Three Secret Legendary Pokemon Discovered in Washington County Maryland

Tired of catching rats, birds, and caterpillars?

Want  to catch unique Pokemon with powerful attacks and unique appearances?

Look no further! The Hagerstown Report has assembled a guide of Washington County, MD's rarest Pokemon!

Allygator

This water-type Pokemon is rumored to have been intentionally placed in Hagerstown City Park to control the Rattata population. Allygator looks much like an alligator. Rumor has it that this Pokemon can only be caught on September 31 of each year.

Known Moves

Bite - A normal attack in which Allygator chomps upon the enemy Pokemon.

Submerge - A water attack in which Allygator disappears under the surface of City Park lake, then reappears after the next article is published.


Discovrasaurus

This ground-type Pokemon is rumored to inhabit the Discovery Station in downtown Hagerstown. The Pokemon can be very frequently seen, but to this date no-one has been able to catch it.

Known Moves

Roar - A normal attack in which Discovrasaurus lets out a ferocious roar, and waves its small hands menacingly. This move isn't very effective.

SCIENCE! - A psychic attack in which Discovrasaurus confuses the enemy Pokemon with random dinosaur facts.



Frychikachu

This flying-type Pokemon can only be caught at AC&T gas stations. So far it has only been caught once at the Lappans/Sharpsburg Pike AC&T, by singing "Spin me right round baby right round" while spinning the nearby Pokestop.

Known Moves

Fry - A fire attack in which the enemy Pokemon is breaded, then fried in a deep fryer.

Finger Lick - A psychic attack in which the enemy Pokemon is distracted by amazingly delicious food, and forgets to attack for one turn.

Of course these Pokemon aren't real. But you should visit all these places anyway! The Hagerstown Report is satire.

Hagerstown City Council Passes Emergency Pokemon Ban

HAGERSTOWN, MD - In response to recent surge in popularity of the new mobile app "Pokemon Go", the Hagerstown City Council has passed an emergency ban on hunting Pokemon within city limits.

"We have received numerous complaints about Pokemon hunting. While we understand that Pokemon are only captured and not killed, this is still a serious issue. These small creatures deserve their freedom, and hunting of any kind, including trapping of Pokemon, is strictly prohibited within city limits." stated one council member.

With an unanimous vote, and endorsed by the Mayor, the Council then enacted the Endangered Pokemon Protection Ordinance of 2016. As part of the ordinance, the following are expressly prohibited within the City of Hagerstown:

  • Hunting or Trapping of Pokemon
  • Fighting of Pokemon for Sport, Entertainment, or Gambling
  • Trafficking in Pokemon caught inside or outside city limits
"Contrary to popular opinion, this does not prohibit the usage of the Pokemon Go app within city limits. The app may still be used to photograph and document wild Pokemon in their natural habitat." stated the mayor.

If you are aware of anyone violating the Endangered Pokemon Protection Ordinance, please call the City of Hagerstown's tip line..

No Pokemon were harmed or trapped while writing this article, but if you call the city hall I'm sure the Mayor will love to hear from you anyway. The Hagerstown Report is satire.
