Pokemon GO players are encountering a bizarre glitch that causes the iconic Zamazenta to photobomb them. This legendary Pokemon is causing issues for players attempting to snap a photo in Pokemon GO, with a wild Zamazenta showing up in their pictures and collection even if they have not added it to their Pokedex.
Pokemon GO has been hit with a variety of visual glitches and bugs recently, with one of the game’s newest updates wreaking havoc on the buddy system. While it did not launch alongside the game in 2016, Pokemon GO‘s buddy system quickly became a crucial aspect of the mobile game, fundamentally changing the experience for all players. With Buddy Pokemon, players can earn specific candy, which allows them to upgrade and strengthen their collection inside Pokemon GO. However, Pokemon GO rolled out an update earlier this year that caused a plethora of visual glitches to affect this system and other areas of the game.

Players are shedding light on this new bug, which sees the legendary Zamazenta randomly appear in players’ photos. Reddit user u/stubenfliegin shared a photo of the glitch in action, revealing that Zamazenta had merged with one of the other Pokemon in their collection. This bizarre fusion means trouble for players attempting to get a better look at the Pokemon currently in their Pokedex.
Pokemon GO Glitch Causes Bizarre Photobomb
This appearance of Zamazenta is made even more perplexing due to how rare it is to find one in-game. Pokemon GO is filled with rare Pokemon to catch and collect, but the legendary Zamazenta only debuted during events in 2021. This means that a wide range of players may not have their own Zamazenta, but he may still show up in their photos. It’s likely that developer Niantic will roll out a new patch that addresses this bug in the near future, but players will simply need to hang on until then.
Pokemon GO allows fans to catch pocket monsters on the go, utilizing global positioning technology to provide players with an experience unlike anything seen within the long-running series. Pokemon GO practically redefined what mobile gaming could look like upon release back in 2016. Pokemon GO is free for all players, challenging them to hunt and collect a huge variety of pocket monsters. Rare variants can be hard to find sometimes, but players are encouraged to always keep looking, with new and exciting Pokemon always one catch away.
