Description: Kevin24 operates an event trade shop under the name Kevin24's Event Shop. He posted in the Diancie thread that he was looking for codes. We negotiated a trade of 4 event Pokemon for 4 codes. None of the four came with their items, which I ignored because I can get more in game. However, 2 of the Pokemon were inexplicably missing their moves, one I was able to relearn with a heart scale, but the other was a Charizard that was supposed to have Powder Snow. After arguing with him for over an hour and giving him the link to the event dex page multiple times to which he replied, "Charizard can't learn Powder Snow (duh, that's why this one is special), he did finally trade me something else but wasted my time an energy and insulted my intelligence.
Charizard can't learn Powder Snow; it's a mistake on the event dex. Although if you really were insulted by his responses, send me a PM with screenshots of the PMs and hopefully I can deal with it.

Don't worry, I can't blacklist you since it was just some confusion brought about by the event dex. I'll try and get it fixed.

I would wager he is just reaaaally busy with holidays/schools. It seems unlikely he would attempt to scam now and risk a blacklist, after so many years of trading here reliably. He is generally a good trader and irl stuff can happen. I can't say definitively, but yea. I wouldn't expect this out of him.

From there, I strongly recommend trading first, and in general, avoid trading for codes. If you aren't after specific events and just want the event mons, I can cover him and send you some. I've got them (actually, I think he just had the same ones I did LOL). I'll shoot you a pm about it, hopefully we can resolve this in a manor that you aren't mad at him still and he learns to not be dumb and go on vacation while someone is waiting for mons from him. I'm not sure what would possess him to do that, but I know a lot of people are very busy with holidays and finals this month and it has personally delayed many of my trades.

Sorry this happened to ya though. I've been on that end and its just a huge pain in the rear.

Description: Me and this person made a deal for my legitimately caught shiny lugia for an event keldeo that he even CLONED. After the trade was done (probably cloning the lugia after the trade was done), he wanted to trade back. The lugia was ut and I did nothing wrong and then he says I'm a liar and deciever. I never said i didnt ev train it, but i didnt level it up. It only had like a few exp points. I don't think he should get banned, but someone should talk to him. Its not fair that he wants to a trade back, especially since he cloned his keldeo and I can't clone anything. He pretty much got something for free. Then he says I didn't catch it, but I told him I caught it before I started a new game, traded it to my fiances game, and transferred it to my new game. He doesnt listen. Idk what to do or if hes trying to scam me, but I'm done talking to him. I didn't delete my pms if any mod wants to read them. I can't prnt scrn or take a picture of our conversation because I'm on a phone. I think he's like a young kid, or atleast he acts like it. I don't know but if he wants to trade he needs to be mature.

When making a trade, when you claim that the Pokemon is ut (untouched) that means that the Pokemon should be the same level as it was caught/distributed, without ANY experience points, not infected with pokerus, no changed move set and no ev points.

When you ev train a Pokemon you are also giving it experience points
When you throw a Pokemon into daycare it is also gaining experience points

If it were me and I received your lugia expecting it to be untouched and it wasn't, I would request a trade back right away too. I am a cloner as well but because this pokemon has been touched I wouldn't even clone it. However you will never be 100% sure what or where that lugia has been or been through while it isn't in your possession, but at least you can keep this civil and get your Pokemon back, and if Keldeo is really that important to you, if needed to be, I can clone an extra one for you.

Hello trainers!

I have some legendarys for trade and looking for the same too BUT non shiny, i prefer to have the legendarys i wish in a regular pokeball.

FT:

6IV shiny european Genesect, Modest nature and Download ability. The OT Plasma event pokemon in a event ball of course.

3IV Genesect, Jolly nature and with Download ability, this is not a shiny Genesect but is a OT Plasma event pokemon too.

6IV shiny Shaymin, Timid nature and with natural cure ability, i looking for exactly the same but a non shiny Shaymin. It can also have 5IV so a 6IV is NOT a must.

5IV Meloetta, Modest nature and Serena Grace ability, it's SPR2013 Event pokemon and i want really good deal for this one.. non shiny Ho-Oh and Lugia at least 5IV and both with modest nature should make the deal!

6IV shiny Celebi, Bold nature and Natural Cure ability, this one is also a WIN2011 event pokemon. ATTENTION, this is a hacked pokemon. If you want to have this one then you ACCEPT that it's a hacked pokemon. I'm searching for a good deal for this one too anyway.

6IV shiny Darkrai, Serious nature and with Bad Dreams ability, it's in a dark ball!

6IV shiny Lugia, Docile nature and with Pressure ability, a pokemon in a masterball.

6IV shiny Mewtwo, Serious nature and with Pressure ability, this Mewtwo is in a regular pokeball.

6IV Giratina, Lonely nature and with Pressure ability, the OT for this pokemon is SUM2013.

6IV non-shiny Darkrai, Docile nature and with Bad Dreams ability, this is a 2012MAY event pokemon.

6IV shiny Entei, Hardy nature and with Pressure ability. This legendary is in a regular pokeball.

3IV shiny Jirachi, Quirky nature and with Serena Grace ability, the OT for this one is WISHMKR, ATTENTION: This is also like the 3IV shiny Celebi above a hacked pokemon, if you want this one then you accept that it's a hacked one.

Even though it is against the rules to trade and offer hacks, this thread is just used to report scammers. You can always report someones post by using the bottom left button of their post.


Welcome to the Trade Forum blacklist. Post here if you have been scammed in the trade forums. Remember to provide as much evidence as you possibly can (including screenshots of PMs and such, note that you can use the Report button on a PM to send an exact copy to all mods), so that we can determine if the scam happened.

Also remember this is only to report scammers. If you want to know if your Pokemon is hacked, find the thread in the main forum.


**EDIT: When someone is trading a hack, it is technically scamming someone out of there legit/legal Pokemon 3:

I told him there was no Cherish Ball back then and he replied back saying it was an Unlisted Fourth Generation Event.

When I told him I sent a PM to another member who's more knowledgeable about events for confirmation, he pretty much stopped PMing back.

Description: AzrealThe2nd and I agreed to a trade of his "4IV" shiny nicknameable Zekrom for my 2011 shiny event Entei. After completing the trade, I went to check the IVs and memories as I typically do for all my trades, and the IV checker came back saying that every IV was perfect. It's fairly common knowledge that 6IV shiny legends (with a good nature too, I should add) caught in ORAS are essentially impossible, so it was clearly hacked. Additionally, he lied about the IVs, as I would never have traded for it in the first place had I known it had 6 flawless IVs. Immediately I sent a message to him saying that I wanted a trade-back as I knew it was hacked, and sent him a trade request in game. He denied that it was hacked and that it was "his" Zekrom (but did agree to trade back), denied my in-game trade request, and went offline, saying he'll "be there in a bit" to complete the trade-back. After I saw him go offline, I became very uncomfortable about doing a trade-back, as I feel very strongly that he cloned my Entei before wanting to trade-back. There was no reason to go offline and deny my trade request AFTER agreeing to do the trade-back, especially when considering he later (rudely) told me that he needed to get the trade-back done so he could complete many other trades at the time.

I'm sure he will deny any of this to the mods, as he already has to me, and of course I don't have any video evidence of him cloning my Entei. The fact is though that he clearly hacked a Zekrom he caught, and he 100% lied to me about its details (even after I told him it was hacked, he still swears it is "legit"), hoping I wouldn't notice or wouldn't care, so at the very least the hacking and lying about it deserves this report to hopefully prevent others from being scammed. Below is our negotiations, but to any of the mods, please let me know if you need anything else from me, like to see the Zekrom itself, or any of the "rude" messages that followed later (I don't think they're relevant in determining whether he's a hacker/scammer, but I do have them saved if needed).

Hey, I'm after nicknameable shinies with decent to good IVs right now and saw your post about shiny breeding. I think you might be underestimating how long it takes to hatch a shiny though lol anyway, I have a list in both the shiny and event trading thread. Let me know if anything interests you. I would also be interested in shiny ORAS-caught Dialga, Thundurus, or Zekrom that nicknameable as well

I'm not underestimated i'm just posting minimized amounts of time to look more appealing. I have a shiny zekrom out of the three you mentioned and i can nickname it since it is my OT.

Haha fair enough, just wanted to make sure it was something you didn't do before and thought it could be done so quickly. What are Zekrom's nature and IVs out of curiosity? What would you be interested in in return? And is there anything you really want to shiny breed? I have pretty much all the ones I really wanted from either my own breeding or from others here, so I'm pretty open to suggestions. Not sure if you can clone to keep one for yourself, but I'm open to suggestions if you do want to breed then if you see other things off my list you want in return

The zekrom is Naughty i believe but it could be naive i get those two natures confused a lot. I would want a special event pokemon like a 2011 legnedary dog or something in return since is soft reset for 8 days to get the zekrom.

No I understand, I've SR a few myself and they can be a pain. I have all 3 of those legendary shiny beasts from the event. Which one do you want from Zekrom? I can trade the other 2 as well if that interests you and we figure out 2 others to trade

Entei is my top priority followed by raikou, suicune just completes the set.

Cool. I would trade the shiny event Entei for Zekrom if you could nickname Zekrom "Blackout." If you happen to catch a shiny Dialga or Thundurus from Alpha Sapphire too, I would trade either Raikou or Suicune for either. Or, if you would rather breed, I would be interested in any of these shinies with good IVs (even if the IVs aren't flawless):

Pidgey, Timid, Defog egg move, normal ability
Deino, Modest or Timid
Weedle, Jolly
Kabuto, Adamant, Rapid Spin egg move, normal ability
Aerodactyl, Jolly, Wide Guard egg move, hidden ability
Ferroseed, Brave, Leech Seed and Spikes egg moves, normal ability

Pokeballs and gender don't really matter to me, let me know what you think!

Hello?

Huh?


Sorry the messages glitched and i just got a new message from you that was no different from the last. I'm ready to trade if you are, i re-nicknamed the zekrom "Blackout" its naughty with 4 IVs

Send a couple trade requests but you must have stepped away. I'm online and ready whenever

I don't see you online, what is your in game name?

Andy, just like it says in my signature lol

Do you have connection issues? it said the trade was cancled

Yeah unfortunately we're gonna need to trade back as this Zekrom is hacked

Its legit and its mine but sure i'll be there in a bit.

Excuse me, but I was about to trade him for a shiny roselia, and I'm not so sure he's actually a scammer. If he were he wouldn't ask for HA Pokemon in exchange for a shiny. I feel like this all could have been a huge misunderstanding, as shiny legendaries in ORAS CAN BE 6IV, it just takes a huge amount of luck, trial and error, and patience. I feel more investigation into this matter is neccisary.
Note: this is not meant to antagonize anyone, I just would like some more clarification on what actually happened.
