⚠️ Warning to anyone considering trading a PhD Pikachu ⚠️
I wanted to share this because the outcome has been incredibly frustrating, and if this is some kind of bug, I don’t want anyone else losing one too.
I recently completed a Lucky Trade with a friend. (In person trade not remote) I traded away a Rayquaza and was supposed to receive a PhD Pikachu.
For those who don’t know, PhD Pikachu isn’t something you can just catch. You have to win enough Showcase competitions to earn it. Depending on where you live, that can take months or even years. Players in highly competitive areas often struggle to win showcases at all, which is why PhD Pikachu is considered one of the hardest costume Pokémon to obtain.
Because of that, most trainers won’t trade one unless it’s a mirror trade.
When our trade completed, something strange happened. Instead of showing the PhD Pikachu my friend traded me, the completion screen displayed my OWN PhD Pikachu that I’ve had for over 2 years and already made Best Buddy.
The Pokémon my friend traded never appeared in my storage.
Meanwhile, my friend’s Rayquaza became Lucky and showed up in his inventory immediately. From his side, the trade appeared to complete. From mine nothing. I cleared data, assets was on good internet etc!
After DAYS of back-and-forth with support, they continue telling me that my 2-year-old Best Buddy PhD Pikachu "cp 1022"is the Pokémon I received from the trade....
The problem is that’s IMPOSSIBLE.
• The Pokémon is over 2 years old
• It was already my Best Buddy WHICH DOESNT HAPPEN OVER ONE TRADE
• It’s not Lucky despite us being Lucky Friends or traded 😂
• It existed in my account long before this trade happened and one only exists still
What makes this even worse is that my friend no longer has the PhD Pikachu he traded, and I never received it. It’s effectively disappeared. Both of us shafted.
At this point, I’m not even as upset about the Pokémon as I am about support repeatedly insisting I received a Pokémon that clearly could not have come from this trade instead of investigating what actually happened. I contemplated even making this post as i was hoping they would be able to revert the trade or fix it or even look into a resolution that actually fits the situation. At the end of the day, it is what it is if the Pokemon is truly gone because of some game bug.
Has anyone else ever had a trade display the wrong Pokémon on the completion screen or had a Pokémon seemingly vanish after a trade? I’d love to know if this is an isolated incident or if others have experienced something similar.
Or if anyone has successfully traded a phd pikachu and has MORE than one in there account! Lmk!♥️💔❤️🩹

10 years of Pokémon GO! 🥳 I’ve spent 9 years on the team, including 8 years of painting loading screens. It’s been an honor to contribute to a game that has touched so many lives. This homage of the original, to where it all started. Happy 10th, everyone! @PokemonGoApp #pokemon
