Bronzor research (Trade a Pokémon) not triggering Bronzor encounters
Been farming the Trade a Pokémon research task since last week in the hopes of a Shiny Bronzor. Other research tasks seem to trigger correctly, but two of these research tasks (picked up Wednesday last week) just triggered a Snorunt and Magikarp encounter.
Anyone else seeing this?
Edit: Journal registers as completing the Catch 10 Pokémon and Use 5 Berries to help catch Pokémon research, but doesn't show what research tasks are picked up, so I have no proof that all 3 research slots had the Trade a Pokémon task. Will try to reproduce again during the event.

Sounds like you’re getting your tasks mixed up. Right now ‘trade a Pokemon’ always rewards Bronzor. Magikarp and Snorunt are both easy tasks to passively complete while just generally playing (catch 10 Pokémon/feed berries). My guess is you picked up those tasks and completed them, while thinking you were holding the Bronzor tasks.
Probably , since I just completed a trade a mon task earlier today and got a bronzor
Yeah it should tell you which task you completed for those of us who save them when we can’t complete a lot in one day to farm for the Research Breakthroughs.
I prepared for that possibility and cleared out all research tasks before loading all 3 spots with the Trade a Pokémon task & then trading with a friend earlier to complete all 3 at once.
