Best things I've had...a Level 100 Charizard, a Shiny Steelix and a Phione. Nothing too great (Phione is the weakest legendary after all) but still decent.

God bless the person I am about to wonder trade with because I am going to give them a lvl 50 acreus......

NVM I couldn't find anyone.....

I like to put my pokémon that I don't want to have when I do a Masuda method. Most of them are Starters/Rare.
I've found 5 starters, 2 shinys and 5 pokémons with egg moves here.

Best Wonder Trade ever?
 
What is the best thing you ever got in wonder trade? I have actually gotten a shiny in Wonder Trafe several times, but for me the best thing was Arceus.
What about you?

Victini101 April 20th, 2015 7:17 PM

I've gotten many good pokemon, but never a legendary or shiny. Most of the time its weedles, but I've gotten Lucarios, Tyrunts, Four froakies, charmander, larvitar and some others.

So I did a Wonderlocke two months ago, but I don't remember what I would say the coolest thing I got was. I did obtain a Squirtle with 5 IVs and some nice egg moves, but it wasn't part of my team... There was a Scyther on that and a Conkeldurr with Iron Fist and Mach Punch. Fun stuff.

Kitrigar April 22nd, 2015 4:13 PM

Never did get any shinies or rares, but I have gotten some good IV'd Pokemon that I still have from my first WT's xD

Calypsio April 24th, 2015 4:51 AM

I got a shiny once; it turned out to be a hack D;

I've gotten some good IV pokemon with some nice egg moves, most of them are probably breeding rejects.

I give away HA pokemon and breeding rejects on WT. Most of them have 2-4IVs and a good nature. I also give away dream ball males who have decent IVs.

I have heard that Wednesday is the day that people give out rare pokemon on WT. I'll have to get in on it and pass out some too.

I got excited when I received a Chimchar in Wonder Trade myself, but I think one of the biggest mistakes I made was being generous and giving away my Glaceon... I got a Wurmple in return.

ugtgrime May 7th, 2015 4:24 PM

I did it once, gave up a solrock, got a slakoth with an egg move back but shocking stats.

Do you consider Wonder Trade as cheating?
 
Posted this in another section but I was told it would be better here.

I grew up with R/B/Y G/S/C and my last games were D/P/Pl. Yesterday I purchased Alpha Sapphire and it has blown my mind how much more advanced it is. One thing I've had particular fun with is Wonder Trade. Now I've only just got my first badge from Rustboro, and through Wonder Trade I've been extremely fortunate! My first two were Archen and Deino, which I now realise are fossil pokemon which I thought was pretty cool to get for free. Then a Lv. 15 Magikarp which knows Tackle, so I can train to Gyarados pretty easily. Following this were two Totodile's and a Bulbasaur, which again I thought was great considering they're starters from other Generations. Now a Lv 50 Gengar!

My question is, does anyone consider it somewhat cheating to use Pokemon obtained through Wonder Trade? I've only used Deino so far as he was Lv 1 and I've seen it has extremely high LV Evolutions so I'm going to use it through my game to make that easier later on. Do rare pokemon usually come through Wonder Trade?

You've been rather lucky in getting rare Pokémon :) . I don't really consider Wonder Trade cheating, especially because there is a level cap on traded Pokémon meaning they won't obey you anymore until you get a new badge. Though that cap is much more annoying in X and Y because of the large gap between the first and second gym and in ORAS the level required to complete the game comfortably isn't that high. Also there are a lot of (well-known) youtubers that organise Wonder Trade days (livestreams on twitch) and they usually garner a lot of attention and if you manage to catch one and participate, most people get 2 or 3 shinies or battle-ready Pokémon for approx. every 30 pokémon traded.

I've been off here for so long, but since recently getting a new 2ds and AS i have been going WT crazy. I received a LV100 shiny Thundurus in therian forme, Celebi, Phione, a shiny perfect 6IV shiny Tauros and a Regigigas as well as numerous 2-4IV breedjects and other WT regulars. So you can hit lucky on it, sometimes.

the420urchin May 27th, 2015 4:01 PM

Well now ladies and gents, I haven't fully parsed through all these pages, but I believe I can aid in some wondertrade advice. First let me say through wonder trade i get at least 3-4 shiny and/or legends a week. The real trick to the trade here is timing; or in other words, Wondertrade Wednsday! This amazing fan held event takes place every wed and many people trade not only 5 iv breedjects and comp uts but lvl 100 comps, shiny breed pokemon, older shiny pokemon (no hexagon) and legendary pokemon. Now is a great time, I just got a shiny lvl 100 Jumpluff as well many useful breeders and have been WT for about an hour. I suggest trading at least 4 or 5 iv breedjects for WTW though, but I like to through in my unused comps and shinys as well. Just try not to do to much useless pokemon as to encourage the good health of WTW.

I would also like to share my thoughts on wonder trade etiquette. Mainly because I have seen quite a lot of people complaining about garbage WT mons and yet are the first to put them right back in WT. This is my WT rule; As you play through the game it is acceptable to wondertrade bad pokemon to get a better or more preferred team for yourself. Once you have beaten the game and are breeding comp pokemon, you have no reason to send those same garbage pokemon through WT. So instead you do your normal breedject WT sessions, but instead of just cyclying back in bad pokemon you recieve instead simply release them. It is not only faster but the courteous thing to do, specially if you yourself traded off zigzagoons and wurmples back when you were starting your journey.

I hope this helps some of you get some more awesome wonder trade suprises!

A lv.3 Fletchling?! YOU SERIOUS?!
 
Wonder Trade is a feature that was introduced in X and Y. It is a much easier way to trade, all you have to do is select the pokemon you want to trade and boom! It randomly pairs you up with someone else using the feature. The problem is, you don't know what Pokemon you will get. So, what do you think of Wonder Trades? Do you use it that much? What was your reaction the first time you used it? xD

I think they aren't bad, you can get good trades and...well, troll the other guy using it...

I don't really use it that much, because in my opinion, normal trading is better, even if it takes more time :x I remember finally catching a Mawile in a cave in x and y (forgot the name). I think they were rare, and then i used Wonder trade for the first time. I didn't have many good Pokemons, so I just chose Mawile. So, what did I get in return? A LV.3 FLETCHLING THAT CAN EASILY BE FOUND IN THE GAME! Who knows if that guy beat the game, and has the Mawilite. That means he got a Mega Mawile for free >:( That guy trolled me and I was so mad at the time I turned off my 3DS right after that.

Hikamaru June 16th, 2015 8:24 PM

Online trading is always the worst when you get given something that can easily be caught on a normal route. It shows just how useless some can be when it comes to knowing what people want and don't want, or even worse the value of a certain Pokemon.

DyingWillFlareon June 17th, 2015 2:34 PM

The best I've gotten was a flurry of starters. I wish I could find a shiny. My friend was over and wondertraded to get a LEVEL 51 SHINY POLITOED. IN MY HOME. HOW DARE SHE. jk

I like to WT Egg Move Feebas with Pokerus and occasionally a berry. OT is Al in case you ever got one.
