Pokémon Wonder Trade Highs and Lows

[Shadow Star]

So have you ever received a really cool or good wonder trade? Or have you given a good one only to receive something really bad in comparison? What was your best and worst wonder trade?

Towards the start of the game of X, I was doing some wonder trades and several people had given me level 40's or 50's that were pretty decent even if I couldn't use them yet. I used them once I was able to and beat the league with them. I felt a bit bad for given low levels in return, but I make sure to give decent leveled pokemon now or ones with good IV's.

Worst one pretty much just happened. A girl had given me a high level dewgong and I had given her a similar level Kecleon. Since I got an urge of Christmas spirit and I wanted to do something nice to pass the chain on, I wonder traded a spare mewtwo I had that a friend gave me some time back. And in return, I get a level 8 magikarp. Of all the luck to get.... Ah, well. I'm not that mad as wonder trades are a gamble. XD

So what's your best and worst wonder trade?

one time, I gave out a 2 IV eevee (because I had so much extra from my shiny breeding lol) and I got probably one of the best pokemon I've ever received. Level 50 SHINY Japanese Greninja with 6 IVs, Protean ability and great moveset with PPs all maxed out, holding a Life Orb, and great stats, and he has the blue pentagon thingy so he ain't hacked. I am honestly wondering why he got into wonder trade lmao (probably accidentally..? probs not though..)

 

[Sun_Spirit]

Wow! Tokkio! That's some super luck right there.
I usually hand out a starter pokemon, like Charmander, or Turtwig and always get a Zigzagoon or Ralts...
It's a love/hate relationship with Wonder Trade :/

i got some good trades before but also duds like wurmple,ralts,zigzagoon and countless others butwhat can you do.

Best Wonder Trade I got was a Gible in my Y that I'm doing my Wonderlocke on currently. This thing is a monster. Like, seriously. Viola will be nothing.

Worst was a Level 1 Bidoof. WITHOUT MOODY.

 

[MishMeesh]

I got a shiny Groudon from wonder trade. Unfortunately I think it was a hack because the pokerus it came with doesn't do what it's supposed to do when I tried infecting other pokemon with it.

I usually trade out whatever pokemon I don't want when breeding in large quantities. So a lot of starters, a lot of chinchous, a lot of eevees.

I don't really understand why people are surprised when they wonder trade a decent pokemon and get a crud one in return.. It's like going all-in on a game of poker and then getting dealt crap cards, and then blaming the dealer.

 

[Mega_Cabbage]

I traded some 5IV modest bulbasaurs that were extras from breeding and I got a level 100 shiny japanese ditto with 6IVs. It's most likely hacked, but... breeding to the extreme!

 

[jobby47]

I have gotten a lot of dumb things like Wurmple, Pidgey, etc. But I have also gotten some good things like Noibats, Gibles, Tyranitars, so you can get some pretty good things from Wonder Trade.

 

[Minene]

I've been giving out 4-6 iv pokemon. haven't received anything good except a japanese ditto. i usually get zigzagoons D:

ONLY WONDER TRADE DURING 12:00 AM (EST) that's where the pros breed and trade rejects

 

[Shadow Star]

Update on my wonder trades! Traded off a 5iv Froakie with perfect nature and ability and got a shiny quagsire in return. First shiny from a wonder trade. I've also been given several pokemon I'm missing in my pokedex which is great.

I'll actually be wonder trading a few shinies and any extra legendaries I've had from wonder trade on Christmas day as an extra gift to random people in the world. And I'll be iv checking some of my leftover pokemon for good iv's and trade them off as well. XD

 

[hdtraves]

wonder trade is a love / hate relationship. sometimes get really cool pokemon...other times it's level 1 pokemon.. for now I'm taking a break from wonder trade

ONLY WONDER TRADE DURING 12:00 AM (EST) that's where the pros breed and trade rejects

I did that last night. I gave away a full box of well bred Audinos. Half of the stuff I got was Poochyenas, Shroomishes, stuff you can find in the first 3 routes. Then I got some stuff kinda rare to ORAS, but you could find it in the first 3 routes of X and Y. The only semi good stuff I got were a Lapras that wasn't bred, and a Charmander that I'll never use. :/

Weird on XY it worked great for me

 

[unintentional]

I really hate it when people complain about getting crappy pokemon from wondertrade, like if you want a good pokemon, go to the GTS. For real.

Best: 3 Legendary Pokemon in a Row for 3 Mewtwos.
Worst: IDK, I guess a level 1 Magikarp.

I'd say I mostly get a bunch of crap, but it's not as though I'm trading out prized possessions myself. Mostly people's breeding rejects or whatever you want to call them. Not to say I've not used a few here and there.

 

[Isabella]

i breed a lot so i've just been giving 5-6 iv pokemon out and in turn i'd just get random stuff. some have been perfect iv's or near perfect and good natures/abilities which is great for a base to start breeding off of. haven't really gotten anything "wow" worthy yet though.

 

[marshmallowXO]

An absolute high was trading a wurmple i'd got in a previous trade and receiving reshiram in return. i felt terrible that the poor guy had been so generous to get such a mediocre pokemon in return!

 

[xenoblade]

I got a Japanese Mawile with Ice and Fire Fang on it today, didn't check to see it's IVs.

I traded a Skarmory, one that I spent a lot of time on, for a Shroomish.

WHO USES SHROOMISH?!
