Addicted to Wonder Trade

[Ricardo]

I like to wondertrade away all my extra iv bred pokemon, I'm trying to masuda method this french 5iv adamant hawlucha (hooray, I found the one person who wasn't lying about the iv to get a rayquaza) with my 6iv hawlucha so I wind up with a ton of adamant 4-5 iv hawluchas.

A lot of people complain about getting trash on wondertrade but I go in hoping for lame pokemon just so I can release them from the endless cycle of "Ah man, bidoofs are so lame... Why can't people trade anything good? *retrade*"

I do the exact same thing.
Back when I had lots of boxes empty and people wondertraded good stuff, I would keep all level 1 pokes. But now that the era has passed and my boxes are full, I release all wondertrade pokemon to make room for the next batch of babies. Heck even my message is "WT Gbge Disposal" because I practrically help clean up wondertrade a little.

I've gotten some great pokemon from WT. I got some starters and then Omanyte and Kabuto, which was good cause I have X and can't get them without a transfer. But one of the best things I got was a level 100 shiny Victreebel. Whaaaaaat.

Yesterday i got a shiny Level 100 Breloom and I released it on purpose XD

Not really, I'm not using it very much anymore. It annoys me that I'm giving a cool pokes there and I'm getting back Honedge or Bidoof or something lamey like that. Sometimes you can get cool stuff as well like Scatterbugs or female starters, but not too often though..

Oh hey, didn't see this thread before. I like wondertrade. I dump 4iv+ breeding spitbacks and I have about 50k pokemiles from just that lol. The vast majority of stuff I see is wild-caught scrubs (if you're the sort of person who sends out lv2 wild-caught fletchlings I hope you step on a lego) but sometimes there's a nice surprise! It kind of depends when you use it as to whether you get anything nice back: I've noticed that I rarely get anything other than crap when the Americans are online, but Japanese players are commonly throwing out 5iv spitbacks.

I've had two shinies so far, both friend safari stuff (Electrode and Yanakkie, the grass monkey, don't know English name offhand), and a lot of nice 5IV stuff that I've trained up to use, along with lots of miscellaneous scrubs that I kept because they had funny names.
