Multiple Pokémon GO players have expressed their frustration and disappointment after losing their hard-earned Shiny Ho-Oh due to a game glitch. These rare Pokémon are highly sought after, and their unexpected disappearance has caused significant upset within the community.

Raid Battles are a popular feature in Pokémon GO, offering players the chance to encounter powerful Pokémon. During these battles, players work together to defeat a boss Pokémon, with the opportunity to capture it afterward. However, several players have reported a distressing issue where the Gym hosting the Raid was abruptly converted into a PokéStop, preventing them from catching the Shiny Ho-Oh.

One player, Reddit user Sylvdrop, detailed their experience, explaining how they successfully defeated the Shiny Ho-Oh but were unable to catch it due to a game error. Upon restarting the app, the Gym had been replaced with a PokéStop.

Fellow players have offered support and explanations for this unfortunate occurrence. It appears that the Wayfarer system, used to manage in-game locations, is responsible for the issue. Daily syncs between Pokémon GO and Wayfarer can result in sudden changes to locations, interrupting ongoing Raids and preventing players from claiming their rewards.

While there is no immediate solution, players are advised to avoid participating in Raids around 11 AM PT to minimize the risk of encountering this issue. As the Pokémon GO community rallies together to support affected players, many hope for a swift resolution and compensation from Niantic.
