Yesterday I encountered a Zapdos whilst one of my pokemon was on a Galar rumble mission. Being dumb, my rumbler was just a level 30 Mewtwo and so I lost the Boss Battle and then it showed that mewtwo was going to return in 18 hours.
I checked the items that mewtwo was carrying and it listed some gems but also, to my surprise, "Galar (Map)".

I hoped that maybe Mewtwo would bring back a rumble map for Zapdos that might give me another chance at the boss battle. However, now that he has returned, I can't see a Map anywhere in my inventory.
Should I have a map somewhere, or was it just a mistake that the list of rumble items told me that he was carrying a map?

Thanks if anyone can answer this!

I think it might be a mistake.

The galar map boss battle thing is probably made the same way the other legendary maps are. In those cases, your pokemon brings back your map if you lose so galar shows the same even though the map is permanent.

Here is more info about rumbling to start you off.

If you battle one of the bird trio and win you get the associated color bird feather to summon it at the Ancient Cave.
If you battle and lose, it will show you are bringing back a Galar Map - which is weird but there is only one map - not multiple.

Good luck winning against one of the birds - hatching your own is always exciting!
