You're doing great! It took me 4 days of trading (2 days of inactivity due to camping, so really 2 days) to go from Ralts to Phione.

Thanks! I'm hoping it will do well too. As for the 5IV, it might make it more valuable, but besides that no need to list it. I'll sign you up, best of luck!

Note to all: I can't get anyone to take my Phione! Any ideas?

Note to all 2: Huge thread renovation. How do you like it?

I plan on looking for a shiny with kyurem so itll be shiny 4 shiny for shiny for better shiny then hopefully espeon :) So pretty much really extremely busy day for trading and I made excellent progress I said im not stopping till I get a legend which I did but I swear if I had to wait I would have said tommarrow ill get a legend haha now onto shinies which will be much much harder!

I just won't list that it's 5IV when I put it up on GTS or something. It's just something I have a ton of. I don't really have anything crappy. I'll probably go through this slowly btw. lol I'm busy with school and when I finish work, I reward myself with Chrono Trigger. :P

As for that Phione, you could always try backtracking in your efforts and go for something of lesser value and then try to plow back up. Phione is something pretty easily obtainable to anyone with a Manaphy, so it might be a difficult trade unless you settle for something a bit less. Best of luck. :)

Thanks for the tip! I suppose Mewtwo for Phione was a bad move :(. I might just start over.

9/23: Riolu lv.6 -> Meditite lv. 1
9/25: Lv. 1 Meditite -> Lv. 100 Slurpuff


(I noticed it was down from the GTS on 9/25; could've been anywhere from 9/23-9/25 since I didn't check)


considering this slurpuff is EV trained(4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spe), 5iv (missing sp. attack), Adamant, has Unburden, and is running a belly drum set with return/play rough/belly drum/façade, has pokerus, and is a pokemon Y exclusive outside of the friend safari (I have X)... I kinda want to keep it :P so, changing my goal to "compeditive poke", since this slurpuff basically has the EXACT set described by smogon (only it's nature is off, though both Jolly and Adamant are existent similar) (plus façade is not there, just filler) (yay fancy ç)

Well I have a long lasting collection of shinies and I already have many shiny starters so this is kinda easier as long as I stay on and keep using shout outs! :)

I love this idea! I've been meaning on doing something like this for a long time now, hehe.

Starting Pokemon: Level 1 Meowth (September 27th)
Goal: Level 100 Pokemon
Game: X

At first I wanted to do an event Pokemon too, so I thought how about Jirachi? But I thought, let's see if there are any Jirachi on the GTS, and I checked... and I was horrified. So I'm going for something less likely to be hacked. As for my starter, she's a random level 1 Meowth, no IVs and no egg moves. Her only forte is that she's a bank Pokemon, which may not mean much nowadays anyway hehe.

[EDIT]
So I put up my Meowth for a Togetic, figured an evolved bank Pokemon would be better than a level 1 bank Pokemon, plus I was missing the 'dex entry hehe. So I get a level 17 female Togetic named Jay Jay, that I immediately put up for trade, and as I'm depositing her, I notice she's marked as a 5IV. Nice. For my next target I chose Blaziken, also missing 'dex entry. Ten minutes later, I think, hey I should probably check if it that Togetic really is a 5IV, and then edit my message on the GTS, to attract people. So I go to the GTS, and lo and behold, it was already traded! I'm now staring at the summary screen of a level 41, German male Blaziken with Speed Boost. I wonder what I should put him up for, hmm.

tl;dr Meowth lv 1 > Togetic lv 17 > Blaziken lv 41

Thanks, you too! I guess that's true, and I don't mind clones, and for traded Pokemon, I can't really know it it's legit or just legal anyway. Actually, what truly bothers me was that 90% of the Jirachi I saw on the GTS today were obvious hacks and had offensive names. All spelled out, no zeros instead of O-s or something. It was my first time on the GTS after they hacked the 3DS, I had heard about these things going on, but I was still taken aback, I guess.

And I thought we were unable to trade mega stones over the GTS and WT? {XD}

I actually changed it again from meloetta cuz I didn't see any on the GTS so I wasn't sure if they were even in circulation XD

I changed it to Giratina now cuz at least those are on the GTS.

And I have some progress so far!

The rules state no tampering with the pokemon, but I can make an exception for mega stones if you so choose.

Starting Pokemon: Level 10 Squirtle on Sept. 27
Goal: Suicine
Game: Pokemon X


Should be fun!
Good luck.

Starting Pokemon: Pansear, Level 4, Sept 27
Goal: Giratina
Game: X

This seems pretty fun c:
I'll sign you up. Best of luck!
