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.

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.

Releasing is probably the best thign to do.. the world is flooded with tens and thousands of pointless WT pokes that are extremely common :|

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 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.

I'm currently stockpiling them for Loto-IDs. One day I'm going to release ones with redundant 3-last digits... I was kinda hoping that Pokebank would have had an easy way to sort things by player ID, but I guess I can do it by spreadsheet. 8^)

I'm a big fan of Wonder Trade. I love the quick simplicity of trading with other people without getting frustrated from looking for something specific. I've learned that its a little less than 50/50 of people breeding to the people just tossing whatever cruddy pokemon they've just caught onto WT.

Whenever I get something that someone clearly just caught to throw up on WT I find myself releasing them back into the wild. When someone's been clearly breeding, I like to look over the pokemon more thoroughly before deciding whether or not I'm going to rerelease it onto WT or just release it into the wild.

I like seeing what people are breeding. I also like sharing my hard-to-get, bred Pokemon with everyone else!

I hope whoever is trading those horrible Pokemon are happy to be receiving flawless shinies in return lol The worse the Pokemon is the more I want to trade better Pokemon to make Wonder Trade better for others. Please don't trade a Weedle you caught hoping for one of my shinies though. :(

if it's something caught before the point where I'm at, and it's english, I just stash them in a box to use as junk, since I have a habit of helping hold items for people when they're restarting. Sometimes I take a few out if the box is getting to be more than halfway full and spread Pokerus to them and trade 'em away.

I fit's something that's not English or German, I usually keep it in a box with all my other foreign Pokemon.

German Pokemon I just retrade if I can just get one myself later on. (My game is in German anyway)

So far, I've kept them all. I like receiving breeding leftovers because they help me complete my dex, haha.

I'll probably release the worse ones when I'm running out of space, just like you guys.

and i will love to see that day
