People don't seem to understand the values of pokemon and try to get more for their pokemon than they are worth in the GTS. This is how I value a pokemon:
Tier 1:
First you need to know if the pokemon is obtainable ingame all regular pokemon are obtainable ingame from the gen 3 to 6 games there is no gap unfilled when it comes to regular Pokemon. You can get as many of them as you want by breeding and catching, thats why it has the lowest value of tier 1. You ofcourse also have an unique tier just for starters, you can trade starters for other starters but don't try to trade them for legendaries, thats just greedy.
Tier 2:
Than you got the legendaries, you can only get one in an entire playthrough of a game and its not breedable so there's no way to obtain more than one per game, thats why they have a value of tier 2. Shinies are tied with legendaries on tier 2 because (even though it became easier) shinies are still very hard to get for most players. Game specific mega stones can be added to this tier as well. Mega stones like charizard X/Y, Mewtwo X/Y, Tyranitar/Aggron, Houndoom/Manectric and Pinser/Heracross. These values could change depending on how much you want a legendary, shiny or mega pokemon. It's all about personal preference after all.
Tier 3:
Tier 3 pokemon are ofcourse event pokemon, event pokemon are not obtainable ingame and you have to go to an event to get these. Thats if you live close to a gamestop or other stores that host these events. Not a lot of players ever get the chance of going to an event so these pokemon are unobtainable for them. Thats why they are so rare, these pokemon include:
Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Phione, Manaphy, Arceus, Darkrai, Shaymin, Genesect, Victini, Keldeo and Meloetta. If you were to be able to filter these pokemon out on GTS I don't think you would have a GTS left because 99.9% of the players ask for these no matter what pokemon you search. They are also tied with shiny legendaries if not higher tiered, if you are planning on trading your event pokemon, take no less than a shiny legendary.
Tier 4:
Tier 4 pokemon are the shiny event pokemon, you can pretty much get anything with these.
So if you have a pokemon you have to ask yourself:
- Can I breed this pokemon?
- Can I catch another one of these pokemon?
- Is the chance of catching one smaller than 1 in 8192?
- Can I catch this pokemon ingame?
If the answers are all no your pokemon might just be a tier 3 pokemon.
