterious worldwide phenomenon.
“Anyone else’s Anihilapes invisible right now?” asked the Pokemon Go player, sharing their missing Buddy.
Other fans quickly piled in with similar glitches and oddities in the case of the disappearing monkey.
“It’s the John Cena Pokemon. You can’t see him.” Jokes one player while another highlighted how they’d had a similar issue: “Yep. In battle, its little preview image is a blank Pikachu.
It seems the poster wasn’t alone, as one took to the comments to thank the poster: “Thank goodness for your post. I was going crazy, wondering what happened to our accounts. I can’t even swap out my buddy. Just get the error message whatever I try to do.”
Not all comments were serious, however, with some joking that Annihilape had fainted and was gone forever. “Simply open your third eye and peer into the afterlife; you’ll see it there.”
Far from being an in-game event or the introduction of John Cena, the occurrence is most likely a simple glitch. “I updated the app about 20 minutes ago, and that fixed it for me,” explained one fan.
Perhaps Niantic will introduce a new Anihilape sprite? No one knows for sure, but the glitch is unlikely to last for long. So, make sure to grab a screenshot of your invisible buddy while he’s the John Cena type.
