Trade Fails!
 
Wondering if anybody has experienced the same thing, I just accidentally traded my lucky egg away :( Epic Fail...

Pangoro October 21st, 2013 11:59 AM

Azire October 21st, 2013 12:07 PM

I got a Luvdisc on Wonder Trade and I have a problem of not looking for items when I'm Wonder Trading and noticed it had a Heart Scale as I was sending it away. It upset me. I need lots of Heart Scales. :(

If you're looking for a lot of Heart Scales, just teach a pokemon Thief and use Old Rod at Cyllage City to battle Luvdiscs and watch the Heart Scales roll in.

PS. make sure said pokemon isn't holding an item already. If your pokemon steals the heart scale, it will automatically tell you in battle.

I don't abuse Wonder Trading, so I'm a bit different in this regard, but...

I still hate it when people ask for illegals/unobtainables on GTS.

Pangoro October 21st, 2013 1:25 PM

Atully theres another way to get Heart Scales too. If you used the Pokemon Global Link, you can send in the pokemiles you ern thu trading and buy them with the points on the site. You just have to syce you game then buy the item and sync agian to get it ingame. Thu sycing can be a bit of a pain as it always seems to be busy :/

Guy October 22nd, 2013 9:07 AM

I haven't had any trade fails in my past, but I'm sure there are many others in the Trade Corner forum who have experienced such a disaster.

TwilightBlade October 22nd, 2013 7:59 PM

I totally couldn't find my Everstone today. I either traded it on accident or stupidly sent something though Wonder Trade... :(

Good thing I can steal some from wild Roggenrola.

ChattyTiger October 24th, 2013 1:23 PM

I left my Lucky Egg on a Krokorok that I traded. :/

Blueredemption October 30th, 2013 1:20 PM

i used to always trade away my EXP-share but that's no longer a problem so... nothing has really happened yet in X-Y, though someone failed on the other end because he/she traded away there gardevoir with its megastone through wonder trade.

Arma October 30th, 2013 2:20 PM

I traded away a marine pattern Vivillon with a good nature, Now I'm stuck with a crappy one instead.
... I can only get continental ones myself...

Sableye~ November 2nd, 2013 9:19 AM

I've accidentally put up shiny/legendary Pokemon on GTS while cloning an uncountable amount of times. I'm a bit paranoid about that, so I usually ask for something impossible to avoid losing them (like a level 9 and under Mewtwo).
I also accidentally traded away my first ever RNG'd Pokemon (a shiny Eevee) because I had forgotten that it was the first. I just remembered that it had poor IVs and I would never really use it. D:

Sam89 November 20th, 2013 4:38 PM

I traded a Haunter and a Kadabra and a Pumpkaboo all with everstones. I got Phantump on wonder trade. I traded for Kadabra but I looked for a Beldum and someone wanted Treavenant. I got so mad. I also traded a Lucario for a Riolu because someone wanted a Riolu for a Pumpkaboo. I traded my Blazicken on wonder trade and Yvetal and Delphox and all my good ones because I was restarting my game. I wanted to make someone happy.

I recently traded my Xerneas for a shiny Clauncher on the GTS. It was only after the trade had started that I remembered chain fishing is a thing, and shiny Clauncher is pretty much worthless. I tried to turn my communications switch off, but it was too late by then.

I actually like getting trade evos with Everstones. Cause that just means I get more Everstones! :D

When I managed to get my shiny Pumpkaboo off the GTS it came with an Everstone. And tbh, shiny Pumpkaboo > shiny Gourgeist.

Try putting it back up for another Xerneas. Even though shiny fishables are very common, I do see shiny Claunchers get taken for XY legendaries.

Gogoat Rocks! December 6th, 2013 6:14 PM

I had a epic wonder trade fail. I got a Charmander in wonder trade, and then put it back in wonder trade because I had a lot of Charmanders. at the last second I realised it had a Charizardnite X on it :( :( :( I'm sad now.

xrawrr December 21st, 2013 6:58 PM

I have also fell victim to the lucky egg fail, I miss that thing like mad :( haha! I have also entered my charizard with charizardite x, lucky I managed to switch off the 3DS in time or i would have more or likely have started again xD

Sandslash Fan December 23rd, 2013 9:37 AM

Thankfully haven't WT'd away any items yet. I always take a long pause and review the Pokemon I'm selecting to trade. I usually empty my party and put a bunch of pokes that I am going to trade on the roster and don't scroll over to my PC boxes at all.

Nice to hear that people trade legends for a shiny... maybe I'll try to get some shiny Pokemon from a friend safari and put them up for the other two bird legends I am missing :)

I thought you couldn't trade megastones on Wondertrade.

Earthbound93 December 29th, 2013 5:25 PM

I accidentally wonder traded a shiny once... but it was just a goldeen so I didn't beat myself up over it.

Treetwig January 2nd, 2014 7:58 PM

I accidentally traded my 4ivs ditto with destiny knot :(

IvyJade January 6th, 2014 9:48 AM

I narrowly missed one. I got the Ralts from Diatha and didn't know it was holding the mega stone (so I put it in my tradable box) until I was reading about mega stones and saw it. I immediately turned on my game to make sure I still had it. I did, which was good, because a few weeks later I traded off the pokemon I didn't need.

I also once thought I traded off my soothe bell. I found it though.

Natnew January 16th, 2014 3:04 PM

so far so good. I'm always careful, because when I put beedrill on wonder trade, I always check I'm not trading the one I use on my team (L69). I almost re-traded a foongus with a tinymushroom, though.

Firox January 16th, 2014 3:53 PM

I'm sure this counts:

At time I made the trade, I didn't realized I needed a Shiny Stone to make Minccino evolve (in my mind I kept thinking I needed a Moon Stone) - it was until read it on Bulbagardens that Shiny Stone is required, I realized I had traded that stone away. I was kind of disappointed with myself.

Luckily for me, in a future trade (after my incident above) someone sent me a shiny stone (very happy with Cinccino now).

She_Delphox January 20th, 2014 5:58 AM

:( I think I didn't pay attention once while trading a Pokemon away, and it was still holding my Smoke Ball (I think), because I can't seem to find it now anywhere in my Items :(
Ah well, I can have my friends' but still, pretty stupid I didn't pay any attention whatsoever if the Pokemon I traded away was actually holding an item or not >_<

Btw, I too, get bothered by A LOT of people with no soul pranking the GTS by asking waaaaay over the top Pokemon for a Pokemon in return that is quite easy to obtain! Also, I noticed a lot of people spamming there, asking the SAME Pokemon in return but with another gender or higher level... seriously, are people that impatient/dislike the game they can't breed for themselves or lack the joys of training them?... This amazes me every time...

Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot, I NEARLY traded my shiny Volbeat away to someone for a normal Spinda... WHAT was I thinking?! (must have been tired xD)... I noticed just in time, and I immediately turned my 3DS XL console off... Sorry about that, random stranger, but I wasn't planning on trading a shiny for a normal-easy-to-obtain Pokemon xD

I once accidentally traded away my Lucky Egg... fortunately it was an extra one I got from a trade with someone else who probably did the same :P I also traded away my Nevermeltice, but that was because it was a really good offer and I didn't want to go back and remove the item only to find the Pokemon snapped up by someone else.

I've done that kind of thing a few times. I was trading all my extra stones (the ones that are harder to get, not the ones you can just buy) from my X over to my Y so I could evolve more Pokemon while working on my National Dex. Then forgot to remove all the stones from said trades.... then while looking on the GTS ended up trading a few just snapping up dex fillers. Not as bad as loosing a lucky egg.... but did cause me to work extra hard on Secret Training for over an hour trying to get more Moon Stones and Sun Stones.

Shrew February 14th, 2014 10:44 AM

I've almost GTS'd my Lucky Egg three times, because I'll raise-up a pokemon that's needed with it quickly, and then forget to remove it. :P

Fastblade March 17th, 2014 3:36 PM

I have the biggest fail of all.

When I first got the game, a friend gave me 5 shinies for safe-keeping. We decided to try and trade them, eventually working our way up the totem pole of awesome shinies.
Well, at this point I didn't know what a shiny Paras looked like, and this guy offered it to me for my friend's shiny Clauncher. I noticed Paras looked lighter than in the other games, so I thought it was a shiny.
...needless to say, when I got it, I was extremely angry.
Then, the guy wouldn't even give it back. He legit tricked me and ran away with my friend's shiny.

I've learned from my lesson since then. I memorized all shinies, pretty much, and I make sure to check the other's summary before trading.
Thankfully, I replaced Clauncher since then, but it doesn't really matter since Shiny Claunchers are extremely common.

Meganium March 24th, 2014 2:21 PM

I traded my Event Arceus (L100, 2-3 IVs) away and got a Purrloin in return. Feel free to slap me.

After that, I am not trading any legendaries again. :P But then, I was a noob at trading back then, so I learned my lesson.

Master Kavar April 23rd, 2014 11:25 PM

i have i was wonder trading an accidentally gave a breeding pokemon ehh woops lol

sebbro December 22nd, 2014 11:28 AM

I have experienced a couple of fails with trading myself. I once traded a regular kadabra for what me AND the person I traded with thought to be a regular haunter. Only a MONTH after the trade did I find out it was a shiny, because I was searching through the box XD.

Another fail was getting a shiny level 1 togepi through wondertrade, not checking it's status, and kicking it back to it without noticing it being shiny! Only noticed much later when browsing my pokedex for interesting entries (seriously, the stuff out there...) did I noticed, because I only ever HAD this one, and seen the only entry was that of a shiny.

Now a win for me, but a fail for somebody else. I once got a regular level 40 suicune, nothing too fancy, for a ralts on wondertrade. But the luck doesn't end there; later the same day, somebody send be a trade offer when I played pokemon Y, which I accepted, and traded me an ACTUALLY LEGIT shiny darkrai for it. Best day to play pokemon XD

Not wanting to start a trade thread, but I have some spare legendaries I plan to trade for shiny. If interested, pm me :)

accursed January 29th, 2015 10:12 AM

Someone is crying. Last night I got a destiny knot attached to a 2 iv ditto from wonder trade.

Pendraflare January 29th, 2015 3:43 PM

^ Oh goodness, that sounds like something that'd make for a nice deal today. But I wonder what the person who sent it got in exchange...

Stormerbuzz35 February 3rd, 2015 4:21 AM

I put up a Treecko for a Fletchling and put that it must have Flamebody in the comments. Got one with Big Pecks....
The GTS is kinda fail. Too many fools trying to get legends of trashymons.

MAG24 June 2nd, 2015 2:34 PM

Was trading a shiny eevee for a shiny electivire yesterday and got a non shiny with a really lousy nick name. HML

Kirestananderson01 July 15th, 2015 10:00 PM

LilyGardy August 1st, 2015 11:37 AM

I once traded a salamanca for what I thought was a shiny Forretress. Unfortunately I didn't know all Foretress' Are red and white.

Tamashi_Seishiro November 3rd, 2015 4:53 AM

I traded few pokemons with THEIR mega stone. Also I traded my Kyogre with it's Blue Orb *facepalm*

RandiM14 November 23rd, 2015 8:19 AM

I traded my soothe bell yesterday! Luckily, the guy traded it back to me so I could take it off!

Grumpy Gray December 10th, 2015 7:30 AM

I traded a level 90 deoxys for a freakin unknown
