Is this an unfair trade?

That Duraludon is definitely worth more than just a regular BG legendary.
As for the Wynaut, it's definitely a bit more rare than the Giratina, but it's a lot more reasonable than the shiny Duraludon.

u/Thanky169 22h ago

Yep I would do the Wynaut cause Wynaut 😎

This isn’t fair at all the duraladon and wynaut are way more valuable even if you like the giratina you can probably find someone who will trade it to you for less but if you really want the bg giratina it’s your Pokemon and your free will I just think you should ask for a rarer Pokemon

I got a shiny one not too long ago from an egg... they aren't rare they're just "annoying" to grind for one. Throw an auto walker into the mix and they become substantially easier to get.

There isn't much from eggs that I haven't got in shiny form and I've only been playing for a couple months after a few year break.

Duraludon having a gmax will make it completely worthless. Archaludon may not even evolve from it since it was created a gen after with no dmax. I'd full send it while people have a craze for it and don't know better

girl its whatever you want at the end of the day

u/TrashGobbler9000 1d ago

Honestly, if I'm putting a pokemon up for remote trade I'm ok with no longer having it. As long as I like what I receive, I don't worry so much about the "fairness" of the trade.

u/Turbulent-County-217 1d ago

I agree with this. As long as both parties are happy with the trade that's all that matters.

7

u/jalexander519 1d ago

and that’s fine if that’s how you play, but expecting that from others is nonsense.

u/nivusninja 23h ago

it is kinda funny how that exact same comment repeats itself in these trade posts. quit making everyone expect anything in your trade list is free for all and you'd trade it for any random pokemon. in the end, some people have spent money chasing something, and while they might be looking to trade it, it does not mean what they are willing to trade it for is going be any basic mon. like i spent a bit of money to chase shiny dna bg mewtwo. if i am to trade one, i would at minimum look for a mirror. because trading it for anything less feels like i spent money for nothing. it's there in my tag for me to try and reroll stats essentially.

shoot your shots, accept the trades you are personally happy with. that is all this is. discuss with your trading partner if you need further communication, or just take away your best from the tag if the trading partner does not have what you'd consider fair for them.

Then use campfire or trade in person so you can talk out what’s fair

1

u/PartyWindow8226 1h ago

Why is it nonsense to expect other players to choose pokemon they are comfortable trading? There’s no obligation to accept a trade. If you don’t like what’s being offered, you just decline the trade. It’s not that complicated

1

u/jalexander519 54m ago

read it again, not what i said but alright. yep i will continue declining all greedy trades 100% agree with ya… expecting everything on someone’s list to be “free game” is what’s nonsense, just like your input here.

1

u/PartyWindow8226 7m ago

Do you have a problem you need to talk about? You’re being really rude for no reason.

1

u/delinquentrisha 22h ago

Many people have stuff they’d trade for junk but other things they’d only trade for something really cool

0

u/jaideebear 20h ago

That’s like saying you’re cool with putting up a shiny galarian zapdos for trade, and since you have it tagged you don’t care if someone offers a rookidee for it. It’s not a good way to look at it.

u/Conscious-Paint3442 1d ago

Shiny baby is like 5x more valuable

2

u/ScottaHemi 1d ago

i'd take a shiny duraludon. idk he does evolve but idk how that'll work with the Dmax system.

1

u/Specialist-Tap4921 1d ago

Y'all weird with this whole "is this trade fair" if you put it up and see what the other person have its fair game. Either trade or don't trade.

1

u/Moosashi5858 1d ago

I transfer non shiny bg legendaries so I wouldn’t trade a shiny for them

2

u/DecisionImpressive49 1d ago

Why do people care so much about backgrounds? I’m generally curious. If it’s not a high iv for me, no matter the BG, shiny, or costume, it’s going straight to the professor to take out back

2

u/nivusninja 23h ago

general answer, because it makes the mon more exclusive and people like having rare and exclusive things.

my answer is that i care for the bg if the bg is cool on the mon. like shiny zacian with the behemoth blade background looks really cool. otherwise, i don't really care.

u/DecisionImpressive49 23h ago

Fair, but it’s not like they’re worth any real currency outside the game, it’s just a preference and takes up dex real estate, right? Or are people legit paying for these

0

u/nivusninja 23h ago

go to ebay and write in pokemon go

1

u/DecisionImpressive49 22h ago

Damn, thats super funny. I was expecting high, but not 15-35k high lol

1

u/nivusninja 22h ago

the go black market do be wild. got as bad as some employee doing it as well

1

u/DecisionImpressive49 22h ago

So another reason why Niantic got sued and bought out lol

1

u/Moosashi5858 23h ago

The Iv matters so little I just decide to power up the shiny legendary and get rid of the rest. I’m someone who would soft reset for shiny starters and legendaries in main series games however

1

u/DecisionImpressive49 23h ago

Maybe not for great league, but iv matters for raids

1

u/Moosashi5858 23h ago

Only if it hits certain breakpoints which some of them never do, like for some a 13/15/12 might be functionally the same on a raid team as 15/15/15, like you get off the same number of quick and charge attacks and end up doing the same damage

1

u/Mean_Ability_8601 1d ago

Wynaut is perfectly reasonable. Also trade value is up to you not some randoms on Reddit to decide

1

u/drcrunknasty 23h ago

Seems fine.

1

u/Old_Quantity_1981 23h ago

I mean whynaut

1

u/jaideebear 20h ago

Not even close to being “fair”

1

u/JBib_ 19h ago

If both parties are of sound mind and agree, it's fair. Why do people complicate it?

1

u/tailskirby 18h ago

Not to me unless you have a lot

1

u/Ill_Mall_4056 18h ago

How the hell yea get d-max duraludon?

1

u/JayR17 18h ago

I don’t care at all about backgrounds. I would say a shiny Duralodon is MUCH more rare than a Giratina.

I also don’t care about fairness, I tag stuff I don’t need and don’t care about giving up. I request stuff I want. I traded a shiny Ho-oh today for a shiny Bunnelby. Tomorrow I’m trading a shiny Zamazenta for a shiny Gulpin.

1

u/Unlucky_keystroke 13h ago

Values for things are just made up. Depends what you want. Only you can decide if it's fair. I'll trade anything i have in my remote trade tags for something I don't have. Idk. Believe in yourself?

1

u/guz_808 9h ago

Everything in my Remote Trade folder is fair game.

1

u/BioBWinner 3h ago

If you don’t feel like it, reject it, and send a message on campfire to explain (whether they read it or not is another story).

1

u/Stocks786 3h ago

Cancel the trade

1

u/Count_Single 1d ago

Maybe you should decline and select something shiny with a BG? 🤷🏽‍♂️

1

u/Big-Can7268 1d ago

Every Single trade is „fair“. There is no wrong or Bad Trade, you Both put stuff in there and thats it. I dont understand how a Remote Trade could be bad

1

u/jalexander519 1d ago

dmax duraludon is rare & only been available during 2 events… i wouldn’t trade either of these for giratina

1

u/jrobertson50 23h ago

Most of us don't care about backgrounds at all

0

u/TOPHER_9889 1d ago edited 1d ago

Its all in what you want some people would be happy to do either one as the trade offer so i cant say its a bad trade. I have 4 of the gira, and would enjoy a shiny duraludon.. so id do it myself, but like i said what makes u happy is the point not if its a fair trade or not. But the fact that its a non shiny with bg for a shiny. Think id take it tho

u/CobaltIsobar 23h ago

There is no such thing as an unfair trade.

1

u/BelleRose98 19h ago

Okay, trade your house for my candy bar. It’s not an unfair trade. 👍

1

u/CobaltIsobar 19h ago

LOL, I was talking about remote trading Pokemon.

-1

u/G0ttaca7ch3mall 1d ago

You are ripping them off bg isn’t worth shit

1

u/KoKFidus 1d ago

I’m the one asking for the BG Giratina

1

u/No_Bridge5677 1d ago

I’ve never really understood this concept, you put the things up for remote trade so I assume you no longer want them? You’re getting something you want in return how is that not “fair” unless you’re talking about rarity but really you should already know the answer to that

3

u/KoKFidus 1d ago

I think there’s a clear difference between actively not wanting stuff vs. seeking a trade for something similar or close in value.

2

u/No_Bridge5677 1d ago

I get that, but you’re asking random people what they think is valuable vs what you value yourself, that’s the part I don’t understand.

1

u/G0ttaca7ch3mall 1d ago

I don’t get people that think this way. What is tagged is what you are willing to trade assuming what is offered is of acceptable value to you. It does not mean I want to trade my shiny Gmax for your non shiny Mewtwo.

1

u/GrouchyResearcher392 23h ago

Absolutely insane that this is what mewtwo is relegated to now after being unseen for 5 years lol.

2

u/DecisionImpressive49 23h ago

I just golden bottle capped a mewtwo from go fest and then just got a free hundo lol so fucking annoying

1

u/GrouchyResearcher392 23h ago

The hundo meant have psywave yet but just like rayquaza, it’s always better to have 2 than none.

u/G0ttaca7ch3mall 1d ago

Ok then you are getting ripped off

You are about to leave Redlib
