    It's been reported that a malicious Pokémon has been going around on Surprise Trade that could lead to the game crashing if you attempted to use the Y-COM's online features.

    Please be careful, y'all!
     
    Surprise Trade should be avoided anyway if this is true:

    Apparently Pokémon Sword and Shield players are being Bannes from Online Service due to the Hack Pokémon that are being sent via Suprise Trade

    The Hack Pokémon are those are not in the game yet for example the Alola Starter, Bulbasaur & Squirtle

    If you recieve one, do not use any online feature

    If you haven't receive one, avoid Surprise Trade

    This kind of reminds me of the time a supposed bug was discovered that supposedly deleted all your save data, (that's what's been keeping me from playing Sword by the way, but I'm pretty sure it's just fear mongering). Can't wait for this one to be fear mongered as well (sarcasm).
     
    I'll probably avoid doing any Surprise Trades from now on. I've never really got any worthwile trades before in this game.
     
    i wonder when we're going to get some sort of update or an ETA of a patch or something. i know, i know, it's Game Freak and all, but still. i'd like to surprise trade a lot of the breedjects that i have and i can't do that anymore because im afraid of precisely this. ._.
