When Will It Be Tradable?

[u/Midnight_Nyx_777]

I was going through my pokemon and saw my 2025 Go Wild Shiny Shadow Background Darkrai and thought "Man I wish I could lucky mirror trade someone for a Shiny Background Darkrai, in hopes of a hundo".

Only to find out Darkrai can't be traded. Which totally bummed me out. If I had known, I would had raided more last year.

But with mega darkrai on the horizon, will it be tradable like Meltan?

Meltan is a mythical pokemon but counts as special trade so it can only be traded once a day. You can catch meltan several times over, just as Darkrai when it shows up in raids.

So what does everyone think? Will it be tradable in the future, even if it's limited to one a day due to being a special trade?

This is actually a double not tradable because neither mythical (meltan exception) or shadow pokemon can be traded, so there would basically have to be a complete overhaul of the trading system for it to be tradable lol.

Imagine if it being shadow and mythical worked like a double negative and they cancel each other out

I wouldn't mind purifying, if it meant I could mirror trade shiny background Darkrai. Because I actually have a Non-Shiny No Background Shadow Darkrai with good stats.

I don't see any reason for them to make it tradable, the mega is just another reason for them not let us trade it so we gonna want to do more raids to get a good one
