The greatest games are usually marked by their ability to offer up a distinctly addictive experience that players enjoy engaging in time and again. In a title like Halo, it's those few seconds of contact when you come across another player and try to outwit them by making split second decisions to come out victorious. With Pokémon Go, it's capturing the rarest of monsters, and 2021's got some rare ones.

So, what are the rarest Pokémon in 'Pokémon GO' for 2021?

Sure, there are other aspects of the Pokémon games that fans enjoy, maybe they like the turn-based battle systems, or exploring the world map and evolving their monsters. However, engaging in random battles with them and seeing a brand new creature you've never encountered before always brings a very exciting thrill.

A lot of whether or not you'll catch these creatures depends on the equipment that you have, too. Will you be able to weaken it enough to make it possible to capture? Or will you hurt the monster to the point where you completely deplete its HP, rendering your attempts at capturing it fruitless?

Well, here's hoping that doesn't happen if and when you come across these "ultra rare" Pokémon.

Then there are Pokémon that are only endemic to specific regions in the world, and there's no way to get them unless you physically go to that location, which may prove to be very difficult, you know, on account of COVID-19 and all:

Then there are Pokémon that were once restricted to single regions, but are now found in multiple parts of the world:

If you want to catch a Shadow Articuno in 'Pokémon Go,' you'll only be able to do it in March of 2021.

As of this writing, if you want to capture a Shadow Articuno, then you're going to need to encounter Giovanni in the game. And if you're trying to get your hands on some Legendary Pokémon, then you'll be restricted to the Therian and Incarnate forms of Landorus, Tornadus, and Thundurus in raids.
