More and more shinies are being released to the wild gradually, when trainers might miss or not pay attention to the shiny sparkle in the Pokémon encounter screen, they might try to transfer it right after catching, not even checking for the shiny in the recently caught in inventory, is there any warning or reminder, just the transferring event Pokémon, popping up and asking if they really want to transfer such Pokémon or not? Thank you. ---

Yes there is a reminder. “Do you really want to transfer this Shiny Pokémon?” ---

Exactly the warning is to make sure you don’t transfer a shiny. BUT Just like in the pokemon games you could forget to look, i remember being in pokecentres forever just clicking A and they were already healed lol. Be careful! ---

And guess what I came very close to doing today. It’s now made harder as it looks like after lots of people asking for AR+ for Android, we get the bug as a part way, so no sparklies … thank god I noticed the transfer check screen had different writing … ---

Today I caught shiny Mawile, but there were no sparkles because of that flying camera movement. Luckily, I immediately knew it was shiny. But some other shiny Pokemon are hard to recognize. ---
