Hello. I would like to buy Feraligatr for the indicated price (4m).

Hello. I am interested in both. However, you did not accept my 5m offer on Chansey in the past. I am not sure if you would accept it now. As for Seismitoad, I can offer 4m. I recently bought a decent one for 2m, but yours would be a nice upgrade.

Hello. I am interested. I hope you will consider my offer. Let me know what you decide! Thank you for posting this. :)

2m.

Bump! I put everything I am specifically looking for in bold characters.

If HP was as high as the other IVs, I would definitely buy it. :(

Hey! I don't think it's much better than the one I have right now, although high speed is really nice. I would like to buy one that is much better than the one I have, but thank you!

Hey! Thank you for posting, but I already have better and need even better than the one I have. Sorry!

Bump! Bold Unaware Clefable and Bold Marvel Scale Milotic removed from the list.

Bump!

Insta.

Insta.

I'll insta for 5m. 5 CCs (1.875m) and 3.125m.

Hey! Thank you for messaging me. I think I replied to you on Discord. I am looking for better, sorry!

Bump! List updated!

Kyurem-Black and base Kyurem have extremely similar defensive stats (125 HP and 100/90 Def). It is also normal for a Pokémon to have checks/counters. That's the way to balance out the meta. It does not make Kyurem a bad PvP option. You can pair it up with Magnezone if Scizor is a nuisance. A Pokémon is not expected to be able to handle every threat (although top-tier Pokémon like Manaphy have options to deal with most things). Another Pokémon can be used to handle Mach Punch/Fighting-types (perhaps Clefable, to form a Dragon-Steel-Fairy core). Having said that, I do think that new legendary additions would be most welcome. Kyurem-Black, which was really good in Gen 6 and Gen 7, would definitely be top-tier in PRO. I don't think all legendary additions have to be top-tier, but it's fine, as long as there are no unhealthy Pokémon being allowed in PvP. Would Kyurem-Black be broken in the current meta? Physically offensive Kyurem-Black can surprise specially defensive Pokémon like Chansey and Gastrodon with Outrage; the Choice Scarf set can nail usually faster threats; Earth Power can hit Heatran and Magnezone; HP Fire can hit Scizor and Ferrothorn; Clefable can handle most sets with the right EV spread, but Iron Head/Flash Cannon can nail it on the switch. Depending on their sets, Jirachi, Conkeldurr, and Metagross can check Kyurem-Black. Kyurem-Black is also not easily revenge killed if it is healthy, as its good defenses can allow it to stomach some hits. This is also the case with base Kyurem, although Kyurem-Black has 10 more Def points. It is weak to hazards (Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Toxic Spikes). It is relatively slow when not carrying a Choice Scarf and can be abused when Choice-locked. While I don't think that Kyurem-Black would be absurdly overpowered in the current meta, I do think that it would be overcentralizing. You would probably need to have 2 checks to it. Overall, I think that a case can be made in favor of adding Kyurem-Black to the game. However, base Kyurem is perfectly viable. It is a good Pokémon. It is ranked lower than Kyurem-Black on Smogon because it is outclassed by it. However, it always managed to maintain an OU niche. Base Kyurem is even better with Substitute and Roost, allowing it to beat Chansey with Earth Power. Right now, a Choice Specs set can be really hard to switch into, but it will always be walled by Chansey due to lack of Substitute. I do think that Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Keldeo, Volcanion, and base Hoopa would be good additions.

I know that there have been attempts to better the PvP scene because of its current, stale meta. The Gale Wings suggestion seems to be really divisive, so I wanted to try to figure out other possible fixes. I have two suggestions, but please bear with me, as both are still in their preliminary stages and could be vastly improved or rephrased. PvP quests: They could be on a daily or weekly basis, and timely completion would not refresh them. Instead, you would have to wait until their allotted time naturally runs out. These would be an incentive to diversify the meta and get more people to engage in PvP. They would be randomized to avoid breaking the economy. As such, each player would get random, different quests. I am not sure about the number of quests (1-3?), the frequency (daily or weekly?) or reward (perhaps 1 PvP coin?). Examples: "Win 1 PvP match using Electivire"; "Win 2 PvP matches using 4 Water-type Pokémon per match"; "Win 3 PvP matches without using a Steel-type Pokémon"; "Win 1 PvP match using 6 Pokémon that start with the letter C"; etc. Market: I am not sure about the feasibility of this suggestion, but I think it would be really cool if we had a trading post with a "WTB" and a "WTS" feature. You would, for example, be able to sell a Pokémon by choosing whether people can bid and insta, only bid, or simply insta. There would be a time limit, and the highest bidder would win the Pokémon after the bid ends. However, for instas, the buyer can acquire the Pokémon instantly. The seller should not be allowed to lower the insta price if there is already an offer, but should be able to do so if there are no offers. This would also allow people to try to buy any Pokémon by indicating the name, the ability, the nature, the range of IVs, and the price that are desired. An interested seller with a Pokémon matching those criteria would then be able to validate the offer. I don't expect the "WTB" feature to be too successful, because people tend to be picky with Pokémon and/or make low offers for what the Pokémon is worth (e.g., WTB Rough Skin 31 Spe, 25+ Atk Gatchomp for 400k). Please let me know what you think of both suggestions. Feel free to comment if you have any improvements or just want to share your opinions! Thank you.

Post-Gen 5 Sun teams are extremely underpowered and are consistently ranked at the bottom of every viability list, including the one made by idkup, which is pinned for everyone else to see. Yet, Belzebel has managed to finish on the ladder 10+ times. Please do not bash her for proving that she can still make it to the ladder using an underpowered playstyle. Everyone else should step it up. And by the way, as long as a winning move can change the outcome of a game (e.g., a Pursuit trapped Gengar missing a critical Focus Blast), Pokémon will never be completely serious and competitive. And before people comment on Focus Blast being overpowered, thus requiring it to have drawbacks, it does not need to have 120 power to begin with, and Talonflame's STABS both have 120 power and don't miss.

Talonflame can also fit on stall teams. It can run a nasty bulky set with either Taunt or Will-O-Wisp. It can be physically defensive, specially defensive, bulky but offensive (Full HP, full Atk), fast and offensive. It can run Swords Dance, Choice Band, Leftovers, or no item at all to switch into Knock Off and abuse Acrobatics. Do we really want Bird Spam teams back?

I really hope that a staff member will take the time to look into the IP addresses of the people who voted. Someone in this thread commented several times (seemingly on multiple accounts) and may have voted more than once. Polling should be done fairly, especially when the community is quite evenly divided on this matter.

I am shocked this is even being considered. I seriously hope this doesn't happen. However, if it does, all Gen 7 mechanics/additions should be reverted back to Gen 6. New moves, Alolan forms, status changes, new abilities, and new stats would have to be changed accordingly. Gengar's Levitate would have to be back. Mantine would lose Roost. There's more.

Only if there is a way to make sure that each person can only trade with a single alt account. Otherwise, I can see people creating multiple alt accounts and/or trading with friends, possibly buying legendaries (which is a concern that has been voiced by the OP). If this is to be implemented, please make sure that the main account is connected to said alt account in a way that only allows legendaries to be traded between those two, with no other accounts involved in this. I agree with this suggestion because having two versions of a legendary allows for two different natures, EV spreads, and moves. It also allows for less predictability in PvP, because it is possible to remember the specificities of someone's legendaries after battling them a few times. I can, for example, remember that X's Latios has HP Fire, meaning that I need to switch Ferrothorn out or that my Gengar is faster. However, as someone who spent 100+ IV reroll tickets to make my legendaries PvPable, I do not think that people should be allowed to trade 10+ Latios (even if they receive them for free from people who quit the game or perhaps even by making an infinity of alt accounts, which might be hard to track). Alternatively, it might be easier to limit trading legendaries to 1 per legendary per account, meaning that each account can only trade Latios once. People can still arrange trades on Discord to get a very good version of a legendary, however. That remains the concern. I think that linking the main account to a single alt account to limit legendary trades between them is best. But... +1.
