Why is the GTS so full of liars? Pokémon advertised as having 5IV have terrible IVs, Pokémon said to have Gale Wings and Drizzle have Flame Body and Damp.
Is it time to show a Pokémon's Ability when it's up for trade in the GTS?
They're just acting in their own self-interest. What's wrong with that?
The GTS would be 100x better if we could see the stat screen just like in the PC/menu.
That would allow us to check the nature, the ability and maybe even calculate the IVs in some cases.

I think that this is the exact reason for why GF don't allow you to see the stats, it would make trades in the GTS more "cold and mechanized".
>>24588419
I think being allowed to check the ability would be a fair thing to ask
>>24588377
The only thing you can do is not lie on your GTS submissions, and not WT shitmons. Every little bit helps clean the system up.

>Ask for HA as explicitly as possible by typing its name in the message form
>Get something with regular ability 3 times out of 4
Fucking analphabetes, I tell you.

I think the better question is...Why the fuck are there people on this Earth that are actually stupid enough to fall for it?
>>24588377
yes, it's retarded that you can't do it to begin with
>>24588377
Because there are no consequences for getting what you want while screwing other people over.
>>24588377
Cheer the fuck up.
>>24589939
It's hard to cheer up when I keep getting scammed.
Even Japanese players are doing it, and they're usually bros.
Just don't be stupid enough to fall for it. The shit that pisses me off on GTS is people asking for Darkrai and Hoopa in exchange for a Ponyta
> Deposit 5IV Naive Treeckos I've bred asking for Timid Latias (since I have OR)
> Get a bunch of shit Latias in return, but at least I can use them to get whatever else I want in the GTS
> One day, I get a shiny Timid Latias
> Shit IVs
Why

You got what you asked for, not what you wanted. Sorry, mate. At least you can use it for some trading power.
GTS can also be awesome. There was a guy giving away shiny hacked Kyurems. He was most likely trying to get a shiny charm or something. I had a living Dex at the time and got like 2 full boxes of them. I've been using them to get whatever I want.
i hate the gts
it's been 9 years and they still let you ask for legendaries but forbid anyone to trade them
1% genuine mistakes - I've stuck boxed breeding stock up with the wrong ability on once or twice, and I also once made a balls up and stuck the wrong Garchomp up saying it was 5IV (I did actually have one to trade) when I was looking for a bog standard Salamence dex filler.
1% cba changing the message

A bigger pet peeve for me are the levels.
>Level 91-100 Fennekin
Fucking why? Even worse, they sometimes ask for a Pokémon that is a level that's completely impossible for it to be. Is it a joke? Is it supposed to be funny, asking for something that's impossible to have? Or are they just retarded?
>>24593163
another question is why they expect you to give them powerful mons for their shitmons and breeding rejects
>>24593163
>impossible to have
What is everstone
>>24593428
More like someone asking for a level 1-10 Aggron.
