A glitch has been found in Pokémon Go's latest event that guarantees anyone who uses it a Special Background Pokémon, and nearly 30 hours after it was first discovered, trainers are still taking advantage of it.
This has led to lots of trainers getting Shiny Special Backgrounds in the latest event, getting you a pretty cool Psyduck that would usually be impossible to obtain. The trick also works for the regular Psyduck, too, though, for anyone looking to snag a rare Pokémon at no risk.
Performing the glitch is simple. Find the Concierge Psyduck that'll spawn on the map and feed it a Berry. Then, after feeding the Berry to it, keep entering and leaving the encounter until the Berry icon below the Pokémon vanishes. When you see this, capture the Pokémon, and it'll have a Special Background each and every time without fail.
Pokémon spawns don't stay around forever, though, and there's no guarantee you can find it in a set amount of tries, so if you're going through the method for an extended period of time and are worried about a Shiny running away from you, maybe don't take any further risk and catch it. It's entirely up to you.
Also, there is a chance that when you throw the Berry the first time, the Pokémon is already destined to give you a Special Background, so that the trick won't work at all.
We also don't know if this glitch will be fixed anytime soon, or if it'll pass onto future Special Background Pokémon in later events or is only tied to this one. We advise you to make the most of this opportunity to stock up on these usually rare Pokémon before Scopely patches it out. There's no telling when it'll be fixed, so act fast!
