I've searched the GTS a few times and I've never even seen a lovely trade on offer. I guess I'll try depositing something and see what happens although I'm not thrilled about getting a hacked one

I'm still kicking myself for missing the 20 anniversary events. There's a lot of event pokemon I don't care that I missed but I wanted a mew.

I don't have any hacked ones. What are you willing to offer? And hell if you don't have anything I want I'll give you a shiny for free. Hows that?

I have a shiny Crustle and a shiny fire snail (idk its actual name) and all the legendaries you get from UM (none shiny). I just started playing again when US/UM came out for the first time since Yellow so I ain't got much of poo poo :(

I'm figuring out breeding myself. I bred myself a shiny alolan vulpix and mawile and mimikyu in Moon, and I used the mawile and mimikyu in Ultra Sun. Not sure what I'm going to do next.

Use pokemon from games with different native languages (So one Japanese one english etc) and have a Shiny Charm.

Tell ya what. I've thought it over a bit and I'll give you one of my Mews. I have two. It's a legit event one so you won't lose it in transfer. The other I'd say is my favorite since I've had it all the way back to Gen 3. And I'll throw in a shiny while I'm at it. Pick one out from the previous page. My contact info is there as well. Please give me your FC and have some throwaway pokemon ready for trade okay? I'll let you know when I'm available. Merry christmas ;)

Yeah I stretch it out. Like, fill up two boxes with eggs, hatch them, then that's my effort for the day. Hilariously I got a shiny Wooper like 9 eggs in but because I was filling up the boxes it was an hour or so before I realized it.

Do you think I could get a hacked poipole to fill up the pokedex and then release if I offer a Stakataka? I kinda wanna see if the shiny charm helps me get this legit shiny poipole.

Also make use of the hot springs at poke pelago to crunch your numbers a bit.

Yeah! That's slow but good if you want to take a break for a few days.

The thing I like about shiny breeding and, to be honest, even soft-resetting something like Poipole, is that I can take breaks. I've been trying to get a shiny Poipole for over a week now I think, but not all at once. It's boring but bearable.

EDIT: Upside is it doesn't look hacked. Not a bad trade.

To be fair, having the shiny charm in USUM is good because of Rotom hatch. You can basically skip the "Create box of eggs, then hatch" by using rotom hatch and a flame body pokemon in the lead.

Yup! It's still good to have and I'm glad to have it.

I can tell it wasn't a hacked poipole because the nature was terrible and the IVs were super low other than the 3 perfect ones, haha. I like it better this way.

Does the Hyperbolic Tauros Chamber right outside of the daycare still work? Haven't got there yet cause I'm busy S.O.S battling EVERYTHING, but maybe I'll just hatch me some shinies.

Try the GTS. Not searching for Mew, you'll find the shittiest trades, send a rare Pokemon yourself, you'll get a hacked Mew.

I don't think that they even allow trades for Mythical Pokémon on the GTS. I have never even seen a listing asking for one -- I think they hide any that are made.

They ban a lot of stuff from the GTS and Wonder Trade. Event Pokémon can't be deposited, and neither can ones from Colosseum or XD. :confused: (I caught that Entei fair and square 13 years ago, why can't I trade it if I want to?!)

SM's Tauros method is fast, yeah, but I personally prefer the older gens.
Specifically because Tauros method requires you to hold B AND constantly spin the stick. Means I can't browse tumblr or whatever while grinding for shinies, because both my hands are already occupied.

I also feel like screen transitions are more burdensome around the Paniola ranch than they were near the X and Y daycare. But like, it's been more than three years since I played Y and I might be wrong.

I have vague recollections of people breeding eevees in x and y for Christmas. But I guess that's not as big of a deal in USUM.

I'm tempted to do Riolu myself.
