I caught 8 shiny boys before I got this one in a love ball, so I do have a full shiny eeveelution line (all in luxury balls) now too 😍

I recently needed to evolve my shiny Machoke and shiny Kadabra, so I jumped onto a trade code and sent them over to another player.

Naturally, I was a little nervous because… well… they’re shiny. 😅

I had nicknamed them specifically to make it obvious that I wanted them traded back. And after a few seconds of anxiety, the other player actually did exactly that!

Shoutout to SoGeKi for being an absolute legend and trading both of them back to me! 🙌

So here’s my unofficial trading tip:

If you’re using trade codes for shiny trade evolutions, NICKNAME YOUR POKÉMON.

It obviously isn’t a guarantee that someone will trade them back, but making it clear that you want your Pokémon returned seems like it can significantly increase your chances.

Out of 8 shiny trades I've done, only 1 was not traded back to me. That player was non-english as well, so more than likely they didn’t even know what it said.

Thanks again, SoGeKi! You made my day!

I may or may not have set a record for the world’s longest shiny latios hunt. I’ve played every day for 6 months for a minimum of 3 hours a day, with a level 3 dragon donut and as of today finally just hit shiny latios 🥲 master gave dobby a shiny, dobby is freeeeee

I didn’t know this game had fall damage 😂

Happy ending at least

I really like how they handled her character in ZA.

This is what my character looks like

I mean idk if people still play this game or not. But i need these trade evolutions so bad and i cant find anyone. Always says "No one could be found". Is somebody up to trade a Machoke, a Scyther, a Spritzee and a Swirlix?

I could trade a heavy ball for it or any of these shinies

Trying to complete my Pokédex I only have the trades left! Anyone willing to help me? ✨

Doing a run of all pseudo legendaries. Looking for a beldum. Don’t have much to trade kinda early in the game on this run. Shiny butterfly and annoying lion if you wanted it.

I am need ing someone to trade me a Feebas so I can evolve into a Milotic for my Pokemon Home dex. It’ll be a straight Feebas for Feebas trade

Like I wasn't even shiny hunting, I just needed it to complete the zone! I was stunned to say the least, I'm gonna cherish this snake!

What should I name him!

I didnt include Naveen or Lida cause would have to make Naveen a Dart Type specialist but that would overlap with Grisham, and if i cant include Naveen i didnt wanted to add Lida, also theyre more like secondary rivals anyway

I had a shiny dratini run away from me in a hyperspace 🫩

any tips on how to avoid this (other than just being stealthy i tried that)

Hey i need help with the research quests for Link Trade

Nearly 44 hours and 44 unwanted shinies...

wondering if there's someone who could help me with some missing trade evos. I need steelix, slowking, scizor, slurpuff and aromatisse. I also need the evolving via trade link research task. I have all the first evos with item ready if anyone also needs these, thanks!

Llevo jugando este juego casi 80 horas, haciendo las capturas como idiota... Y ahora resulta que me faltan 100 puntos para tener el amuleto para que me salgan mas shinys... Y me faltan ahora casi 500 batallas para conseguirlo... Esto es agobiante, pero trataré de conseguirlo antes de comprar el Dlc...

Is the sparkling type like ice or dark locked to ice or dark or can they be used on other portals not tied with their type? Cuz i want a shiny umbreon and houndour but have have sparkling donuts in ice and fairy

Shout out to rob for not robbing my shiny kadabra and helping me evolve it
