I'm sure by now that many people reading this are familiar with the Wonder Trade Challenge, where you wonder trade six of your pokemon as soon as possible and use only those six pokemon to play through the game. However, not everybody is willing to restart their game to complete this challenge, so I am introducing the Wonder Trade Score Challenge to the Pokemon community.
The Wonder Trade Score Challenge does not require you to restart your game. All you have to do is find six pokemon you don't want and wonder trade them, but make sure to keep whatever you receive so you can score the pokemon you received. After you do your wonder trades, you will have to score your pokemon one by one. Get out a calculator, because I'm about to walk you through the scoring process.
1. Level
Check the level of the pokemon. Whatever the level is, divide it by two to see how many points you receive for the level. If the level is an odd number, round up.
Examples:
Lv. 30 = 15 points
Lv. 25 = 13 points
Lv. 1 = 1 point
2. Evolution Stage
If your pokemon is in it's basic stage (no pre-evolutions), then it gets 0 points.
If your pokemon is at stage one (1 pre-evolution), then it gets 5 points.
If your pokemon is at stage two (2 pre-evolutions), then it gets 15 points.
If your pokemon cannot evolve and has no pre-evolutions, then it gets 5 points.
3. Held Item
If your pokemon isn't holding an item, then it gets 0 points.
If your pokemon is holding a berry, then it gets 5 points.
If your pokemon is holding an item that has no usage other than to sell for money (examples: pearl, big mushroom), then it gets 10 points.
If your pokemon is holding any item not mentioned above, then it gets 15 points.
4. Hidden Ability and Egg Moves
Check your pokemon's ability. If it has it's hidden ability, it gets 10 points.
Check if your pokemon has any egg moves. fr each egg move it has, score it based off of the following chart:
Each egg move that has a base power of 5-35 gets 5 points.
Each egg move that has a base power of 40-75 gets 10 points.
Each egg move that has a base power of 80 or higher gets 15 points.
Each egg move that is a status move gets 5 points.
Each egg move that does not fall into any of the above categories gets 5 points.
NOTE: When checking what the power of an egg move is, STAB does not make any difference. Ignore the types of your pokemon when calculating egg move scores. Also, moves like bullet seed that hit more than once do not allow you to multiply the base power by anything.
5. Shiny, Pokerus, and Legendary Pokemon
If your pokemon is shiny, it gets 30 points.
If your pokemon comes with Pokerus, it get 15 points.
If your pokemon is legendary, it get 20 points.
6. Kalos bred and Hoenn bred pokemon
If your pokemon has a blue pentagon above its moveset in its summary, it gets 10 points.
7. IVs
You can check a pokemon's IVs at the judge in Kiloude City.
Each perfect IV that your pokemon has gets 5 points.
So that covers every possible way to get points. Do that for each of the six pokemon you received, and then calculate your total score. Once you have you're total score, post it below! You can also use this as a competition against a friend.
I did this challenge myself, and my total score was 178. Let's see who can beat it!
A NOTE ABOUT CHEATING: Keep in mind that there is no reward for having a high score, so there is no point in lying about your score. I expect that everyone who replies to this is honest. Thank you.
