Summary
A weirdPokemon GOglitch has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for a player, as their entire medal and research progress got reset, allowing them to get the rewards twice. With the rewards comprising extremely valuable Pokemon such as Zygarde, the community has been eagerly trying to learn how thisPokemon GOplayer ended up hitting this jackpot.
With a new season kicking off forPokemon GOplayers, there is plenty of exciting stuff to look forward to in the coming days. From regional variants of GO Fest to theupcomingPokemon GOCommunity Days, players will be getting a chance to get a plethora of new Pokemon and rewards. While the past few weeks have been a bit buggy forPokemon GOfans with the release of the Avatar update, one player seems to have been impacted by possibly one of the best bugs in the game.

In a new post on thePokemon GOsubreddit, user BrinkyB highlights aweirdPokemon GObug that many players didn’t even hear of before. Apparently, the player’s research and medal progress got reset all of a sudden. While initially they were flabbergasted by the incident, they highlight that eventually, they came to the conclusion that it possibly occurred due to them booting up an old account of theirs from all the way back in 2016. After logging out of the old account and getting back into their own account, it seems like the previous account’s progress got merged with the new one somehow, causing it to reset.
Pokemon GO Fans Are Eager To Know How Player Triggered Rare Bug
While many players express they had not seen something like this before, another player seems to have had a similar experience. However, in their case, things went back to normal after a simple restart. That, however, doesn’t seem to be the case for BrinkyB as they state they can potentially get the rewards twice now, which is an extremely lucky bug to have. In fact, BrinkyB’s 2016 account seems to have strangely reflected thePokemon GOlevel from their current accountafter they logged in, while the current account has everything the same, apart from the progress of the medals and research.
Fans already wish that they encountered the same bug, as it would allow them to getPokemon such as Zygarde. In fact, many players urged them to delete the post entirely, since it might lead to the bug getting fixed and the rewards getting potentially canceled.
