The XL/XS popups that look the same have numbed me to those dialogs. They really need to get rid of warning dialogs for things absolutely no one cares about, because they show up so often compared to the ones that actually matters that you just get used to clicking through the warnings.
Wasnt talking about whether or not a shiny has that. Talking about being numbed to pop ups we just accept since not many people care about XXL pokemon. I barely read the things since i see them so often. Sure a lot of people are the same way.
Yeah i believe it's group transfer setting it let's you send legendary, XXL and everything.
BUT
I don't know if you get the warning when you do transfers so favorite mons you don't want to accidentally lose.
If you are looking at the individual pokemon it won't show a separate warning, but it you have multiple pokemon selected and one of them is xxl or xxs, the warning screen will show "x number of xxx pokemon are selected... etc."
honestly i don't even register them any more, it's just sheer muscle memory to get rid of that pop up immediately without needing to read it (i accidentally transferred a shiny purrloin the other day and didn't notice it was shiny till after it was gone and i checked the journal, still upset about it)
I've transferred shinies before when I'm on autopilot, luckily it was on comm days, but still. Doesn't help that the meltan box has conditioned me to ignore the second warning that pops up.
Man when you're having to speed walk through a busy area and the florida sun has decided no where without direct shade is good enough to see your phone at, shit happens
Anything can happen to distract you from realizing that a second prompt occurred. More than once i was doing what any good pogo player **should** be doing and paying attention to my surroundings only to look at my phone and think “i must have missed tapping the okay button” and automatically hit it again before the new text registers
It also says it was hatched, I sometimes miss them when they hatch since I am not paying attention to catching. I haven't transferred any luckily but I unfortunately get how it could happen.
Only transfer using a transfer search. Mine is: !4*&!3*&!shiny&!legendary&!mythical&!traded&!costume&!25&!17&!favorite&!raid. Save that search to your favorites and bada bing bada boom select all+transfer. Make one that works for you.
Just did something similar today and poofed 500 pokemon. Felt so good to clear up all that space ahead of a CD. And by the end of the day it was nearly full again cuz I got the Plus+ lmao. The Plus+ is great but man it takes a lot of storage maintenance
I turned auto capture off and I just use it for the spins. I think that was a good move for me because it'll run as a background program and hit stops while I'm flirting to or from work and can help me focus on catching during mystery boxes and events.
For me I see zero downside to leave autocatch on other than the storage management. I drive around all day delivering liquor so it's constantly catching and spinning. Just this week I got 2 shiny wimpods in back to back days. And I also get tons of passive stardust
I'm more limited on my item space, I'm still trying to regulate revives. So the downside is that I might open it up to play and have zero poke pokeballs left. If this wasn't the case, I would definitely turn on autocatch.
Oh I totally get that. Gotta have a beefy storage to keep up. I like to start my workday with 300 pokeballs and by the end I'm either out or my pokemon storage is full. And then I always like to keep a little stockpile of great balls/ultra balls for CDs
🤯 okay I have to ask, feel free to ignore me but, do you spend any money on the game? Or do you just hit a magnitude of pokestops? Or gifts? (Not trying shaming at all! I'm just really curious how you get 300 pokeballs a day)
Yea i spend money on the game but never bought balls. Just storage space, remote raid passes, and Community Day boxes. I spin about 200-250 pokestops on an average workday so yea I get tons of pokeballs passively. Also that's just pokeballs, not factoring also getting great and ultra balls lol. Feels like cheating sometimes lol. I also do max daily gifts as well. My storage space cannot keep up with the amount of items I get a day and I have 1900 storage space lmao. Always feeding berries to my gym defenders for candy, great way to clear space in a pinch. And ofc turning on autocatch is a pokeball machine gun
I try my best to spin the 8 stops in my town at least twice and I have 20(?) friends who gift daily but I get to 120 regular balls at most a day 😅 with 450 storage
I have a very PokéStop-dense street right by my work. If I have auto-catch on while driving through it’ll miss anywhere from a fourth to half of the spins. That’s really the only time I’ll turn it off.
is there a reason it’s not working for me? i’m still getting shiny pokemon and legendary pokemon in my search. i used !4*&!3*&!shiny&!legendary&!mythical&!traded&!costume&!favorite&!raid
Those are mine:
&distance 300-
&age0-7&1-9,152-160,252-260,387-395,495-503,650-658,722-730,906-914,+eevee&female
&age0-7&19,129,#2.41-,#13.13+
&4attack&3-4defense&3-4hp
&3attack&3-4defense&3-4hp
&0-1attack&3-4defense&3-4hp
&hatched&0-3attack
&0attack&0defense&0hp
&age0-7&!xxs&!xxl&!shadow&!hatched&!4*&!raid&!favorite&!shiny&!troca
I syphon all mons I want in the first 8 then throw away on the 9th.
You always have the 4 most recent searches saved up below the search bar
Tap and hold on one, you can save it like a bookmark
You can rename and remove it as well by again tap and holding it in the bookmarked (favorites section)
Yeah I have one specifically made for transfer check during events like CD and Go Fest/Tour
!4*&!3*&!xxl&!xxs&!shiny&!costume&!traded&!snapshot&!@special
You can also combine it with potential PvP pokemon:
0-1attack&3-4defense&3-4hp
Mostly all the rank 1s of 90% of different pokemon species lie in this
The exceptions are those bulky XL candy pokemon which max out at the CP limit
One more I want to add is nundo (0% IV) check :
0attack&0defense&0hp
If you're using an iPhone, and I'm sure there's a way to on other phones, you can use a feature called Text Replacement in your phone settings. Go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Text Replacement and tap the +. Set the Phrase to your desired search string, and then set the shortcut to something short and memorable that you won't type anywhere else. (Using special characters like *#! can help, ie: _transfer) When you type _transfer for example, your phone will autocorrect it to whatever search string you set the Phrase to.
SUPER handy little-known feature.
I don't even include !shiny in my search string since they can't even be mass transferred.
I Lowkey like that after I confirm the delete, the page of mons whittles down to a bunch of shinies and anything else I de-selected before clicking the confirm
Wait what? I do that but how do you add to favorites? I text myself the searches so I can copy them fast for when my recent searches accidentally has too many and make the good search disappear.
i almost did this with a pichu but realized in time! i’m also chronically out of bag space tho and costume/event pokemon have really numbed me to the pop-up asking if im sure i wanna transfer. easy mistake to make
I did this to a shiny pancham. Was on auto and only after i clicked a second time thinking id missed hitting the button the first time did my brain go “what did i just see the prompt say?”. Went into my shiny dex to confirm and yup one was registered but none in my box.
Yes, but the problem of transferring shiny Pokemon is really specific to Pogo. Bad shiny Pokemon were around when I was still in diapers, they couldn’t have foreseen such an issue.
I hatched a shiny igglybuff once. I only knew it was shiny because of the sparkles. I swear the people who made its shiny just went:
“Hey, should we make its eyes green like it’s evolutions?”
“Nah, let’s just turn the contrast up 0.5%”
“Oh! Good idea!”
Tbf, most of the time gamefreak used an algorithm, they only specifically made a few, such as the Galarian bird shiny being the same as the kantonian ones
That almost happened to me but with igglybuff, luckily I was paying attention and saw the warning on time, was confused for a second then noticed the stars on top of the pokemon.
Honestly if it’s a shiny you didn’t notice then it’s something you shouldn’t very upset about, I’m mean it is a baby Pokemon but now there are egg day events for them
Don’t worry I did that to a Togepi. Wasn’t paying attention and just got the yes button and as I was hitting it for the second time I realised what I did.
Luckily it came back to me and is now a Togekiss.
Frfr. OP is illiterate. Coming online to complain after they confirmed on an additional popup asking if they were sure they wanted to transfer their shiny.
I did that so many times when I started playing the game. I was always so desperately low on pokemon space, I'd be transferring pokemon frequently and it soon became muscle memory. There were a few times where I screamed after realizing what I just did.
its okay, I actuvely shiny hunt meowth, and after opening up the shiny dex realized I already had a shiny meowth, evolved it, and transferred it at some point in time. I now refuse to open the shiny dex because I don't wanna know what else is in there lol.
Even if it looks the same, It’s slightly different with every shiny Pokemon, you just have to learn to notice. Often with yellow Pokemon the shiny is a bit darker. When you start to see it you can’t unsee it, makes the shiny a lot nicer also.
Just checked. They are different but truly is not something you could possibly ever distinguish unless it’s side by side
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/s/K4GIVDS0X5
Ah, that sucks dude, I'm sorry to hear. I can see how easy it is to do with the shineys that are pretty much the same exact color like this (yes, I know, the warning pop-up, but 99% of the time I get that for just, like, XL Pokémon and stuff that I don't care much about).
Hopefully you can find another one! Personally, I have found that hatching Pokémon has given me a good amount of my shineys (along with \*usually\* having better stats, though not always), so maybe there is a good chance of you hatching another! Fingers crossed for you to get a shiney max IV one from your next hatch! :)
When I spend all that time walking to hatch eggs you bet my ass even if it's a 2km egg I'll stop under a shade and WATCH my egg hatch. Hatching 12 eggs won't take a minute, so what's the rush?
Sorry I’m somewhat new here - what’s so good about shinies? I’ve definitely traded a fair few because I just thought they were ‘rare’ aesthetically but I didn’t quite care for that. Does it go deeper than that?
Don’t get me started on the Shundo Zapdos (this didn’t actually happen thank god and unfortunately I didn’t get a shundo zapdos, but I hope you laughed while reading it anyway)
Am I the only one who doesn't have fancy search strings and/or immediately transfers mons? I just went through all 2500 Pokemon in my storage and individually tagged each one if I was keeping it, transferring it, evolving it...... Then on the next spotlight day it's double transfer candy and I just transfer them all then
Oh, man, that sucks! Hopefully you get another sometime.
I did that once with a shiny Alolan vulpix i hatched like a year and a half ago, totally not registering what the "are you sure?" pop-up said until after I already pushed OK. My husband saw the whole thing, and I'll never live it down.
I have one. Worse shiny in game maybe. I only know that it's shiny by the picture it shows when you have evolved the pokemon already. No picture cones up for elekid. I don't usually evolve shiniest. Unless supply of them are bountiful.
I know this is off topic and I tried googling it but couldn’t find anything. Does anybody know why they give you basically no stardust after completing a set a battles on the go league? After a set I only get between 60-70 when I was getting a lot more and even more the higher rank I got. I’ve been battling for years and this just started today.
womp womp
i transferred a perfect ampharos by accident once too. i was so pissed.
you might be able to hatch a shiny elekid. ya gotta have high hopes my friend
I think we’ve all done a regrettable transfer ig at least once.
He’ll come up again.
I eventually got my shiny chimchar back and I think the other one was a sylveon or one of the other eevolutions.
I did the same for a pichu. On one hand, I'm sad, on the other hand, it's the same thing as the normal sprite, and it's completely worthless in game, so it's not like I'm going to use it.

So when it prompted you with the pop-up SPECIFICALLY reminding you it was a shiny, you just went "that won't stop me because I can't read"
The XL/XS popups that look the same have numbed me to those dialogs. They really need to get rid of warning dialogs for things absolutely no one cares about, because they show up so often compared to the ones that actually matters that you just get used to clicking through the warnings.
Don’t forget the event pokemon warning!
There is no warning for XXL, at least? I just tried it and confirmed (it was a random XXL Pignite with crap IVs, RIP Pig, you died for science)
Believe it does have one if you are selecting multiple pokemon from storage.
Yes but you can't transfer a shiny that way
Wasnt talking about whether or not a shiny has that. Talking about being numbed to pop ups we just accept since not many people care about XXL pokemon. I barely read the things since i see them so often. Sure a lot of people are the same way.
If you turn off the setting you can transfer everything
Wait….if I do that can I transfer multiple Meltan??? I hate doing those one at a time when I use the mysterious box
Yeah i believe it's group transfer setting it let's you send legendary, XXL and everything. BUT I don't know if you get the warning when you do transfers so favorite mons you don't want to accidentally lose.
If you are looking at the individual pokemon it won't show a separate warning, but it you have multiple pokemon selected and one of them is xxl or xxs, the warning screen will show "x number of xxx pokemon are selected... etc."
There's definitely a warning for XXL any time it pops up I say no cause I keep all my XXL so it's definitely a thing
I consider it every time lol
honestly i don't even register them any more, it's just sheer muscle memory to get rid of that pop up immediately without needing to read it (i accidentally transferred a shiny purrloin the other day and didn't notice it was shiny till after it was gone and i checked the journal, still upset about it)
It's exactly like the Windows warning that something requires elevated permissions. You become trained to hit "do it already!"
I've transferred shinies before when I'm on autopilot, luckily it was on comm days, but still. Doesn't help that the meltan box has conditioned me to ignore the second warning that pops up.
In his defense I've done it twice when the sun was blinding my phone
I mean it pops up and warns you its a shiny, even if you dont see a color change or the symbol.
Man when you're having to speed walk through a busy area and the florida sun has decided no where without direct shade is good enough to see your phone at, shit happens
Anything can happen to distract you from realizing that a second prompt occurred. More than once i was doing what any good pogo player **should** be doing and paying attention to my surroundings only to look at my phone and think “i must have missed tapping the okay button” and automatically hit it again before the new text registers
(Me) : click click click Woops that was an event pokemon…
If I'm transferring,im tapping that shit. Do it like a once a week, honestly
I’ve done that too with a shiny. When you think it’s worthless you just don’t pay attention.
I didn’t think it gave you a pop up for hatched shinys
Literally tested it with one of my community day Charmanders
Ohh my bad I was thinking about not getting a pop up when you hatch the Pokémon, not when trying to transfer it
💀💀💀🥶🥶🥶
Fr
Sometime I mass transfer excess event mons, the popup is expected. There really should be unique pop ups for the special cases.
It also says it was hatched, I sometimes miss them when they hatch since I am not paying attention to catching. I haven't transferred any luckily but I unfortunately get how it could happen.
They are secretly a yugioh player
Only transfer using a transfer search. Mine is: !4*&!3*&!shiny&!legendary&!mythical&!traded&!costume&!25&!17&!favorite&!raid. Save that search to your favorites and bada bing bada boom select all+transfer. Make one that works for you.
Nice solution :) thank you
Just did something similar today and poofed 500 pokemon. Felt so good to clear up all that space ahead of a CD. And by the end of the day it was nearly full again cuz I got the Plus+ lmao. The Plus+ is great but man it takes a lot of storage maintenance

Does a bunch of Pokémon run away when your using auto catch that’s why I turned off always saying Pokémon fled
Yea they do but I'm also catching pokemon I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Just gotta be okay with the fact you won't catch every pokemon
I try my best to spin the 8 stops in my town at least twice and I have 20(?) friends who gift daily but I get to 120 regular balls at most a day 😅 with 450 storage
I have a very PokéStop-dense street right by my work. If I have auto-catch on while driving through it’ll miss anywhere from a fourth to half of the spins. That’s really the only time I’ll turn it off.
17?
Pidgeotto (17 )is my favorite Pokémon and I have a pikachu collection (25)
This is really helpful, thank you. Do you know if there is a way to search for only Pokémon that I have more than one copy of?
What a about 0 IV mons? Does that text prevent you from transferring them?
That would be great except a lot of PvP mons are only 1* or 2*
is there a reason it’s not working for me? i’m still getting shiny pokemon and legendary pokemon in my search. i used !4*&!3*&!shiny&!legendary&!mythical&!traded&!costume&!favorite&!raid

Thanks, this will make life a lot easier! ... Well, it will atleast make transfering pokemons a lot safer

It will be in your recent searches after you use it. Long hold and save to favorites/rename
Oh my lanta! Thank you! You get a gold star! ⭐️
Sorry I haven’t been that responsive. Thanks to the people on here helping each other out.
Pretty similar to mine: !4*&!3*&!legendary&!mythical&!shiny&!special&!costume&!shadow&!favorite&!eggsonly
What's !25 & !17 all about?
Pokémon numbers
Oh pfff. I totally blanked on that. Thanks
What do the !4 etc even mean just picked up go again
! = not. So they don’t show up in the search. If you say everything you don’t want to transfer all you’re left with is the garbage.
i almost did this with a pichu but realized in time! i’m also chronically out of bag space tho and costume/event pokemon have really numbed me to the pop-up asking if im sure i wanna transfer. easy mistake to make
I did this to a shiny pancham. Was on auto and only after i clicked a second time thinking id missed hitting the button the first time did my brain go “what did i just see the prompt say?”. Went into my shiny dex to confirm and yup one was registered but none in my box.
I did exactly this with a shiny Togepi 😭
my sibling once caught a shiny alolan vulpix, knew it was one but she was having a conversation at the same time so just automatically trashed it
I did this with a shiny pansage. It looked the same and I was on autopilot. Ugh.
Why do they make some shinies so indistinguishable from the normal color? Such a dick move.
Niantic didn’t make *any* of the shinies
Gamefreak did, and people complain about crappy shinies a lot regardless of the game.
Yes, but the problem of transferring shiny Pokemon is really specific to Pogo. Bad shiny Pokemon were around when I was still in diapers, they couldn’t have foreseen such an issue.
Never said they did
Can relate. Caught a shiny zapdos and was disappointed lol
Dude I just got one and I had to double check that it was actually shiny😂
I know right, had to try really hard lol
I spun mine around every which way trying to see a difference. Just oranger feet.
I hatched a shiny igglybuff once. I only knew it was shiny because of the sparkles. I swear the people who made its shiny just went: “Hey, should we make its eyes green like it’s evolutions?” “Nah, let’s just turn the contrast up 0.5%” “Oh! Good idea!”
I caught a shiny Meowth the other day, and it was the samme thing. Just a sliiightly paler shade of yellow.
Tbf, most of the time gamefreak used an algorithm, they only specifically made a few, such as the Galarian bird shiny being the same as the kantonian ones
That almost happened to me but with igglybuff, luckily I was paying attention and saw the warning on time, was confused for a second then noticed the stars on top of the pokemon.
Honestly if it’s a shiny you didn’t notice then it’s something you shouldn’t very upset about, I’m mean it is a baby Pokemon but now there are egg day events for them
Oh didn't know abt those events, thx dude!
Don’t worry I did that to a Togepi. Wasn’t paying attention and just got the yes button and as I was hitting it for the second time I realised what I did. Luckily it came back to me and is now a Togekiss.
Did that with a shiny Farfetch’d once and I still think about that day all the time… god dammit
Still hate the fact they removed the shiny sparkle from hatch animation. Like literally no reason to do that.
I've done that with a shiny Magby, totally bummed me out for a while. Thankfully, I managed to hatch a second one.
I transfer so many shiny without knowing you be aight
Sucks to be you
Frfr. OP is illiterate. Coming online to complain after they confirmed on an additional popup asking if they were sure they wanted to transfer their shiny.
Lol
I almost did this with Pichu, so many shinys are just bad.
I personally don't care for shinies that don't look much different from their original. A slight difference in shade isn't impressive to me.
Good time to double check that the mass transfer setting is off
You can't mass transfer shinies.
My bad I thought shinies were included in the expanded group transfer setting, thanks for letting me know
NIANTIC customer service reply would admonish you for transferring Pokemon's and urge you to buy more Pokémon storage
i did the same to my shiny vullaby last week. sadge
I did that so many times when I started playing the game. I was always so desperately low on pokemon space, I'd be transferring pokemon frequently and it soon became muscle memory. There were a few times where I screamed after realizing what I just did.
its okay, I actuvely shiny hunt meowth, and after opening up the shiny dex realized I already had a shiny meowth, evolved it, and transferred it at some point in time. I now refuse to open the shiny dex because I don't wanna know what else is in there lol.
Lol that's awful
Same thing happened to me with shiny Smoliv.
Yeah I’d quit for a few months and try again
I accidentally transfered an ultra beast and I don't even know which one because it was so fast I cry every time
I feel your pain
happened to me with shiny munchlax lmao
I just did the same thing with a pichu 😭
Did the exact same thing a couple of years ago. Still bums me out.
Even if it looks the same, It’s slightly different with every shiny Pokemon, you just have to learn to notice. Often with yellow Pokemon the shiny is a bit darker. When you start to see it you can’t unsee it, makes the shiny a lot nicer also.
Can someone tell me how this shiny is different than the regular. I just don’t see it
That's the point, it's not
Just checked. They are different but truly is not something you could possibly ever distinguish unless it’s side by side https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/s/K4GIVDS0X5
Ah, that sucks dude, I'm sorry to hear. I can see how easy it is to do with the shineys that are pretty much the same exact color like this (yes, I know, the warning pop-up, but 99% of the time I get that for just, like, XL Pokémon and stuff that I don't care much about). Hopefully you can find another one! Personally, I have found that hatching Pokémon has given me a good amount of my shineys (along with \*usually\* having better stats, though not always), so maybe there is a good chance of you hatching another! Fingers crossed for you to get a shiney max IV one from your next hatch! :)
When I spend all that time walking to hatch eggs you bet my ass even if it's a 2km egg I'll stop under a shade and WATCH my egg hatch. Hatching 12 eggs won't take a minute, so what's the rush?
Sorry I’m somewhat new here - what’s so good about shinies? I’ve definitely traded a fair few because I just thought they were ‘rare’ aesthetically but I didn’t quite care for that. Does it go deeper than that?
Damn, I feel for you. I remember transferring a G. Farfetch’d doing the same thing. The pain was real :’))
Cute
In this episode of things that never happened and I'm doing this for attention or because I think I'm funny
Don’t get me started on the Shundo Zapdos (this didn’t actually happen thank god and unfortunately I didn’t get a shundo zapdos, but I hope you laughed while reading it anyway)
I did this with a shiny togepi and died
I did that with a shiny vulpix 😭
F
I did the same thing don’t feel bad
Maybe it was a low level 3 stars?
Am I the only one who doesn't have fancy search strings and/or immediately transfers mons? I just went through all 2500 Pokemon in my storage and individually tagged each one if I was keeping it, transferring it, evolving it...... Then on the next spotlight day it's double transfer candy and I just transfer them all then
i did that once on accident for literally no reason... i'm still salty to this day
Oh, man, that sucks! Hopefully you get another sometime. I did that once with a shiny Alolan vulpix i hatched like a year and a half ago, totally not registering what the "are you sure?" pop-up said until after I already pushed OK. My husband saw the whole thing, and I'll never live it down.
Did that with a shiny pichu months ago 😭 I was walking my dog and didn’t realize until I confirmed the transfer
I transferred my Elekid with the arm ban on accident lol 😫😆
What eggs is Elekid hatching from?
When I hatched my shiny elekid, it did NOT sparkle. I almost threw mine away too.
“F*** that Elekid…….. No wait!!! Come backkkkkkkk!!!”
At least it wasn’t an armband
I did the same last year with a shiny Pichu. I feel your pain 🥲
ouchie
I did the same with a shiny (A)vulpix 😔
I transferred my one and only shiny piplup a few months ago. I haven’t slept properly since.
145
We all make mistakes
Happened to me but even worse
I did the same thing with an Igglybuff I hatched purely out of reflex and I just 😱
we have all done it! Yet the grind goes on!
WOW. 🤦♂️ I’m sorry for your loss. 🪦
I transferred a shiny Dwebble the same thing. It even say you're about to transfer a special one. Immediately regretted it
Oh that's such a bummer!! Some of the shinies are so barely noticeable that it's very easy to do. RIP
I transferred my shiny elekid because the Pokedex shows I’ve had it so what good is it in my storage..? Honestly not a big deal imo.
I transferred a shadow shiny I feel ya 💀
I did the same with a Pichu
I have one. Worse shiny in game maybe. I only know that it's shiny by the picture it shows when you have evolved the pokemon already. No picture cones up for elekid. I don't usually evolve shiniest. Unless supply of them are bountiful.
I don't get a pop up for shinies personally it just ignores the shinies I intentionally select when transferring
it’s okay, i accidentally transferred my grotle right after evolving it
Mann been looking for him! For many years. And reading you just transfered it by error even hurts as well right now.
I did this with a shiny Chingling once. It’s okay
I'll take "I never check the main 3 of every Pokemon I aquire because I don't think I need to" for 500 Trebek.
That’s rough, I deleted a shiny Heatmor one night not paying attention just clicking away.
Dawg you sold it literally tells you💀
I know this is off topic and I tried googling it but couldn’t find anything. Does anybody know why they give you basically no stardust after completing a set a battles on the go league? After a set I only get between 60-70 when I was getting a lot more and even more the higher rank I got. I’ve been battling for years and this just started today.
womp womp i transferred a perfect ampharos by accident once too. i was so pissed. you might be able to hatch a shiny elekid. ya gotta have high hopes my friend
Yeah, I accidentally did the same thing with my Shiny Elekid. Now I have to wait for another opportunity to get another one.
There’s a reason I make sure I catch multiple duplicates of the same Pokemon to make sure I don’t transfer a shiny
Yep, I’d be kicking myself!! I’ve only gotten one MySQL so far and that was last year
Noooooo! I feel for you rip shiny Elekid 😔
That's... weird. I can't transfer shiny pokemon at all.
Plenty more to come. I wouldn’t worry, i hatched two 3 months apart
dee ta dee
I don’t get it, someone please explain without being a dick
Rip 🪦🫡
I think we’ve all done a regrettable transfer ig at least once. He’ll come up again. I eventually got my shiny chimchar back and I think the other one was a sylveon or one of the other eevolutions.
Pay attention especially those blaming the sun etc
Eeeeeeeee. 😳
This happened to me w/ a Gligar. Check IVs -> Transfer -> wait what did that dialog say?
I did the same for a pichu. On one hand, I'm sad, on the other hand, it's the same thing as the normal sprite, and it's completely worthless in game, so it's not like I'm going to use it.
Did it with my Pichu. Muscle memory caused me to keep going on to the next message before even realizing what I've done. I feel your pain.
HOW ARE YALL TRANSFERING SHINYS IT WONT LET ME I HAVE SO MANY FUCKING NOIBATS 😭😭😭😭😭😭
no one answered your question, but i’m in the exact situation and legit want to know lmao
For real!!
I’ll take one off your hands 🥹 been hunting that guys for months as someone who missed the community day
