A particularly fun one Pokémon shield a mistake that made the rounds online this week caused Snorlax to fly through the air and get away from the distance, which made the usual sight of such a large Pokémon. The bug is not one of the players you would normally find in the game, as it occurred in a pirated version Pokémon shield which made it even weirder and much better now that we’ve seen it.
The Twitter user showed the error in question on social media octozeppelin who shared the clip shown below Snorlax during the flight. The player ran across a bridge only to have a Snorlax free float of the enormous weight by which the Pokémon is normally known. When another user asked if the Pokémon was okay, the original poster responded with another clip showing Snorlax shooting into the distance.

Naturally, the scene generated all sorts of edits from people working on music and other animations to the clip that suited them best. All of this, combined with the video itself, made the clip quite popular, as it was viewed more than 1.6 million times on Twitter at the time of publication.
If you’re looking for a flying Snorlax in your game now after watching this clip, you may be disappointed to know that you probably won’t find any. The error shown in the previous video did not occur in a normal playback of Pokémon shield and was experienced in a pirated version of the game. The user who shared the video said he was playing with random hacking that made Pokemon come out of their normal environments and locations and added that this is not the first thing they have seen go wrong in a fun way.
It is due to a random hacking called Rainbow Shield. All the Pokémon in the world are random, so I’ve seen a lot of really fun things in the sky that don’t usually belong there.

News about the Sword and Shield Pokémon front has been quiet lately after the launch of the Corona Tundra DLC was made available not long ago, but the games were updated this month so players could download them. Recently, a new trailer was also released to show some of the Pokémon players to be found in the Galar region, but if you’ve been playing the games for a while, you’ve probably already known many, if not all.
