    what to do with weedles off wonder trade

    I only got one, which was German so I used it to shiny hatch, but what do YOU do with them?

    note: pokemon like caterpie, fletching, bunnelby, stc. count.

    actually, I got 2 fletching, whom I taught good TMs and re-traded.




    [Note from tabor62: I'd assume this is a discussion about what I edited the title into as it was implied. So discuss away!]
    [Note from natnew: it was. thanks]

  • I'll often release them if they're low level stuff anyone can catch.

    If it's a starter or something cool that I already have and don't need, I'll re-wonder trade it in the off-chance that someone else might appreciate it.

    Other language ones I'll keep for myself in case I ever feel like using them for shiny hatching.

  • If it's something found on the beginning route and doesn't have any remarkable stats, I toss it. I don't want it circulating back around in Wonder Trade.

    If it's something I don't necessarily need, but can see someone out there putting it to good use, I turn it over back into the Wonder Trade.

    In the beginning, when working towards the dex, I accepted those Weedle and such, baha. Traded Pokemon get boosted Experience.

    If horrible Pokemon I release so others don't get them. If it's IV breeding leftovers or something with egg moves I already have I put it back up so others can use it.

    That's a good idea blade. I didn't think of that hmmm

    Release unless it's 5IV or 4IV with Egg Moves. 3 and under get released regardless of region, Egg Moves etc.

  • I keep them for lotto ID purposes because it's almost impossible to wonder trade with the same person. I never put Pokemon I get from WT back in.

    I keep them for lotto id as well and I don't bother returning them back in WT.

    Depending on the level and move set I'll check the IVs. I have gotten quite a few 4-6 IV'd mons off wonder trade. Best thing I've gotten so far is either a 5 iv honedge, or a shiny eevee.

  • I generally just release the lower level Pokemon. I have started raising any Scatterbug/Spewpa I receive in hopes that it will become a different variation of Vivillon. This has happened two or three times now!

  • If they're garbage that I know i'm never gonna look at, like Bunnelby or Scatterbug, I often release them. I've gotten some neat things off of WT, but some disgusting.

    If they have at least a couple perfect IVs i'll hold on to them, but if they don't, they're usually gonna get the boot.

  • I tend to keep anything I get from Wonder Trade or GTS. Even if it's junk, it counts for a unique ID number that increases my odds of getting 1st place at the Poke Lottery :)

    I want more Master Balls!

    I never release Pokémon. Any wonder trade Pokémon are kept for a while. When I run out of Pokémon that I hatched, I start wonder trading away Pokémon I recieve from others.

  • I normally don't like to release things, but because I breed a lot, I end up with way more than I need so releasing happens. That being said though, I also Wonder Trade a lot. Like Lilith, when I get useless Pokemon, especially first route stuff, I usually just release them. Things that were obviously bred, rare Pokemon, or foreign Pokemon are either re-traded or kept at my discretion. I tend to keep a lot of Eevee, any Braixen I get (I'm hoarding them, I'm not even gonna deny it), and foreign Pokemon that I like.

    Oh, gosh darn it. I forgot about the lottery thing. I guess I could keep all the Pokemon from WT instead of just releasing them. I've certainly got the space for it.
