I'll drop an extra legendary for something I don't feel like breeding or training for... got a really good Scizor that way. I never use legendary pokemon, even in the main quest, so it helps a lot.

I think the GTS has improved somewhat. It also became a hub for Vivillon exchange too. I've gotten most of the patterns that way and it only required either a starter Pokemon or a Vivillon of a different pattern. Sure, there are still some silly requests out there that people want to trade a L5 Zekrom for a Magikarp, but those are just down at the bottom, which is ok.

I got Poliwhirl with Kings Rock that way too, but until I found out Politoed's ability wasn't Drizzle, I kinda don't want it anymore xD

Yer vivillon exchange to one from around the world as a different pattern made the GTS a but more exciting :-)

I was just dex hunting in the gts recently when I came across a shiny nidoran. And all the other person wanted was a simple rayquaza. Naturally I jumped on it. Now im questioning it though.

It has a masterball and it is from sinnoh. Movesets and stats look okay. Very suspicious though. Til its proven unhacked, its facing isolation lmao

Most offers I see suck, so I put up my own for trade. I just use pokemon you can't get in kalos and stick them up there for something I want. Or shinies sometimes if I'm feeling really lazy or need a legend

I don't find GTS very useful, mostly because most people put up common pokemon for insane offers like legendaries and shinies of impossible levels. I also don't have very many pokemon. I prefer negotiations or wonder trade--wonder trade just cuz it's fun.

If your doing GTS only offer version exclusives otherwise you wont get what you want and don't ever try to get legendaries on gts unless its an easy one. (Articuno for Machoke) if you offer version exclusives you should be able to get whatever you want within minutes because for completion people WILL need them. I got EVERY starter and other exclusives yesterday just by spam catching seedots zangoose and solrocks and offering them for said starters and exclusives like lotad and sableye. Like I said though when it comes to legendaries, never GTS.

Although I have my gripes, I'm finding the GTS a useful way to build up my Dex and store of tradable legendaries/shinies.

What do you guys think is popular on the GTS right now? At the moment I'm putting up Safari Dittos which seem to get snapped up, even for legendaries and shinies.

I find GTS to be a mixed bag. When searching for a pokemon, I find a lot of people making absurd offers such as wanting a celebi in exchange for a totodile. However, this can be turned beneficial since it makes reasonable offers stand out a lot more. Most of the pokemon I upload get traded within minutes.
