My BracMacho disappeared :(

[Thunvir3]

Hello.

I was EV training my machoc next to violine city, with a brac macho (I'm sure had it on me, my machoc was arround 200 atk EV).

Suddenly, I realized the item wasnt anymore on my mon. I checked my backpack but wasnt in it. Logged out and in too.

 

So now i dont have the item anymore.

I dont know if itsa bug or if I deleted mysteriously the item by error.

Can you help ?

 

Edit : I was playing on phone, and I made combats after realizing the bug, and its  ot a visual bug, my machoc only get EV 1  by 1

Hello @Thunvir3. My apologies for the inconvenience you experienced.

 

The reason why you no longer have your Macho Brace is because Nuzleaf and Shiftry can have the ability Pickpocket, which can take the item of the target. Meaning, your Macho Brace was stolen this way. 
Unfortunately, there is no way to restore it and no compensation we can offer, since this is how the ability is intended to work.

 

However, there are other ways of obtaining Macho Braces. 

• Purchasing one from another player through Trade chat
• Obtaining one from Dig Spots, though it is quite rare
• Purchasing one from the Biker NPC in front of the Goldenrod Cory Pokémon Center for 20k
• As a tier 4 reward from the daily quests in Celadon City

 

Though you may be disappointed, please try to understand. If you have any further questions, please let me know.
