Pokemon Sword and Shield Player Learns the Disappointing Side of Surprise Trades

Shiny Pokemon can be incredibly hard to come by in Pokemon Sword and Shield on Nintendo Switch, but sometimes players just happen to luck into them. That seemed to be the case for Reddit user Pagpie, who got their first Shiny ever through a Surprise Trade. A player decided to gift them with a Shiny Cinderace, which would be very cool in most circumstances. The final evolved form of the Galar starter Scorbunny, Cinderace is an awesome Pokemon to get as a Shiny. The Pokemon's normal white coloration has been swapped out for a sleek grey color, and it really makes the Fire-type stand out. Unfortunately, the whole thing proved too good to be true!
