Another person comments with their regret, adding, “I accidentally evolved a shiny Cleffa.” Then, another comment below backs them up, saying, “Shiny bonsly, here. I feel you.”
A common theme seems to be people transferring 4* Pokemon, which are Pokemon with the highest stats possible in the game. A comment says, “Transferring 4*’s luckily they were only Grimer, Sunkern, Fomantis, and Barboach. Still sucks though.”

Sadly, it seems that Legendary Pokemon aren’t even safe, as a particularly sad comment describes, “Wasn’t me, but my friend transferred a Cosmoem because he didn’t know it was a legendary. He spammed past the “Are you sure you want to transfer a legendary Pokémon?” Warning message.”
It’s worth checking out the full thread to learn even more small mistakes to avoid, but one thing is for sure, always appraise your Pokemon before you transfer them. 4* Pocket Monsters are rarer than a Shiny.
