Pokémon Go is all the rage. The new augmented reality game, in which players search their real-world environs in hopes of capturing Pokémon — cartoon monsters with special powers — was released by Niantic in July. What are some of the rare creatures intrepid Pokémon hunters are finding in Las Vegas?
Puckpuff
Thrilled that hockey is coming to Las Vegas; probably won’t attend because parking is hard.
Zombold
Usually found lurking in slot-machine bars, Zombold emits a powerful cloud of secondhand Virginia Slims smoke, incapacitating enemies before stealing all their Deuces Wild credits.
Grubdude
This spiky-haired monster spontaneously conjures mounds of over-flavored food, which he uses to taunt encroaching foodies.
Jerzeyboiz
Sings songs of the ancients, then disappears inexplicably.
Doormonger
If your name is on his magical list, you may pass. But, sorry, your name is not on the list.
His desperately enthusiastic shouts of “Vegas, baby!” at Denny’s at 4 a.m. are secretly a primal wail of loneliness and woe.
