Hello guys Newbie here. Want to know more about the economy.

[M0nkeyk1ng]

Hey guys. I am new to PRO I just completed Kanto region. Unfortunately, I blew all my money being a dumbass and now I am trying to get into the player economy.  So, my questions would be, 

1. How do you guys set the prices for pokemons. I have seen some wild prices in the trade. Some guys are selling pokemons for 20K other asking for 100K for the same pokemon. Now, I am just confused. 

2. Also is there someone here that buys pokemons with good IVS ? I will sell for cheap. 

3. Is there an NPC that buys gems? i.e. Flying gem, dragon gem etc. 
TIA

Hello there @M0nkeyk1ng and welcome to PRO! I'd be happy to help answer your questions.

 

Prices are set by the seller for any Pokemon in PRO. These prices can vary quite a bit depending on a few factors; IVs, Nature, Ability and Rarity. A price increase is common if a Pokemon is a Shiny or an Event form, as they are much harder to find. Many players ask for Price Checks from other players, to give them a general idea of how much they could get for a Pokemon. No price is set in stone and the more time you spend here in PRO, the more you will learn of general prices.

 

High IV Pokemon are very sought after here in PRO. Two terms frequently used to describe high IV Pokemon are Epic (usually 20+) and Godly (usually 25+). If a Pokemon has IVs like these and also has the desired Nature and Ability, prices will climb higher and higher. 

 

As @Narutox07 correctly stated, there is no NPC that buys Gems. However, Gems can be sold to other players and also exchanged at an NPC known as the Item Recycler in Lake Cave in the Johto Region. This a great way to use Gems and other items you may have for a chance to obtain rarer, more valuable items.

 

I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, please let me know.

@Houndstonety for pointing out missing information 

[M0nkeyk1ng]

@Houndstone @Narutox07 Does epic mean 20+ all stats or only the desired ones ? Like SPATK and Speed for Abra, ATCK and speed for arcanine etc. 
Also thanks for the insight  

[Mrclaireaa]

@M0nkeyk1ng epic means for abra for example every stat except attack +20

[Narutox07]

@M0nkeyk1ngevery stats expect which Pokemon don't use like @Mrclaireaasaid abra all stats satk speed def spdef hp except atk because abra has less atk power as compared to it spatk

[Houndstone]

Alakazam prefers Timid or Modest natures; both of which reduce the Attack stat. In this example, 20+ would be required for all stats besides Attack. Some Pokemon, like mixed attackers, benefit from having high IVs in all 6 stats. A good example of this would Naive Greninja, 20+ in all stats would be required to considered epic in terms of IVs.

 

Have a great day!
