Topic: Legendary Pokemon Trades Please

[Pale]

Hey all.  I've got the three legendary birds (Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos) ready for trade.  They were obtained by myself legitimately (from either XD or LeafGreen, I don't remember) and are all level 50.

I'm looking for other legendaries that I don't have yet.  Those are...

Entei
Suicune
Ho-Oh
Celebi
Groudon
Deoxys
Dialga
Darkrai
Shaymin
Arceus

I only take non-hacked pokemon, so please tell me the story of how you obtained it before trading.  Help me catch 'em all!

[that Baby guy]

I have several Dialga, all from the GTS.  I could trade one to you, if you like.  Of course, that would require me being around when you are, so we'll have to figure something out.

I can tell that one or two of them have been hacked, because they have the wrong information, but another couple look legitimate stat-wise, level-wise, and where they were caught, so I definitely would be trading you one of the ones that look real, though, because it is the GTS, there's no certain way of knowing for sure.

Hooray Lickitungs!

[Pale]

Part of me wants to get a pokemon with the trader as the original trainer...  I'd just like to spread my guys out among as many people that i 'know' (in quotes cause it's on a forum) as possible.

[that Baby guy]

Well, I've got seven of them, apparently all from trading, and as far as I can tell, several of them are of legitimate background.  I've only actually caught one legendary so far, myself, but I accidentally lost him on the GTS for a Dialga.  Fun stuff.  Anyways, I'm probably logging off for the day, so take your time considering it, you've got all today and some of tomorrow before I'll even be back online.

If any one else is interested, keep in mind I have a few Manaphy, extra Mesprit, Uxie, and Azelf, and also a spare Cresselia, too.

[Pale]

Alright tg, what are the stats on the one you'd be willing to trade me?  Level? OT? Caught location?  All the stats (like HP, Attack, Defense, etc?)  

[that Baby guy]

You know what, I may have stumbled upon another Groudon, though it too came from a trade.  Want it?  

[Pale]

Oh, hell yes, as long as it looks legit.  I'll check it out when we trade tonight.

[Pale]

New list of what I need!

Entei
Suicune
Ho-Oh
Celebi
Deoxys
Darkrai
Shaymin
Arceus

I have an Articuno to trade!

[that Baby guy]

I've come across Deoxys and two of the dogs, but I can't remember which two.  I think we can work something out to trade them, but it depends on what you're willing to accept.

[Pale]

Deoxys is an event guy, so it could very likely be hacked.  If you can hook me up with the OT and catching location, that may help me figure it out.

Also, dogs are most likely legit, as they were all obtainable in Colosseum... so I'd be interested possibly...

I'm running out of stuff to trade though

[that Baby guy]

I'll have to add to my list.  Tangela would be nice, if you can breed me one.  The dogs are Entei and Suicune, so that covers those two.

The Deoxys is level 49, comes from Kanto, and "BLAZE" is the OT.  I'm certain he used in Kanto, though, as it came on level 49, and it already has a tiny bit of experience for a level-up.

Things I'd like would be: Jynx, Tangela, Kangaskhan, Duskull, Gligar, or Rhyhorn.

[Pale]

Well if you get the Nintendo event in Kanto, it starts at 30.  Though that event was likely gamesharked and then he was likely cloned, he most likely isn't hacked, so I'm game.

So for those 3 legendaries you want Articuno, Tangela, and Kangaskhan?  I can do that.

Just out of curiosity though, what level are the dogs and where did they originate?

[that Baby guy]

The Entei is level 79 and the Suicune is level 50.  They both also came from Kanto.

However, I don't need an Articuno, I already have one, so if you have something else on my list, I'd like that instead.

[Pale]

I should be able to get three of the ones on your list.  Will you be around latish tomorrow?  say like 9:30pm eastern?

[TJ Spyke]

Any Arceus or Shaymin's you get will only be semi-legit at best. Neither of these have been given away by Nintendo yet (Darkrai was recently given away in Japan as part of the promo for the 10th Pokemon movie). The only way anybody can have one is either by hacking with an Action Replay, or from one of the very early Japanese copies (early Japanese copies had a glitch to let you face the 3 promo Pokemon. Later Japanese copies and North American copies don't have this glitch). So, they will be semi-legit at best.

Geez, I just took a look at the GameFAQs trading board. About 95% of the trade offers and trade request are for hacked Pokemon. Some outright admit it (saying stuff like "need help from a hacker") while others are obvious (the guys having like 15 shiny legendaries).

[that Baby guy]

Well, remember that cloning glitches have been found for every generation, including this one, so now, several things could be "semi-legit."  If one person finds a shiny anything, unlimited copies become available for everyone.

Heck, I could go as far as to say I have four cloned shiny Charmander right now.  I think they weren't hacked, but I know they were all cloned.

[Caliban]

I'm hoping that someone might not want to go with the hassle of catching Uxie, Azelf, or Mesprit, and perhaps have some other legendaries to trade with me.

I consider cloned Pokemon to be legit. Shiny legendaries in general should be considered suspicious. The odds of getting any shiny Pokemon are low (about 8000:1), the odds of finding a shiny legendary (much less multiple ones) is even lower.

[that Baby guy]

Me too, but some people don't.  Also, I conveniently have several new shiny Pokemon.

Edit:  Looks like one of those Charmander I was looking for earlier actually was able to land me a Darkrai.  Not only that, but this one was caught at the proper level, location, and has the right moves, so it looks as legit as possible for something that is impossible to get:  Level 40, caught at Newmoon Island.

Do I need to expand my list?

[TJ Spyke]

Wish I could help you. The only legendary I have an extra of is Kyogre.

As for Darkrai. Have you checked Serebii? These are what a legit Darkrai should have (assuming the person got it the only official way, and not hacking or through the glitch early Pokemon games had):
Lv. 50 (at least, the person could have leveled it up before trading)
OT: Eigakan
ID: 07147
Is in a Cherish Ball (Cherish Ball is a special Pokeball that only contains a promo event Pokemon and is not available in the game)
Came with a Enigma Berry (unless the person took it before tading)
Comes with a Classic Ribbon
Has "Roar of Time" and "Spacial Rand" as moves.

[that Baby guy]

Yeah, I know.  This one looks like someone hacked the in-game event to get him, and didn't get the promo-movie one.

Edit:  Obtained Ho-oh now, too.

[Pale]

Hey tg, I just started putting together some guys to trade you...

So you have Suicune, Entei, Deoxys, Darkrai, and Ho-oh?  So that's 5?  Let me know if you're game.

[that Baby guy]

Yep.  I'll be ready to trade in perhaps ten or fifteen minutes, too.  If you can, head to the chat room, and we'll figure it all out.

[Pale]

Give me a bit, i'm still breeding...  I'll show up in there though.

[Pale]

Bumping for great justice.  I am dangerously close to catching them all.

I still need...

Ho-oh
Celebi
Shaymin
Arceus
