	Log in to remove this sponsored message As you can tell, I'm new to the trading scene (only recently have I been able to get my game to connect to the Internet) As the post title suggests, how do you determine it? I have every intention of completing my Pokédex in this run, and I'm more than likely going to need to trade to do that (I know I could use Pokégts, but I don't want to) I know that there's a hierarchy to it; legendaries/shines/events -> everything else. ------------------- So, how'd you hurt your back? Running away from good taste?

	From what I can tell, over here it's Events > Flawless > Dream World Females > Random trash they might need > Shinies > What is a Pokémon with good IV's but not Flawless? ------------------- "Are you daft?"

	quote Kanon What is a Pokémon with good IV's but not Flawless? A piece of shit, but if it has 5 stats out of 6 flawless then it's nearly flawless.

	I determine them by level, and type. I sometimes hate trading, as there are lots of trolls, who want a lvl 7 [Insert Legendary Pokemon name here] for a level 50 [Insert bad pokemon here] When their space could be erased and replaced with someone who actually HAS a reasonable offer. Along with other pokemon, like: A level 9 or below Zebstrike... They dont even evolve until level 30 (I cant remember!) and they dont evolve by stones either. So to wrap things up , 80% of trading are mostly trolls wanting VERY low level legendaries for garbage pokemon.

	quote sampunas123 quote Kanon What is a Pokémon with good IV's but not Flawless? A piece of shit, but if it has 5 stats out of 6 flawless then it's nearly flawless. Kanon has, I dunno, a Meinfoo with 21/31/14/2/24/31 and Steve has a Meinfoo with 31 in everything. They're both Jolly and going for a fully offensive fully physical moveset. Competitively, the rather flimsy Meinshao won't be taking any hits anyway. Why is my slightly less durable Meinfoo considered a piece of shit when Steve's is considered highly valuable for having pretty 31's in stats it doesn't give a shit about and will almost never use, and when it does, will have a tiny difference? ------------------- "Are you daft?"

	Kanon Really? The way people want them you'd think IV's were rather superior. ------------------- So, how'd you hurt your back? Running away from good taste?

	They only want god damn Flawless though, something that isn't happening outside of RNG manipulation. I have literally boxes full of totally playable legit bred Pokémon, but no one gives a single bleep about any of them because "Ew, that thing dares to have a stat as low as 20, oh woe is me, how can I live with 11 less HP?" and it's declared worthless right there because people can just RNG(Read: Practically hack) something Flawless and they'll consider that a rare and legit trade worth pooling everything into. When again, the difference is probably like 11 bleeping HP and 6 defense. ------------------- "Are you daft?"

Yes, it doesn't matter that much, but everyone these days uses flawless pokemon so using one without perfect stats would make you inferior and that 11 hp and 6 def could've helped your pokemon to take the hit, but now it's fainted. I'm perfectly fine with EV's especially that it takes less than an hour to fully ev train a pokemon, but I would like IV's removed as it puts legit people down.

	Black Waltz It all depends on what you want and what you're able to provide. Any trade can happen as long as you believe (or look at the right places). ------------------- No Action, Talk Only.

	Geo But this is why I started this thread, I wouldn't know what would be deemed worthy to trade for shinys/legendarys. Unless I find generous people with excess Pokémon, lol. ------------------- So, how'd you hurt your back? Running away from good taste?
