It honestly feels like people now are being a lot more generous in surprise trades. It might be because it’s becoming easier to get shinies, which is in no way a bad thing, but I’ve noticed more non hacked shiny Pokémon, and just really good late game Pokémon being traded in this generation than in previous generations. It’s really nice to see people helping strangers out with filling out the Pokédex, even if it’s just because they have extras. I remember when people would just release the extra Pokémon and it always made younger me feel a little sad.
Definitely. I remember back in USUM, me taking time to get version exclusives, hidden ability pokémon, hard to get pokémon with low encounter chancr and whatnot to try out wondertrading and seeing what I'd get - and in 30ish trades, I got about a dozen wingulls, another half a dozen-dozen youngoos/rattata and whatever else you get on the first route, and the only 2 trades that weren't just early route garbage were a Mimikyu (not rare, but hey) and an Oranguru. I literally haven't touched the feature since then since it seemed like everyone is just trying to give as little as possible in hopes of getting something great. I definitely think the greater ease of shinies and especially max raids giving you ok-ish things you might not need while you're gathering shards or herba mystica definitely helps tilt the pool of pokémon towards "fun to get" instead of "complete garbage". Might even get tempted to try out surprise trade again.
I was shiny hunting for a Komala near release using Normal sandwiches, and ended up with three shiny male Oinkalogne. I only needed one so I Surprise Traded the other two away.
Man feeling kinda cool that I got my full odds shiny before him It was a mareep- I was trying to find a female eevee for breeding- ampharos’s shiny is so cool
Since I play Violet and I don't have any friend who are into the Pokemon, I wanted to try surprise trade for all the Starters and all of the Scarlet exclusive Pokemon. I trade away mostly Violet exclusives (4 Boxes of Violet Paradoxes on Christmas alone) and it worked out good for some time, getting a new Pokemon every 10-15 trades. But then it started to realy be a drag. I still do not have a Stonjourner, Hydreigon-line and most of the Scarlet Paradoxes, as well as Koraidon. And tbh at this point I have given up. My pride prevented me from asking for trades for the Pokemon I need, but it was a fun experience. Not something I would recomend, but fun. GET SOME FRIENDS WHO PLAY POKEMON. Don't be like me :D
it's a little disheartening that website bots found their way into Scarlet/Violet already. I was hoping SV wouldn't fall into the same fate that Sword/Shield did when it became completely overrun with bots intended to scam children out of their parent's money. And unlike in Sword and Shield, you can't block hack bots if you run into one. But it is nice to see that there are people in the Surprise Trades that are sending out legitimately good Pokemon. I just wish Game Freak or Nintendo added website domains to their censor list, because that would be a very easy fix for this problem.
I like how people are being nice in surprise trades now. Especially after the greninja raid, legit non-hacked 6 IV hidden ability Froakies are flying all over the place.
All I've seen are the hacked ones. I've just been trading 5IV protean ones from all the breeding I've done but I'd like to be that nice when I get the chance
@@KlTRA Usually hacks are pretty obvious. 6IV shiny hidden ability rare pokemon with a website name are commonplace with hacked pokemon.

All of the offspring have been legitimate with my name and ID on it, so you should be fine.
@@smudged4090 Can you get banned for having hacked pokemon because I got surprised traded a 6IV shiny greninja, hisuian zoroark, and charizard all with website names
This has propably been said before, but Traumato is actually just german for Drowzee. "Traum" is german for "dream", so thats probably why it is namend that way.
Why do I feel like that haunter was from a person who thought they would get it back as a gengar but didn’t realise they were on surprise trade not a link trade.
I feel like only using Wonder/Surprise Trade would take an eternity in pretty much any game. I tried this in ORAS and I still haven't completed it to this day.
Well I mean.. legendaries are probably never gonna just be randomly given away unless someone is doing a wonderlocke or, what I do, trading away all my mons before restarting a cartridge for some reason
This was actually really fun and fascinating as I had a similar experience. I wanted to start my playthrough with a shiny Sprigatito and bred with a Lechonk, surprise trading the breedjects. I got so many new 'mons, including a foreign Ditto, and got ~100 dex entries in 162 trades. Also, with the special raid pokemon, if you're like me and suck at doing raids, just wait a few hours after the raid starts and do some trades. I got 5 Froakie the day the Greninja raid started!
The first three full odds shinies I found during my playthrough all happened to be Maschiffs. The next two after that were back to back Litleos within barely ten minutes of each other.
during holidays, i've noticed a lot of legitimate shinies that people are giving away and it's honestly so sweet. people are a lot nicer with shinies these days. (i've also got accidentally sent shinies and it makes me feel bad)
It's like the CandyEvie videos where she surprise trades a thousand Magnemites! Now that you've had a taste, I'd love to see you react to one of those videos of hers
I’m actually surprised that the website trades have already been started. I didn’t think it would happen for a while. At least the Haunter/Gengar seems legit. Also congrats on the two shiny full odds tarountula.
@@mirage8476 I don’t know much about them myself, but I’ll do my best to explain. “Website or hacked shinies” to my understanding are Pokémon that come from websites that place them into the games through outside means such as modded consoles or computers. They often have perfect IV’s and natures and tend to be named a specific nickname after the website. Although they may not always be nicknamed that. Sometimes they’re easy to spot. Other times, they’re a lot better hidden. The reason these are bad are they were put into the game illegitimately and can sometimes be considered illegal. (Not like breaking the law illegal, but illegal in terms of competitive battling.) They are also considered illegal if they are shinies that cannot be normally obtained like the GEN 9 legends since those are shiny-locked in-game.
@@mirage8476 the main purpose of these website shinies is basically to scam young children. If anyone wanted to hack in Pokemon of their own, they easily could through PKHex. But kids that don't know how to hack will see these website shinies and think they could get more and end up getting scammed.
I enjoyed this video. I saw the title and was like "Well Obviously the answer is yes." And then Mikey said that he didn't want to waste hours upon hours of his life randomly trading and I just laughed because yeah, that is EXACTLY how I wasted a summer when I got OmegaRuby to complete the dex. I can imagine completing the paldean dex is going to be time consuming this way.
@@damienearl8302 some minor differences. like you can't do anything while waiting for your trade which is why it took me a whole summer to complete the dex. However because I do not care about whether or not the pokemon I get are hacked or not, I just found a twitch account that trades out hacks and you can try and match up with them to get what you want.
When referring to the "johtoian" Wooper or any Pokemon form that isn't the regional variant, we should be saying the "National Form" Cause if you catch one in SInnoh, its not exactly Johtonian - it has nothing to do with Johto, but it is in that form nationally except for specific regions, which have the other form
Nobody says that. The idea of "National" lost all weight when this series moved beyond Japanese regions. That's the whole reason why it was called the National Pokédex, you know.
Did you ever get a galarian Meowth from OT Phoenix? I got a Lechonk with OT Mikey a few days ago, but it's a very common name so I didn't consider the possibility until this video came up.
One cannot describe the excitement I felt at learning you're getting into Dimension 20 as someone who's been watching it for years. I hope you enjoy it!
@@kanevivi Dimension 20 is a Dungeons and Dragons show with 14 different campaigns that've been filmed over the years, with changing casts, settings, etc. It's peak content; pretty much all of em are comedians and even some celebrities that just have fun playing out a story.

Sometimes I actually mass breed starters/trade evos/exclusives and surprise trade them to people in case they don’t have people to play with and/or don’t use Reddit or something to find them (also things like scorbunny and charmander in case people missed those events) just because I’ve been in their shoes just hoping and praying lol.
I catch exclusives (usually paradoxes but not always) and surprise trade them away. I have an insane amount of money in this game from the amulet coin and catching gives exp so I figured why not. Hopefully they make someone happy.
Actually in post game if you go back to area zero you can get a second Koraidon or Miraidon to trade or keep I know because that's what I did in my copy of scarlet and violet if you have a friend with the opposite game you have you can trade them to get them registered in the dex and then trade them back to each other if you want to keep both the 1 you get in your playthrough and the 1 you get going back to area zero in post game
I give away my whole team and any interesting extras I've found before i reset my file for a new playthrough. My first shiny was a Garados I named Blue. He's out there floating around in surprise trade now. 😂
My first 2 shinies were Lechonk. My third was me breeding charmanders with the Masuda method and it was like the 6th charmander I hatched and haven't had one since.
Psst Mikey! You can absolutely breed a shiny Charmander; I caught the Charizard and Masuda method it with a Spanish Ditto ☺️ I've also caught a shiny Screaming Tail as well, so... As long as the Screaming tail is caught higher than level 40 something... It's legit, dude!
@@animalia5554 the nickname will be that of the website rather than it's standard name or it's a shiny of a Pokemon that currently does not have it's shiny released like keldeo
Flutter mane is bugged, and you can find shinies of it technically legitimately extremely easily. That one is probably legit. (ghost pokemon despawn during the day, but shinies do not. Flutter mane still spawns during the day, unlike other ghost Pokemon. This means simply standing in that cave with a ghost encounter & shiny sandwich functionally automatically shiny hunts them.)
As soon as I saw the title I was like "oh God, he is doing a wonder trade gauntlet" then I heard the limit and was like "oh thank god he won't have to go through that torture"

@@gengarzilla1685 Yeah but if you already don’t think it’s shiny and are just trading it away, you could either not notice or just not think to look in the first place, especially if you’re new to the game and don’t know that’s a thing
Funnily enough I was debating on trying to make as much of a living dex through Wonder Trade as possible. Makes sense that it would take a LONG time and a LOT of trades, especially as you complete more of it
The shiny chArmander wasn’t hacked cause they could’ve bred the Charizard from the seven star raid a while ago and got some shinies with the Mesaad method
It was hacked. While theoretically possible to be legit, its OT was a name that, when googled, brought up a website/bot specifically trading out shinies (which means they're generated)
So I recently decided to try and beat scarlet only using surprise trade and as soon as I do, pm7 makes a video on that. Now Im half way through and Im wondering "I wonder how long it would take me to complete the pokedex this way" and then heres this video😂
been doing a bit of surprise trading myself to help with my dex, and i do feel like people are a lot more generous with their trades than in previous gens. i know i've been trying to trade out version exclusives from my game, including paradox pokemon, the fire tauros, armarouge, and of course some starters! and i've only received one hacked shiny so far, which i promptly released lol
Getting legit shinies in random trades makes me so happy, so I’m glad you got the novel experience of Peter’s kindness. I’ve received (and released) a zillion illegitimate ones, but the two legit ones have my heart 💕
I love the shiny tarountula it was my first shiny ever and my first and only shiny I love, watching you get two made me jealous😭 I also named the shiny tarountula apple
I've been able to fill most of my Violet Pokedex by trades including the few that are Scarlet exclusives. There's still a bit more I need for completion but I'll continue to trade including a bunch of late stage pokemon to help others out.
I got Lechonk as my second full odds shiny, just ambling around near Levincia! I love her dearly. Also had fletchling, fletchinder (!) and I bred an azumarill within five eggs which will never happen to me again haha
For some reason I’ve got several Paradox Pokémon through Surprise Trade, but they’ve all been Brute Bonnet, except for a hacked shiny Iron Bundle whose OT name was a link to a website.
I did a ton of surprise trades recently trying to get the starters, it was easier to get almost all the scarlet version exclusives than to use the link codes.
I would love to see this as a challenge to see how many trade to actually complete it, or get down to just the version and maybe shrine legendaries left. It would probably take a ridiculous amount of time though.
I'm glad people are trading more diverse and dificult to get pokemon. I usually catch a bunch of area zero mons to both train my mons and surprise trade the duplicate version exclusives. Hopefully it makes someone's day
I actually did a wonder trade bingo with a friend today, and to both our surprise neither of us ended up with a Paradox Mon, since they seem to be fairly common based on similar vids I've seen here. I did end up picking up a Website Shiny, though... And my friend and I ended up matching for a trade, which was hilarious given the odds of that happening.
I once caught a box full of Iron Hands, picked out the best one to train, and sent out the rest to people. I hope it helped someone complete their dex. The only paradox I ever got, that I couldn't catch myself was Sandy Shocks. The rest, I all had to ask for, to complete my dex...
The fact you didn't get 20 froakies is the most shocking thing to me. I got five in a row just trading them back and forth before I got anything that wasn't froakie
Fun fact about my experience playing Pokemon Scarlett, generation nine is actually the very first main series Pokemon game where I was able to successfully complete the Pokedex!
Scarlet and Violet are my 1st 2 main series pokemon games and since then I've added more I bought Scarlet 1st when I bought my Nintendo switch lite congrats on completing the pokedex I'm currently working on completing my pokedex in scarlet
Wow, never expected to end up on here. Thanks for the lechonk. Sorry the scorbunny didn't help, or if you ended up with a bunch of my starters. Just trying to help people who can't get them other ways. Great vid!

The second you mentioned Dimension 20 I got like so excited! Always have that on in the background, it's a great show.
I give away my whole team and any interesting extras I've found before i reset my file for a new playthrough. My first shiny was a Garados I named Blue. He's out there floating around in surprise trade now. 😂
i love how mikey can make up something ridiculous and still succeed
Ikr
Correction it’s usually random like how many charmanders he got
we need to thank katlynn for the drugs
My first 2 shinies were Lechonk. My third was me breeding charmanders with the Masuda method and it was like the 6th charmander I hatched and haven't had one since.
Congrats on the shinies!
Unfortunately that was my 2nd shiny and my only new shiny. My other 3 are ones I already have
I got Rotom and then skorupi 30 minutes later then 6 months later alpha chatot, all in PLA
For levelling up, use a high pevel mon (if someone sends a paradox, it'll be around 60) for 3 and 4 star raids for candies.
Psst Mikey! You can absolutely breed a shiny Charmander; I caught the Charizard and Masuda method it with a Spanish Ditto ☺️
I've also caught a shiny Screaming Tail as well, so... As long as the Screaming tail is caught higher than level 40 something... It's legit, dude!
Sorry I meant Fluttermanr lol
He's well aware that charmander is in the game. He was referring to the fact the they are from a hacking website rather than from someone breeding it
Honest question: how can you tell?
@@animalia5554 the nickname will be that of the website rather than it's standard name or it's a shiny of a Pokemon that currently does not have it's shiny released like keldeo
@@TlocRevelc ahhh ok I getcha :)
Technically every non friend trade that gives you a good thing can be defined as a "surprise"
So yes regardless
Yep. Took far too long to complete the entries for the other game. Took a lot of Eiscue to get the Scarlet exclusives.
Flutter mane is bugged, and you can find shinies of it technically legitimately extremely easily. That one is probably legit.
(ghost pokemon despawn during the day, but shinies do not. Flutter mane still spawns during the day, unlike other ghost Pokemon. This means simply standing in that cave with a ghost encounter & shiny sandwich functionally automatically shiny hunts them.)
surprise trading is a great feature
Also agreed
My first full odds shiny in Violet was a .... lechonk, my first full odds shiny in Scarlet was Garganacl
As soon as I saw the title I was like "oh God, he is doing a wonder trade gauntlet" then I heard the limit and was like "oh thank god he won't have to go through that torture"

Maybe the reason Peter traded away that shiny Haunter was because he didn’t know it was shiny.
Peter is just on a quest to right the wrongs Mindy committed.
Doubtful. It shows their shinyness on the status screen, not just the sprite.
@@gengarzilla1685 Yeah but if you already don’t think it’s shiny and are just trading it away, you could either not notice or just not think to look in the first place, especially if you’re new to the game and don’t know that’s a thing
Funnily enough I was debating on trying to make as much of a living dex through Wonder Trade as possible. Makes sense that it would take a LONG time and a LOT of trades, especially as you complete more of it
The shiny chArmander wasn’t hacked cause they could’ve bred the Charizard from the seven star raid a while ago and got some shinies with the Mesaad method
Uh, no, that's definitely hacked.
@@gengarzilla1685 it's definitely possible to breed down the six iv mighty Charizard for a shiny Charmander with at least five perfect ivs dude
It was hacked. While theoretically possible to be legit, its OT was a name that, when googled, brought up a website/bot specifically trading out shinies (which means they're generated)
@@MandJTVPlays is this the real Mandjtv plays cause YOUR SO UNLUCKY CHILD
@@MandJTVPlays Also castform should have a thunder form I mean like THUNDER IS WAY TOO COMMON yet castform doesn’t have a thunder form
So I recently decided to try and beat scarlet only using surprise trade and as soon as I do, pm7 makes a video on that. Now Im half way through and Im wondering "I wonder how long it would take me to complete the pokedex this way" and then heres this video😂
been doing a bit of surprise trading myself to help with my dex, and i do feel like people are a lot more generous with their trades than in previous gens. i know i've been trying to trade out version exclusives from my game, including paradox pokemon, the fire tauros, armarouge, and of course some starters! and i've only received one hacked shiny so far, which i promptly released lol
Thank you for your patronage. Now I am going to go surprise trade for a bit to get some of the Scarlett Pokemon that I cannot get. Plus the starters!
I think the completionist completed this exact challenge on his channel and it is coming out today
Getting legit shinies in random trades makes me so happy, so I’m glad you got the novel experience of Peter’s kindness. I’ve received (and released) a zillion illegitimate ones, but the two legit ones have my heart 💕
This makes me want to do a wonderlocke
I love the shiny tarountula it was my first shiny ever and my first and only shiny I love, watching you get two made me jealous😭 I also named the shiny tarountula apple
I've been able to fill most of my Violet Pokedex by trades including the few that are Scarlet exclusives. There's still a bit more I need for completion but I'll continue to trade including a bunch of late stage pokemon to help others out.
I'm glad to see you get a full odds shiny, since I also got one, a Venonat that I found after getting demolished by the Grass gym leader.
Bidoof dod has blessed you. Hail yeah.
My first full odds shiny in Violet was a LeChonk, which I found approximately 10 minutes into playing in the tutorial area. I was very excited lmao
Mikey is going to absolutely despise this
I got Lechonk as my second full odds shiny, just ambling around near Levincia! I love her dearly. Also had fletchling, fletchinder (!) and I bred an azumarill within five eggs which will never happen to me again haha
Same here, but in Scarlet! My first wild shiny ever in a main series pokemon game (not counting PLA)
@@charadreemurr4839 What because the color of Shiny Lechonk looks like Miltank how could you?!
@@dominicvega1678 I did not know about that more reason for the hatred then thanks
I see this title and I think oh that's cool then I think again and I'm like hail no I can't do this. Props to you Mikey
I went up into 276 Pokémon in the dex with your method
So useful, I hope people can find this so interesting to fill up the dex
For some reason I’ve got several Paradox Pokémon through Surprise Trade, but they’ve all been Brute Bonnet, except for a hacked shiny Iron Bundle whose OT name was a link to a website.
They should do this again for the teal mask Pokedex and the blueberry academy Pokedex
“Hi, my name is Mikey, but you can call me Sceptile”
Love this comment
6:47 didn’t expect mikey to go full kratos there
2 uploads 1 weekend!
keep it up mikey 🥳
I 100% agree!
0:12 you would be waiting forever. You can't trade it, I tried once and it wouldn't let me
Was it your ride Mi/Koraidon?
0:17 He is talking about the Koraidon/Miraidon you can catch after you beat the game after you go back to Area Zero.
I did a ton of surprise trades recently trying to get the starters, it was easier to get almost all the scarlet version exclusives than to use the link codes.
There was a duplication glitch for shiny flutter mane so that is actually the most likely to be legit
But he probably released all of em
I would love to see this as a challenge to see how many trade to actually complete it, or get down to just the version and maybe shrine legendaries left. It would probably take a ridiculous amount of time though.
I am so happy you like Dimension 20
I'm glad people are trading more diverse and dificult to get pokemon. I usually catch a bunch of area zero mons to both train my mons and surprise trade the duplicate version exclusives. Hopefully it makes someone's day
I actually did a wonder trade bingo with a friend today, and to both our surprise neither of us ended up with a Paradox Mon, since they seem to be fairly common based on similar vids I've seen here. I did end up picking up a Website Shiny, though... And my friend and I ended up matching for a trade, which was hilarious given the odds of that happening.
I once caught a box full of Iron Hands, picked out the best one to train, and sent out the rest to people. I hope it helped someone complete their dex. The only paradox I ever got, that I couldn't catch myself was Sandy Shocks. The rest, I all had to ask for, to complete my dex...
Getting a shiny haunter that evolves into gengar is ultimate luck. I'd actually cry.
The fact you didn't get 20 froakies is the most shocking thing to me. I got five in a row just trading them back and forth before I got anything that wasn't froakie
14:20 That's funny but it's actually just the german name
Fun fact about my experience playing Pokemon Scarlett, generation nine is actually the very first main series Pokemon game where I was able to successfully complete the Pokedex!
Scarlet and Violet are my 1st 2 main series pokemon games and since then I've added more I bought Scarlet 1st when I bought my Nintendo switch lite congrats on completing the pokedex I'm currently working on completing my pokedex in scarlet
Peter might’ve traded you the haunter purposefully trying to get it to evolve. He thought might’ve thought you would trade it back.
He should have been using link trades for that. Must be a mistake.
Wow, never expected to end up on here. Thanks for the lechonk. Sorry the scorbunny didn't help, or if you ended up with a bunch of my starters. Just trying to help people who can't get them other ways.
Great vid!
Surprised you didn’t get tarontula earlier, I get tons of route 1 Pokémon when I surprise trade
I found a full odds shiny azurill right at the start of my violet playthrough
Mikey saying he got into Dimension 20 made me ridiculously happy, not gonna lie 😂
I used the sup trades to complete 1/4 of my dex
MandJtv: ooh, a gulpin. GULPIN DEEZ N-
editor:*cuts the clip*
I would KILL to see you and other PokeTubers play DnD! Dimension 20 is awesome!
Oh heck yeah!
The gengar was from Pokemon Go that’s why it’s so low level
