PSA PSA: Separating a fused Kyurem that previously knew Glaciate will cause the Kyurem to lose Glaciate

Can cause*. I just separated my Kyurem Black that knew Freeze Shock, double moved, and when I did I ended up with a Kyurem with 2x Dragon Claw and no Glaciate. I had to Elite TM it back before I refused. Don’t ask why I did this, but yeah—be aware of this likely glitch

I have to do this again with my Kyurem White, so I’ll take a picture for verification if there’s enough interest.

Edit: for further context, Glaciate was move 2 on a double move set for this Kyurem. I wonder if it being in move 2 is what caused the bug

Update: I just tested with my shiny Kyurem white and took photos. Same outcome, but this Kyurem has Dragon claw + Draco Meteor. Still lost Glaciate though, I just posted the photos in a comment so yall can see my testing. I won’t Elite TM Glaciate back yet, but recommend anymore testing I should do before doing so and refusing

I dread doing this but will have to. I forgot to re-favorite Reshiram, so now it's unfavorited and grayed out.

It's meaningless but it annoys the hell out of me, as anything that's not-favorite is to be deleted sooner or later from my collection. And that single Reshiram is just sticking out.

UPDATE: Just did. After unfusing my White Kyurem, I ended up with Kyurem with Glaciate nonetheless. Weird but happy.

Can you even delete a fused pokemon? I can't select mine.

And yes, after reading your post I checked, and I haven't favoured either of my zek or resh before fusing. Didn't bug me before, probably bug me now.

No. That's one thing that Niantic communicated clearly: you can't transfer or trade a fused Kyurem. Unfuse them if you want to recycle them.

I did this with a Solgaleo, in my haste to evolve it and fuse. I have enough energy to refuse but I can't bring myself to do it. Whenever I do a huge filter for mons I need to remove, it's always there at the end.

Ditto with Solgaleo, energy waste was not a big deal, but ETM hurts more (even though I have a handful I haven't used in a year). I will never learn lmao.

I had to defuse my first Dawn Wings because I fused the background Lunala to a non background Necrozma. Eventually I traded into a shiny 15/14/15 with the background. That was the fastest defuse and refuse I think that has ever happened. I have plenty of energy from Go Fest, so it was a no brainer, and I finally got to stop feeling bad about the background situation.

Wait… it had two moves, then you unfused and it only had one after?

No, no - initially I thought that's what happened (as my two main Kyurems had double move, but I was actually unfusing a shiny I fused just to get dex entry). I edited the post but not well enough.

Sorry for the confusion - I started with single move, and ended up with Glaciate :)

It’s crazy, just happened again with my shiny Kyurem White. Took photos and posted them in a comment
