What does the padlock icon in Pokemon summary page mean?
I've noticed that there's a padlock icon in every Pokemon summary page, but I can't figure out its meaning or how to use it.
How can you lock a Pokemon? And lock from what?
Or is that an unused feature?
Question from user pinckerman at gaming.stackexchange.com.
Answer:
The icon will automatically light up when the game locks the Pokémon for various reasons. Two examples that I have seen are if the Pokémon is in a battle team that's registered for a tournament, or if it's currently being offered for a surprise trade.
When it's locked, you can't modify it, move it to your party, or use it.
For instance, this Rockruff is currently being offered for a surprise trade.
