Speaking of forgotten Pokémon, I'm on my first run through Moon right now and got my rear end handed to me by the Marowak fire trial totem Pokémon.

So I went and got a Finneon to train up. No one will ever see it coming.

Anybody have a Sigilyph kicking around that they wouldn't mind parting with? I've been trying to get one off of GTS for days now, and everybody wants Legendaries or Cosmog for it.

I'll have to breed it and send it up to Moon from Alpha Sapphire, but if that's all right, I'll have one you can have!

A Wishiwashi makes that trial trivial. Almost no training needed beyond getting it to Schooling form.

In the future, don't use GTS this way. Breed or catch something even moderately rare and Deposit it to the GTS, asking for a Sigilyph in return. You will get one within 24 hours, probably a lot less than that. The only trades that hang around the GTS for any length of time are the stupid ones asking for legendaries for common trash. The reasonable ones get snapped up almost immediately, leaving the stupid ones behind.

I would kill for a feature that lets you search GTS by what people want, and I've been saying that since the GTS was invented.

My experience with GTS was with OR, and things I'd put up would get traded fairly quickly. Since getting Sun, trades have been much slower.

Searching for what people want would be great, and I can't imagine why they don't have it.

You could get things you don't know exist that way - you could ask "who wants a Pidgeot?" and discover someone offering a Mime Jr for a Pidgeot even though you didn't know a Mime Jr existed. (It used to be that you couldn't search for anything you hadn't seen in-game, to prevent GTS from revealing new pokemon to you, and then someone pointed out, "What if someone's played six of the games already and knows Onix exist?" so now you can type in o-n-i-x and see if anyone's offering one.)

Edit: I looked to see if there were any Charmanders on the GTS seeking a Sigilyph, but no luck :v:

Now that I've seen that completing the Hoenn pokedex is rewarded with a poster for the wall, I kind of want to try doing that. Is there a spreadsheet out there with what pokemon are required to complete that dex? (I'm assuming I have to have all however-many, not just see them.)

It'd be easier to make an exclusionary list, that being all the Mythical [event-only] Pokémon (with the exclusion of Deoxys): Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy and Phione, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, Diancie, Hoopa, and Volcanion are not required for Dex completion.

Edit: Magearna and Marshadow are Gen VII's event Pokémon.

Bulbapedia has a page that lists all the pokemon necessary for the Hoenn dex. (I am not ambitious enough for the full national dex.) I want something I can use to track what I need to trade for next, what I don't need any more of, that kind of thing.

The z-stone thing is a different one. It's the opener for "next season"

edit: I kinda lost track on what the difference even is anymore. But the current mega stones one is for sure different.

Must mean the competition after that. I can't find any mention that everyone has to hold Z-Stones on this page: https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/information/65b18aaf-bbe2-47fb-97c5-89034f8bd8d5

Even the stupid ones asking for a legendary get hits, I just got a Groudon for a Dewpider breedject. I've also gotten two Mewtwo's (one for my kid) and Articuno this way. I think I will keep asking for ridiculous legendaries as opposed to the proper use of the GTS for now.

Although you are totally right, this is not an ideal way to use the system.

When Moon came out, I got literally every version exclusive trade, including Legendary and UB, for a Sanshrew. Every single GTS trade I could think of would go within 2 hours for a Sandshrew. I have no idea why. But I would just sit and laugh at seeing people posting about 'breed the Castforms!' and all that, going out of their way to breed rare stuff.
