Anyone out there wanna breed me a Scorbunny egg? I need to replace mine since Sword and Shield's online trading system is shit and I accidentally traded my fully evolved Cinderace to some random fuckstick in Korea when I thought I was connected to my friend.

I have Sword and Shield, and the way I play is to get all three starters, then trade them back and forth between the two versions, leapfrogging the gyms as I go. (Up to gym 1 on game one, then trade over and do up to gym 2 on game 2, then back to game 1 and play up till Gym 3, etc). Well, since Pokemon Sword and Shield don't have Pokemon Bank/Home integration yet for some moronic reason, I have to rely on trading with friends online. So, I trade from my game to My friend's game, she holds all three of my starters, I go back to my other game, and take them back in order to make this happen!

Well, in this game since there are no friend codes or ability to just reach out to friends and custom-trade with them, they have a code system, which is 4 digits. Person A goes online, puts in 1234, person B puts in 1234, and the game connects you! Foxi and I both logged in, put in the same 4-digit code, and when I saw her pop up with a Wingull (The same one she traded to me last time), I agreed to trade my Cinderace (The fully evolved form of Scorbunny and the single pokemon I'd been using since the start of the game and MAYBE my favourite starter ever).

Only once the trade was completed and the other person disconnected did I realize something was wrong. I said to Foxi "You disconnected", and she said "No, we haven't connected yet"....
...

...
FUCK!

Turns out some korean jackass was using the exact same code at the exact same time, and since the other trainer's name is hidden when you first connect, I didn't think to double check...and now I've lost my Cinderace.

I am livid. Absolutely livid. you have no idea how pissed off I am right now and all I want is a Scorbunny egg so I can re-train them back to level 35 where I was before. I don't want a traded one, I just want one I can hatch from an egg so it will obey me (I'm not even at Gym 2 yet, so it's not like I can get my Pokemon to listen)

So, anyone wanna breed me a scorbunny or loan me a Cinderace and a ditto so I can breed my own?
