What do you do with filler Pokemon from Wonder Trade?

it's always nice to get someones breeding fails, and i tend to keep those. males with egg moves or natures that i may use. if it is a lvl 1 and has nothing to offer me (nature, egg moves, abliity) i put it back into the WT and if its some garbage that someone caught to trade away, i will release it. My boxes are full enough with breeding fodder and fails as it is to hold on to some lvl 15 pidgey. i have never got shinies or females in rare balls through the trade mostly garbage. The odd 6 iv male, those are always nice.

Pretty much, I retrade them, unless I can use them. Usually, I start with something decent, like a fossil pokemon or a breeding leftover. I trade and retrade until I get something I can evolve/use. I feel kind of bad, trading the junk pokemon back out, but then I remember the guy who wonder traded me a Magikarp nicknamed AIDS. >:(

I release starter garbage I get, and I get it often.

I keep other bred pokemon, if they have their hidden ability, egg moves, or nature.

Sometimes if I'm in a bad mood I wonder trade the starter stuff back out. That's rare though. I really only trade 4-5 IV bred pokemon.

I pretty much agree with everyone here.
I keep them if they have movesets, IVS.
I keep all scatterbugs.
I release the rest when i run out of space.

I was lucky to get a farfetch'd with pokerus from a WT.

Usually I just keep the junk. On my old save file, I traded my Yveltal and my prized level 70-something? Simisage.

I am pretty organized with my boxes. I have several wonder trade boxes and unsorted boxes. I will wondertrade all my moms, then sort through by looking at lvl/capture method (scroll through the page 3 summary with down) then release all route caught pokemon. Then I IV check any unmarked pokemon, one's I plan on keeping go to unsorted; one's that aren't good get released. Ones that are good but I don't need go back to the WT box.

Sadly I release them as I don't have much space in my PC Box.

If they have desirable IVs and as well as a beneficial Nature for the Pokémon species, I'll take it under my wing and train it.

If it has/will have the name in english, I usually it in my box in place of my former one.

But if it's a zigzagoon or poochyena or something, I just infect it with pokerus and wonder trade it again.
