Fixed [0.33] Slowpoke does not evolve when traded holding a King's Rock

[Mintpelt]

I set up a trade the other day (in the global trading system) with my Slowpoke holding a King's Rock and requested another Slowpoke holding a King's Rock. A few days later I saw that someone else did the trade and withdrew the Slowpoke from the trading PC. When it went into my party, it was still a Slowpoke holding a King's Rock. It didn't evolve into a Slowking, unlike when I received a Kadabra through trade that evolved into an Alakazam.

trade evolutions dont work on the gts
you need to use the friend hub

Alright, thanks!

Actually, they do work on the GTS. It's just you can't be the person who sets up the trade. Kinda like what you did with your slowpoke.

Same thing with the friend hub, it won't evolve if you are the one who sets up the trade. In order for a pokemon to trade evolve you have to be the person who accepts an already set up trade.


So yeah, I've evolved many pokemon from trading on the GTS. Unless of course this is a glitch that solely stops Slowking/Politoed from evolving on the GTS.
