Pokemon GO cheaters find workaround for slashed Pokemon, Niantic quickly squashes it

As we reported already, Pokemon GO cheaters were finding that their ill-gotten Pokemon were marked with red slashes. That way everyone would know they weren't legitimate captures. Not surprisingly, cheaters found a quick workaround. The slash would disappear if you evolved those Pokemon.

As soon as that evidence popped up online, Niantic was quick to fix the issue. What was the solution? Those with slashed Pokemon can't evolve them!
