A Pokemon GO player has finally completed a challenge that has taken them 3 years to beat, and they’re taking the time to celebrate.

Pokemon GO has a lot of difficult challenges to complete that revolve around interacting with Pokemon that only will appear for a limited amount of time.

This has resulted in some players spending years trying to complete them if they haven’t already resorted to leaving the challenge behind entirely.

Recently, a fan decided to stick it out and finally finished a challenge after three years, and they’re celebrating it on social media.

In a post on the game’s subreddit, the player says, “it’s been almost 3 years…. the day has finally come.”

The post comes with an image of the game saying they’ve finished the challenge to take a snapshot of Thundurus.

Thundurus is a Legendary Pokemon introduced in Generation V and plays a role in the Season of Legends Special Research.

The response from the community has been complimentary of actually completing it: “Wow way to go! I need this too!!”
