Awesome! I don't think it's impossible for you to get a Hydreigon. By the way, thanks for getting the images already uploaded! It's such a pain :3

Shiny Espeon? Biggest problem there is you can't ask specifically for a shiny in GTS, but I'm not going to discourage you. I'll sign ya up, best of luck!

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?

Update
September 24th traded lucario for level 48 noivern
September 24th traded noivern for level 53 magmortar
September 24th traded magmortar for level 56 Froslass
September 24th traded Froslass for level 61 Scizor
September 24th traded Scizor for level 63 Trevenant (Ivs egg move)
September 24th traded my trevenant for level 55 Kyurem!!!!!!!
This was an exhausting trade I saw the kyurem on the GTS a couple hours later and im like are they crazy idk I guess they were to lazy to trade a Phantump it asked for 2+ ivs well mine had 3 :) also I saw an egg move venom drench on mine hope he likes 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)

Oh my god! This is truly incredible.
 
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! :)
