**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
Since all PVP regions except for central spire use fake players with random troops right now, I was not expecting to see any shiny or elite level troops, in line with other PVE modes. However, as you can see above, I fought an opponent in Geheron with a gold elite level Nebuladryx. I also found a shiny level 1 (same as my shiny level) Sir Ailuin in Summer Isle, but forgot to get a screenshot.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
This is the first time that I have noticed gold elite level troops in region restriction PVP, but I will keep an eye out.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Participate in region restriction PVP. By the way, when will we start fighting real accounts in region restriction PVP?

AFAIK they are real accounts and they are their troops, just a random selection of them not the team they have set by attacking the region. That’s why you see some traited, some not, some shiny, some medalled.
