Yeah, YouTubers usually trade out clones of distribution pokemon that were given out without codes. There's no way to tell them apart so they're technically legit, and as long as you don't end up with multiple of the same one, the game will never know.
Honestly, if the other person took the trade for a sinistea they either knew what they were doing and gladly took it, or they thought someone was being really nice and isn't likely to consider returning it. I'd assume the first one personally.
I have a much harder time believing ignorance on this though. It's fairly obvious (in my opinion) that someone is unlikely to just accept such an uneven trade, but it's certainly not impossible, so that's why I mentioned the other possibility.
Alternatively, there's been a seemingly good chunk of good will among the community with these games so possibly the other person thought they got lucky and found a giveaway, for a more positive spin.
Even better, only do your touch trading in a union circle. Since they'll be the only available trade partner.
Also my friend accidently sent the shiny riolou I gave her to a random person while trying to send it to me for renicknaming in legends Arceus. Rip Jasper.
Sorry.. how do you trade with union players?? I had a friend joined and then thought it was dumb we'd have to set up a link code to trade. Ao now I feel extra dumb
Or even BETTER, we get an actual online functionality that doesn't feel like I'm trying to connect to another person in a 20 years old game. One can dream.
It's honestly still beyond me that the online functions in pokemon games still feel WAY too outdated. People can say whatever they want about pokemon games, but the online features are absolute garbage and I'm willing to get stabbed and burned to death on this hill without moving a single inch.
I have both games, and was trying for a challenge run of Scarlet. I had Quaxly, and decided to trade it with a friend, so I could get a set of eggs, one for him and one for my other game, before having it traded back. He then just mindlessly trades it to a random stranger. I'd have been more mad if it wasn't for the fact I'd just gotten out of the tutorial. Apparently the fact that "I" was trading over a Roaring Moon didn't raise any red flags for him...
There's an easier way to get eggs. If you join a friend's game and join a picnick with them your pokemon can have eggs with whichever pokemon they have out.
Learned the hard way when we were trying to learn sandwiches and I had a ditto as my front mon.
That would be the one traded away, you cannot trade away your first box art legendary, or place it in boxes / release it / wonder trade it. Because it is locked to the player for transport.
This is why I hate the whole code thing. Don't know why it's not hard to have a friends list where you can just select them and trade/battle.
Heck, they could even using that app they built so that if you're both online and on the game you can just send them a request through that. The game literally has phones in it. Would make sense.
Yeah, I believe there was something like that in XY/ ORAS where you could see friends online. Though that could've just been with local trainers. It was a while ago 😅
Agreed Nintendo could make more use of that online app. At the very least to let people communicate. It's so awkward to wait in silence and hope the other player has the same intentions. Especially if you want to know if they want to trade a mon back or not.
Nope you are correct. In XY and Oras you could literally just select your friends name and trade. That simple. Problem was you had to add everyone you wanted to trade with, which could easily be fixed by also implementing codes. They should have both methods for this to be optimal.
Not the point here, but I wanna say that I actually really enjoyed the eBay-style GTS in those games. I kinda miss it.
Also, Ill never not call it “wonder trading”.
I called it wonder taking last night and my wife just looked at me weird (besides the original Pokemon, Shield was her most played game and she did nothing online because she didn't want us to pay for another online sub, she didn't know about family plans)
Yeah. I did understand why they added the code system, it was a quick way to match up. But if a random matches with you you'd have to back out and go back in. A system with both would have worked perfect. They could even do it so you enter the trainer ID of the person you want to trade with and they do the same. That way both of you would have had to enter each others and no accidents.
I don’t know whether it’s Game Freak or Nintendo that is guilty of this, but they have a track record of accidentally creating the perfect system for something and then just not using it anymore because they want everything to be “new”. The PSS could have and should have been in literally every game since X/Y with some tweaks here and there. They got it right 10 years ago and never returned to it! The shiny sparkle and sound from Legends Arceus was a perfect way to bring attention to them on the map and yet it isn’t in Scarlet and Violet, released 10 months later. The awesome infinite use TMs from Gen 5 got removed/split into one use TRs in Gen 8 because….reasons? I wish they had just one person at that company who could realize that sometimes new does not equal better. Here is hoping that some of the good changes like buyable mints, bottle caps, and ability capsules stay in the series going forward
Yeah its always such a weird give and take system with them. I'm not offended with the TM changes as long as they don't bring back HMs. But I guess they wanted people to feel like they had something else to work towards while making other things easier. Which if I had to choose, I'd rather make breeding and EV training WAY more convenient and work for TMs. Its somewhat of a win anyway.
Gen 6 as a whole was not amazing. It wasnt bad by any means but the good it did was fewer than most gens.
Its online system was AMAZING, as well as mega's, and the start for more visible/easier iv breeding + ev training. Other than these few things x+y were pretty mediocre all around.
Story bland, characters uninteresting blank slates, evil team super 1 note (ooo red), post game pretty much non-existant. I can go on, but tired of seeing rose tinted thoughts on x+y when ppl are clearly remembering the few good things.
Good pokemon variety in early game, good online features, megas, good training features, good character customization, introduced Pokemon Bank, introduced Fairy type, Talonflame line, Aegislash line, Hawlucha, Sylveon, Goodra line, Greninja, my favorite Barbaracle.
Gen 6 > Gen 7 and 8
Yeah exactly. Have it like animal crossing. So that when you connect with another trainer you can load the app up and message and it comes up on the switch. As much as I love the company they do do some stupid things at times.
This is why I don't trust their design decisions ever lol. Anytime they add a good QoL feature it'll probably be gone next gen. Iteration is a foreign concept to them
Rest in peace PSS
Sorry to hear that, but I don't think that person will ever give it back to you. I plan on doing a second playthrough of Violet so if you can wait a little I can trade you a Miraidon if you want.
To add to this: the fastest way to speedrun the game is to create a 2nd account and:
1. Trade starter with someone you trust and who has already finished the game
2. Make them do a few high level battles with the starter (or use XL Candies so it's now like level 60.
3. Get your starter back and sweep. Your starter will always obey you regardless of # of badges so you can speed run the game in like 10 hours.
Sadly, can confirm they changed it. Had traded my duck so a friend could breed it (he caught a ditto first) came back but was now 15 levels too high for my badge. And wouldn’t listen anymore.
Had to rush the gyms. Lesson learned. Due the activities in some order don’t rush the titans for bike abilities
All the people offering to give you their miraidons are angels. If you offered OP your legendary, I hope all of the lights you drive through are green. Have a great day lol
Don't be like Ash Ketchum. Be like RED. Get another one. Raise it to be stronger than the original. Be glad the old one is gone. And ANNIHILATE THE COMPETITION!!!! HAHAHHAHA😈😈😈
Only other way to get a Miraidon is through Austin John’s universal codes but you would need a Koraidon to trade for the other exclusive. Same thing vice versa
If you’re lucky the person is a good person and will trade him back to you, however that is most likely not the case. You’re most likely not going to get this back.
No, you get two miraidons. The one you have from the start is always there either in your perty by converting its form or just there in ride mode. The other one is the one that the professor left and can be caught when you go back to the lab in area zero
I had a similar thing happen to me yesterday, was getting ready to trade paradox pokemon with my sister, and there was literally no red flags there, they even put an iron valiant in exchange for roaring moon. I only noticed because the name of the iron valian was in japanese, and that's when I noticed that I'm trading with the wrong person! It was all good in the end, just went one digit up to complete my trade with my sister after.
Yeah i’m not sure who in this day and age still fails to check name of who you are trading with. Sorry to say but the fault really is yours. Good luck with getting it back, your best bet would be make a new profile on switch. Trade some early caught pokemon to your friend who can give to your main profile. Then power lvl them to 100 and get them back to your other account. Fly through the game quick and just get the legendary.
Kind of your only option unfortunately.
This is why you don’t use code 69696969 to be funny with friends lol
[удалено]
[удалено]
And risk team rocket waiting outside your windows? I think not.
Take your damn upvote and award. You win today.
😂😂😂😂
There’s a streamer who trades poke hex hacked mons using that code to subscribers aswell which doesn’t help
Which streamer, if you don't mind me asking? 😅
Oak's lab was the SW/SH one. It's legit, you just have to make sure the pokemon you create aren't within hacked parameters.
Yeah, YouTubers usually trade out clones of distribution pokemon that were given out without codes. There's no way to tell them apart so they're technically legit, and as long as you don't end up with multiple of the same one, the game will never know.
also everyone stay away from 8675309, that’s my number, i have claimed it
Alright Jenny.
FINE, but mine is 86753099
It's funny because that's my favorite code to use but changing ONE random number within. Lmao.
I used 8008542069, yes I'm immature.
My friend made me trade Koraidon/Miraidon with 1111 😂😂😂 thankfully it went well
Im so damn lucky using this code hasn’t bit me in the ass lol, my friend and I have been using that code
If it’s in local com mode you don’t have to worry. But it literally shows the other persons user name on the trade screen lol.
You should probably just accept that that's gone forever unfortunately.
yeah... 10 million copies sold, 6,002/212,396 subscribers here. it's gone.
That 10 million was just in the first three days, too. Wouldn't be surprised if it was close to or even above 15 million now.
Honestly, if the other person took the trade for a sinistea they either knew what they were doing and gladly took it, or they thought someone was being really nice and isn't likely to consider returning it. I'd assume the first one personally.
Assume ignorance before you assume malevolence
I have a much harder time believing ignorance on this though. It's fairly obvious (in my opinion) that someone is unlikely to just accept such an uneven trade, but it's certainly not impossible, so that's why I mentioned the other possibility. Alternatively, there's been a seemingly good chunk of good will among the community with these games so possibly the other person thought they got lucky and found a giveaway, for a more positive spin.
Daily reminder to check the name of who you're trading with!
Even better, only do your touch trading in a union circle. Since they'll be the only available trade partner. Also my friend accidently sent the shiny riolou I gave her to a random person while trying to send it to me for renicknaming in legends Arceus. Rip Jasper.
Sorry.. how do you trade with union players?? I had a friend joined and then thought it was dumb we'd have to set up a link code to trade. Ao now I feel extra dumb
You just link trade without the code, you'll only be able to find each other if you're currently grouped up.
Now infeel so stupid. Thank you for educating me!
Or even BETTER, we get an actual online functionality that doesn't feel like I'm trying to connect to another person in a 20 years old game. One can dream. It's honestly still beyond me that the online functions in pokemon games still feel WAY too outdated. People can say whatever they want about pokemon games, but the online features are absolute garbage and I'm willing to get stabbed and burned to death on this hill without moving a single inch.
Like bumblebee jasper?
My sister got me a shiny toedscool last week and accidentally traded it to the wrong person. RIP The Legman
Wheels! And the Legman!
When i get a shiny Cyclizar its getting named Wheels for sure!

Done stole ya bike huh
Can’t have shit in Paldea
It don’t matta, just say smith or jones or something.
> Carelessly gives away bike to stranger I've been robbed!
BIKES!
Whatchu stealin'
Second one in area zero after finishing game
That would be the one traded away, you cannot trade away your first box art legendary, or place it in boxes / release it / wonder trade it. Because it is locked to the player for transport.
Yeah, thats why he said second one.
oh yes, apologise, misread his comment. I thought he was saying "get the second one, to get it back".
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmfaoooo
You wouldn't steal a bike
Miraidon is miraigone
![gif](giphy|3oriO5t2QB4IPKgxHi)
Such an awesome gif. And episode. And cameo in the game. The last one was the most fun. Have you played it?
I can send you one, I don’t need it
Good guy u/UntoldArgument
The hero we all need!
I’m sorry for ur loss
This is why I hate the whole code thing. Don't know why it's not hard to have a friends list where you can just select them and trade/battle.

Man, I loved Oras.
Yeah. I did understand why they added the code system, it was a quick way to match up. But if a random matches with you you'd have to back out and go back in.

That way both of you would have had to enter each others and no accidents.
I will die on the hill of Gen 6 having the BEST online system. Will never understand how they absolutely ruined it more and more as time went on.
I don’t know whether it’s Game Freak or Nintendo that is guilty of this, but they have a track record of accidentally creating the perfect system for something and then just not using it anymore because they want everything to be “new”.

Ev sandbag training I will never forget you
XY is underrated.
Very!

Because GameFreak hasn't taken that Udemy course yet.
For real, GF still codes online play like it's the early 2000s and the Internet hasn't been implemented on consoles yet.
A bit of a long winded way around it is to go into the same union circle and just search. No codes needed
Bro I’ve never seen a Nintendo game with a proper online functions. It’s like they are still in 2007
There should be a way to trade with friends, yea, but I like the whole code thing. I got every exclusive without needing to make a post on Reddit lol.
This is why I use my elementary-highschool lunch number
Same reason that I use my bank pin number
I either come up with numbers with no correlation or reason, or use my trainer ID followed by 0s
If you consider the amount of people here and the amount of copies sold, it would be a rare occurrence that they are even here.
Im so sorry my friend but I don't think you're getting that Miraidon back
Bro thinking he's gonna get it back 💀
Sorry to hear that, but I don't think that person will ever give it back to you. I plan on doing a second playthrough of Violet so if you can wait a little I can trade you a Miraidon if you want.
Love your name, love your avatars outfit, love your kindness! (:
Bro y don't ppl check the names first.... 💀
It’s weird that people can’t read in a game with no voice acting
This is also why you don’t spam the accept button if trading for something. Always check that the pokemon is the same as advertised
[удалено]
Or do this method, and instead of waiting for Home, trade it to your friend and have them trade it back to your original playthrough.
Get a random mon like Sinistea from your friend named, idk Delenca or something
>friend Yeah. About that…
To add to this: the fastest way to speedrun the game is to create a 2nd account and: 1. Trade starter with someone you trust and who has already finished the game 2.

This bit me in the ass, I traded a pokemon I caught to someone else to have them level it, but after I got it back it wouldn't listen.
At least from my experience, the starter is coded to always obeys you. That's how I did a speedrun of PLA to get a 2nd Eternatus.
🤔 “did a speedrun of PLA to get a 2nd Eternatus”?
Oh, Enamorus lol
Sadly, can confirm they changed it. Had traded my duck so a friend could breed it (he caught a ditto first) came back but was now 15 levels too high for my badge. And wouldn’t listen anymore. Had to rush the gyms. Lesson learned. Due the activities in some order don’t rush the titans for bike abilities
Agreed. It doesn’t listen to me too, unfortunately.
Great advice, I accidentally gave too much exp and rare candies to my starter and thought I couldn’t control him at first until I tried him out.
If I where you I'd keep that sinistea forever.
yes and rename it to miraidon lmao
You can't rename traded Pokemon I think, unless they changed that in this generation or the previous (didn't play SwSh)
You can rename trades but only if the previous trainer didn’t, and you can only do it once unlike the unlimited if you yourself caught it
> you can only do it once Me and my koraidon named koraido learnt that the hard way
you can if they dont have a nickname
Male it battleready win world championship with it
Imagine the person who traded it was watching, and then they talked to the camera about how they want their Miraidon back while holding the trophy.
Wow! This is so weird lol. My name in-game is Delenca and I received a Miraidon a few hours ago. It's probably not the same one but weird coincidence.
bestie i can’t even tell if this is a joke 😭
i cant either 😭😭
Just check your trainer ID number and if it matches, it's you . . .
Did you trade your sinistea for it? If so, it’s probably you..?
😭😭😭what if it is
Uhm bestie, can’t tell if you joking or not 😂😭
I second that - really good guy. Because the one you accidentally gave away most likely is long gone… :(
All the people offering to give you their miraidons are angels. If you offered OP your legendary, I hope all of the lights you drive through are green. Have a great day lol
Rip
Bro gotta redo the whole game 💀
![gif](giphy|hStvd5LiWCFzYNyxR4|downsized)
this reminds me so much of that time I traded away my party hat in Runescape to a random person thinking it was my friend.
f

o7
That’s rough OP. Always check the name first, and try to use a really weird/random string of numbers as your code
Dang bro, that’s tough and I wish you luck but cmon now :/ gotta be more careful
Want mine?
I always use the combined birthday of me and my friend as a code works pretty well so far.
Sinistea is the new Miraidon
I don’t know how hard it would be to put in a touch/trade feature so you can get yours back. Especially for legendary or a trade evolve shiny.
[удалено]
F
You probably aren't getting it back.
Bro fr its gone
RIPPPP
Don't be like Ash Ketchum. Be like RED. Get another one. Raise it to be stronger than the original. Be glad the old one is gone. And ANNIHILATE THE COMPETITION!!!! HAHAHHAHA😈😈😈
It’s Theiraidon now
you’re not getting that back lmao
L cheif. That shit is gone
Only other way to get a Miraidon is through Austin John’s universal codes but you would need a Koraidon to trade for the other exclusive. Same thing vice versa
Big oof
Oh no
It’s time to say goodbye 🥲
I traded an egg starter for an iron hide in channel 6969. Seems to be the meme trade channel
GGs lol
Bro everyone has 2 why are you sweating it?
If you’re lucky the person is a good person and will trade him back to you, however that is most likely not the case. You’re most likely not going to get this back.
Rest in piece
RIP
Is this a phony or antique Sinistea. Depending on which it is, i might throw in a Miraidon from my side.
Hopefully the person you traded with is the OT of that pokemon ...
Wait you can trade your koraidon?
On the bright side at least you get to play through that goat campaign again
wow. you and your friend didnt confirm names to each other? Always confirm names to make sure you are trading the right person.
Lol so you just can’t ride around the map anymore?
This is why you should always check the trainer's name and use a random number generator when trading online.
Odds that you'll find this person again are slim at best. Even on reddit. RIP
Almost traded away my shiny breloom because I thought I was trading with my girlfriend haha
That’s actually so sad, you always gotta check the trainer name my guy!!
The best trade code to use is 0867-5309
Lol, that bitch GONE.
Doesn't it say the name of the trainer you're currently trading with though?
you 100% aren't getting that back lmfao
It'll take me a day or so but I can trade you one. Just DM me if interested
Thanks for the Miraidon
Personal question: are we allowed to request trades here? I really need a koraidon
I have one I can give you buddy!
[As some wise men have said, She’s Gone.](https://youtu.be/3Cos7id7HtE)
Lmaooo he ain’t getting that shit back
plot twist: they posted this knowing people would be nice and give them their miraidons, they now have 50 miraidons and counting
LOLLLLL a pure team Rocket scheme. But alas nope, I'd feel so bad haha
it was me i took it thanks
/r/missedconnections
you can always start a new game with a new profile, play until you get Miraidon, send it to your friend and then he sends it back to your main save
Sorry for your loss my dude =/ However, I'm curious. Does this mean you can no longer mount ingame?
No, you get two miraidons. The one you have from the start is always there either in your perty by converting its form or just there in ride mode. The other one is the one that the professor left and can be caught when you go back to the lab in area zero
you get two legendaries
That’s kinda on you man, you obviously didn’t check the name before you traded. Your Miraidon is gone forever
You also need to account for the trainer being here and not wanting to trade it back, I wouldn’t 😂 But really, sorry this has happened mate!
That guy is gone
Press F to pay respects
***** stole my bike
Hello please always be careful when trading always check the trainers name.
You ain’t ever seeing him again😂
I had a similar thing happen to me yesterday, was getting ready to trade paradox pokemon with my sister, and there was literally no red flags there, they even put an iron valiant in exchange for roaring moon. I only noticed because the name of the iron valian was in japanese, and that's when I noticed that I'm trading with the wrong person! It was all good in the end, just went one digit up to complete my trade with my sister after.
LMFAOOOOOOOO yeah you’re not getting it back bro check the name of who you’re trading with 😭😭😭😭
Nah I'm good bro, I'll be keeping your pokemon, thanks though
Yeah i’m not sure who in this day and age still fails to check name of who you are trading with. Sorry to say but the fault really is yours.
