It’s the little things people can find attractive. For some, those are beauty marks. When one Pokémon Sword and Shield fan thought they might have discovered one on Galar champ Leon’s neck, it was all very exciting.

The tweet got over 18 thousand likes and went viral. However, some pointed out that the mole didn’t always appear to exist in every frame.
前フレームではホクロが薄くなり、後のフレームではホクロが消えているのでホクロ以外のなにかじゃないかなと思っています（戦うシーンによってホクロっぽいものが2つになったり別の場所にあったりするので） pic.twitter.com/aDKV1mDWqa

What’s the explanation for this vanishing phantom mole? Apparently, it’s not on the original models.

Bummer! We can only hope future Pokémon will feature trainers, or Pocket Monsters, with alluring neck moles.
