Locking a Pokémon, as we all know, prevents it from being
  • moved anywhere from where it currently is
  • evolved, corrupted, changed in form, hatched (if it's an egg) and so on
  • released
In addition, Pokémon in the PC cannot be locked, only boxes can be locked.

In my opinion locking is for this reason pretty impractical; you can't keep your Pokémon locked for any length of time really (unless you plan to have a party mascot for a while or something), because it stops you from sending them underground or to the Vs. Seeker or into the Battle Tower (etc.), and they have to be unlocked again to be put back in the PC. Because of this, the protections that locking actually offers are less useful, or rather, less powerful - it's a lot easier to accidentally evolve or release a Pokémon you like if it's unlocked half the time anyway so you can actually use it. Additionally, I don't actually see any reason why locked Pokémon shouldn't be moved around - nothing unwanted can happen just from sticking them Underground.

So (as I state in the title) I propose that locked Pokémon should be able to be moved.
I also note two extra things: Pokémon that are locked immediately upon hatching should not be moved (for shinies and high-IV Pokémon); and more importantly Pokémon should stay locked while in the PC. In this case they will not be released even if their entire (unlocked) box is selected to be released, nor can they be evolved etc. from their info page while in a box, but they can still be moved around freely.

Totally...useless



I usually lock pokemon when I have something in my party which I don't want to move or evolve. I do this to remove the notification for evolutution and to make the hatch all/move all options ignore the locked pokemon/eggs. If locked pokemon were included in the move all option, then it would lose its functionality to me.

I might be in for an option to make shiny hatching and IV hatching locks to not lock the pokemon in your party, but just ignore the move part of the hatch and move.

If locked Pokémon couldn't be moved by the move-all (or move-multiple) option, but could be moved individually, would that be acceptable?
