the Water Club is quite clearly in the lead!
I wasn't expecting Ice to win, but dang are we low on Ice types back xD
What shattered my soul though was one particular trade I made. The shiny noibat I put on wonder trade was traded to a notorious hacker! I'm sad about this because one of the reasons I traded shinies was that I wanted to gift Pokemon that I could rest assured would be appreciated by whoever the receiver was, due to their rarity.
In the irony of all ironies noibat went to the one person online who wouldn't appreciate it, becauase they hack in fake shinies all the time, that are stronger than the real one I gave. They might even release it because it didn't have 6 max IVs and all the egg moves they wanted, or they'll modify the Pokemon to make it just like their others :( I got one of their fake shinies in exchange for the real deal, but would have truly preferred to receive a regular Magikarp in this instance. /Cries
Yeah the hackers and websites are a nuisance in Wonder/Surprise trade =(
When I was sending off my Suicune and the three Tapu's all I could do was cross my fingers and hope they'd end up with a normal trainer and not one of them instead. Luckily they did.
I was honestly expecting Dragon to fare better. Personally I thought Dragon & Water would probably have the best chances of winning. Water simply because of how many Water mons there are, and Dragon because last time I Surprise Traded there were Dragons everywhere xD
But I guess the fish in the Wonder/Surprise Trade pond changed from time to time.
Been wondering if I would've gotten better results if I had traded a different day or time myself. Still would be RNG though.
Reporting in that I've done the Ice type challenge!
Here's the thing though, I'm trading away the obvious hacks. So it shouldn't take much longer but I want to trade in good faith, I hope that's acceptable. It's no fun when once again I get the same five hacked, shiny, GMAX Pokémon I got in the Fairy trade challenge.
Well you could take an After screenshot and then trade away the hacks.
If you want to trade them away before I guess it would be acceptable as long as you don't keep going till you get the same type mon as you sent away, but just accept the first non -obviously-hacked Pokemon.
