I just got a 3DS and Moon for Christmas, and I've never used the GTS in a Pokémon game before. Can I trust someone in the GTS to trade my Alakazam back to me?
lol no
wi-fi gen might be up your alley

Okay, thank you. I have to update my DS first apparently lol
>>31050980
Definitely not. There isn't even a reasonable way to contact them to trade back. Just find someone here on /vp/ willing to help. Your odds of getting your Pokémon back will be a lot higher than on GTS.

Okay, glad I thought to ask first. I'll try the WiFi thread, thanks guys.

To be clear, GTS is great if you don't care about getting that specific Pokémon back. Like, if you just want an Alakazam to fill your dex, it's totally fine to put up a Kadabra and ask for one back in return. GTS does have some good uses, but any situation where you want your Pokémon back isn't one of them.
(Also, since you're new, a key feature of GTS that some people miss: scroll to the bottom of the alphabet list, and there will be an option to enter the name of a Pokémon that you haven't seen yet, so GTS isn't just restricted to what's already in your dex.)

You can also use the qr scanner to put Pokemon in your Dex but gamefreak limits it to 10 scans a day

Nice, I'll have to find me a Passimian on there lol. Way better than Oranguru imo.
And why didn't they give Oricorio any STAB TM's to at least make it viable? Most awesome Flying-type Pokémon ever designed and they made it into a useless gimmicky Baton-Passer.

Oranguru us better. Passimian us pretty lame. If he wasn't HA locked then he could be good but his ability is pretty lame
So you want your Kabara evolved and then traded back to you? You should find somebody, swap friend codes and have them trade a pokemon they want that also evolves by trade so that you have something over them so they won't screw you. For some reason Politoad is really popular in scene right now, you can get damn near anything for one even Nebby

I've spent like >8 hours trying to get Politoed in Malie Garden, it's awful. Awful! And I still fail.

Only go Politoad hunting during rain storms make sure you use a pokemon with compound eyes and thief so you can steal their King's rocks. You won't get slowking with just the one just like using a souped up butterfree at the school grounds can net you a higher chance and less frustration at getting metal coat, something you need for those Siczor trades. Honestly, Jan's coming soon and with it, Trading will be pure bullshit since everyone will expect several pokemon you likely won't have

>Only go Politoad hunting during rain storms
I wanted to ask when would that be but turns out it's just outside my regular playing time (>8PM generally) and only for an hour
