Trading out Shaymin

Okay. To settle things, Shaymin is actually a good Pokemon. It is regarded in the terms of Uber Pokemon and is placed in the OU (Over Used) tier of competitive battling. It has 100 base stats in all stats, which makes it an excellent sweeper in Attack or Sp. Attack. However, this depends on the nature, IVs, EVs and so on. So, when you are getting ready to just...give away...a Shaymin, think twice. There are better Pokemon to obtain with trading a Shaymin (ie Darkrai, Arceus [when it comes out], and other event Pokemon.)

Now that I have said that, are you still going to trade that Shaymin after I have told you how excellent of a Pokemon it is.
