'Pokemon Go' Accidentally Gives Wrong Pokemon Out As Reward

Pokemon Go destributed the wrong Pokemon as a Research Breakthrough reward, and it's upsetting a lot of players. Beginning today, Pokemon Go is rewarding players who complete Research Tasks on seven separate days with a catch encounter with Shedinja, a Bug/Ghost-type Pokemon that previously wasn't available in the game. The change was supposed to go through at 4 PM ET today, but it seems that someone at Niantic made a very big error.
