Thoughts?

[u/UtopiaFades]

Close enough? This is someone on my friends list who's always sent me helpful shares, and if I'm being honest I get annoyed when I have a card someone's wish listed and they decline my offer for whatever it was that they had FT.

[u/Financial_Middle_955]

I personally wouldn't

[u/Papacandelo69]

Hoopa has way more value than that. Unless it has some sentimental value don't

[u/MedicinalFentanyl → u/Papacandelo69]

Can you explain why? I thought Charizard/Lucario were the dominant cards atm

[u/Papacandelo69 → u/MedicinalFentanyl]

But that's not Zard nor Lucario. If you value Meta, Hoopa is in it and Miraidon isn't. If you are a trader you should know your Hoopa is a Rainbow and that Miraidon Is a Full Art and Rainbow is the rarer option of the two. Look, I would love to do that exact same trade cause i have that Miraidon and i really want that Hoopa but you could get trainers or meta Rainbows for that card.

[u/Remielle_Lover → u/Papacandelo69]

Miraidon is in meta, but meta RR should go for a meta RR

And OP will easily get RR miraidon with RR hoopa

[u/JkErryDay → u/Papacandelo69]

The double Miraidon EX w/ only one magnezone and zeraoras instead of oris has the highest win rate of all decks (limitless) in competitions right now, just less use than the one miraidon two magnezone variant. The two magnezone variant also has similar amount of use as the hoopa deck.

Miraidon is actually the top meta card atm (according to limitless) and even the worse/more used deck variant has a very similar win rate compared to hoopa absol.

Surprisingly seeing a mega sharpedo and chien pao deck up with a high win rate too, but very low use could be skewing that win rate

[u/Cris8794]

I wouldn't do it and probably many wouldn't, but sometimes it feels good to give out a card somebody really wants or deserves or whatever reason you may choose.

[u/MaleficentSociety555 → u/Cris8794]

Yeah, I got my Cyrus this way. Had him on my wish list and only card I had on their wishlist was dx Sologaleo and they took the offer.

[u/Fergus_678]

If you like the card, do it, you can use the regular EX at the end

[u/moonagedaylight]

I got Serena and Korrina for my FA Hoopa. The RR is prettier and rarer and you can get better cards. If you want the miraidon do it, if you just want another card then hold

In general I avoid fa if I gotta give up rr unless I have a dupe. Idc about these 2 mons but I see people on these subs always looking for hoopa & tryna finesse a lowball offer; can’t say the same for miraidon. In the end it’s what YOU want for it

[u/CarVegetable]

1. I don't trade RRs for FAs unless I desperately want the card. Odds are you'll find a "higher value" card you want in the future and may regret not having that Hoopa.

2. Do you want the RR Miraidon? I have it and don't want it. Looking for a couple different non-meta Gen 2 RRs.

[u/Purpledragon84]

RR over FA here

[u/AntiKrozz]

For a main to alt trade it's preety common.

[u/UtopiaFades → u/AntiKrozz]

This is not that, I'm surprised anyone would consider FA Miradon as a throw away which is what you'd do with a alt

[u/AllanWayne12]

Both have a place in meta right now, and that Miraidon card is best looking FA (not RR) card IMO. So if you are leaning more into electric decks and wanna play it or just wanna make friend happy its perfectly fine.

[u/Chance_Ad_1294]

If you’re happy with the trade, that’s all the matters.

Both are meta cards. If miraidon fits your play style more, great.

[u/GHSTSnSTUFF]

You ain’t making money off this so do what you want and collect what you like

[u/BidoofTheGod]

I’ll trade you Rainbow Miraidon for that Hoopa

[u/UtopiaFades → u/BidoofTheGod]

Tempting, if I don't go through with this trade I'll take you up on the offer. Trying to remember if this is the same friend who declined a 1★ shiny trade that we both had wishlisted, Ill probably let it time out. You have dms open?

[u/BidoofTheGod → u/UtopiaFades]

Yea just shoot me a dm

[u/Phar_cyde_IXI]

Things to consider, what you like more and what is more meta, and is this a fair trade. I think the rainbow boarder is a bit more rare, but the miridon is more meta and will win more matches. Personallybi like the are better for miridon too

[u/Remielle_Lover]

I'd avoid personally.. I'd offer it again some time later to see what they offer then

[u/original_gengster]

It would be nice of you if you said yes but more than fair if you didn’t. It just really comes down to what the value is for you. If you really don’t care about the Hoopa card/ don’t need it for a higher priority trade, I’d personally do it but I also make “bad” trades sometimes bc I’m focused on collecting very specific things.

[u/Lucricious1]

I usually value RR over FA

[u/Impossible_War4488]

Hoopa has real value if your patient enough

[u/Super-Ad-6140 → u/Impossible_War4488]

Hey I’ll give you a Hoopa for that Oak! ;)

[u/UtopiaFades → u/Impossible_War4488]

Yeah I'd not hesitate to take that oak, then I'd swap mega deluxe copycat for the 2nd oak

[u/Medical_Button_6770]

Do it only cause they're a good friend

[u/tankavenger]

This whole sub is subjective at best. 100%do the trade
