An NSFW Pokemon Go challenge has left trainers blushing

Pokemon Go shocked players with one of its latest Field Research challenges, which has an odd title.

An avid Pokemon Go player took to Reddit to show a strange Field Research challenge they came across during their travels. The challenge is titled “Scan The Cock,” which sounds possibly NSFW.

What is this whacky challenge really all about? Here’s what we know about “Scan The Cock,” the latest Field Research challenge in Pokemon Go.

Pokemon Go challenge has unfortunate innuendo

The Pokemon Go subreddit exploded after a trainer pointed out a strange Field Research task called “Scan The Cock.”

Luckily, this isn’t some kinky bedroom task but a legit challenge. The Cock is actually the name of a pub that the Pokemon Go trainer lives near. Scanning local Pokestops is quite common in Pokemon Go — this Pokestop just happened to have a rather odd innuendo for trainers to poke fun at.

This led to a lot of funny responses from Pokemon Go fans on the forum who had witty responses to the odd title. Here’s what some of the fans had to say:

• Some people will do anything for a Poffin
• I’ve done it for less
• I can’t figure out why I’ve been banned. All I did was the task they asked for
• Let me help you with that
• Download Tinder. You can have this done in 20 minutes

There have been similarly wacky incidents in Pokemon Go before. A recent bug left Pokemon moving in a questionable manner during a gym battle. This led some trainers to say: “Now, this is a battle.”

Pokemon Go is usually a very age-appropriate and wholesome app for all ages. Maybe just don’t bring it near a strip club or any store with a questionable name if you don’t want kids scanning something strange.
