[vague ether]

@noble grail

[vague ether]

I'll also accept rare dlc shinies in place of 8 tanga

[uncut harbor]

Out of curiosity, what's your definition of rare dlc ones?

[vague ether]

Like xs or 5 star portal shinies, or anything you'd consider rare

If I already have it tho I won't accept just so you know

[vague ether]

@uncut harbor

[uncut harbor]

Icic ty for the info

[vague ether]

Np

[uncut harbor]

If you ever auction beast shalphas separately feel free to ping me if you wish, good luck

[vague ether]

If this ends up getting no bids I will do so

[vague ether]

Which would you recommend starting with?

[uncut harbor]

Pika is likely most popular due to the new megas / ranked
Mimikyu for fans of it
Morpeko is a DLC mon so I'd put it 3rd
Emolga after (XS would have niche uses in ranked)
Dedenne seems to be least popular as it has common alpha spawns in Lumiose I believe

[vague ether]

Emolga isn't xs but okay

[uncut harbor]

Yeah that's why it's 2nd last

Shalpha just for collectors or niche fans I suppose

[vague ether]

Ah, makes sense

Emolga is so strong shockingly lol

When setting this up I saw they got amazing speed and sp atk

[uncut harbor]

Current trading/auction economy doesnt favour large bundles sadly. People are either stingy or broke atm, or very saturated with shalphas.

Emolga is pretty good, ground immunity helps a lot

[vague ether]

Especially with garchomp around

Especially since I think it gets fairy moves

Wanna see some cute photos rq?

[uncut harbor]

Probably prefer using Gardevoir or Ampharos since it's quite bulky still

Or eelektross for nuking

[uncut harbor]

Sure why not

[uncut harbor]

First one looks like a cute vampire bat almost

[vague ether]

I like using an xs shiny mimikyu for my fairy, heavy hitter and all due to free swords dance and play rough

[vague ether]

I've one shot garchomp pretty often with this

[uncut harbor]

Sounds fun I've yet to try it. My old team from S1 still works very well. Except I switched in Umbreon with shields and use baxcalibur instead of Garchomp. Skarmory remains a menace

[vague ether]

If you wanna trade I got an extra

[uncut harbor]

Focus Sash chomp is pretty common, I run it over mega as well

[vague ether]

I have yet to see it

[uncut harbor]

Extra Beast one?

[vague ether]

No, an extra xs

It's in an ultra ball tho

[uncut harbor]

I see it pretty commonly, you might miss it if you're not paying attention, it's not noticeable if someone else damages it slightly.

Enough dont though

[vague ether]

Well, I always see it mega is why

[uncut harbor]

I suppose rng and we play during different times

[vague ether]

Mega gar z is gonna go 1 of two ways

It's gonna be played cause it's cool

Or never touched cause it sucks

[uncut harbor]

Ah I'm good, appreciate it tho

[vague ether]

They should've gave it the steel type, to deal with ice types and fit the look

[uncut harbor]

I still need to build my XS dream Mimi, I just prefer getting a beast one before investing

[vague ether]

Wanna just bid on the ones you want? Nobody is probably gonna bid on them all, I'll just take the highest value and start a new bid later

[uncut harbor]

What do you mean bid on the ones I want?

[vague ether]

If you want 1 of the 5 you just need to bid a 5th of minimum (per one) but I am obligated to take any bids on all 5

If you want

[proud gazelle]

You can’t take bids on individual mons if you’ve put them up as a bundle

[vague ether]

Oh okay, nvm then

[vague ether]

Is there anything against trading them to someone as a regular trade after the auction ends?

[uncut harbor]

You can always ask in #server_questions if you're unsure about rules btw

Mods look in there regularly

[proud gazelle]

Nope, you can end this auction rn and auction them individually if u wish lol

[uncut harbor]

No you cant

[proud gazelle]

Hm?

[uncut harbor]

You can't end an auction early without accepting a bid

[proud gazelle]

That’s new on me

[uncut harbor]

Otherwise people would constantly end auction and put a new one up just because they didnt receive any bids

[proud gazelle]

Fair point

[uncut harbor]

Or bids they didnt like

[proud gazelle]

Good to know, ty

[vague ether]

What stops them from just ending them after time and starting a new one with the same stuff?

[uncut harbor]

I saw you include that in your auctions as a "reserve the right thingy" and wondered if you meant that

[uncut harbor]

You can let the auction run out normally

[proud gazelle]

I only decline bids when I don’t put a minimum.. I started putting mins on every auction now.. so I can probs remove that point lol

[vague ether]

That's contradicting tbh

[uncut harbor]

Seems to be clearly stated there

Just as an fyi

[proud gazelle]

Yep just read that part

[uncut harbor]

No its not

[vague ether]

A little, cause if you can decline bids you don't like and start the same auction up again then how is that any different?

[uncut harbor]

Abusing and not adhering to the time limit is one thing, not being forced to accept bids you don't like and the auction ending normally are another

[uncut harbor]

Ask the mods if you have issues with the rules. I'm sure if you put up the same auction 3 times and decline bids that seem reasonable it might be questioned

Finding loopholes is also against it

And those become obvious sooner or later

[vague ether]

True, just think it's a tad strange

[uncut harbor]

Nobody would auction their mons if they're forced to accept shitty bids or can only auction it once

[vague ether]

Fair

[uncut harbor]

Nothing strange about it to me personally. Setting a 72h timer and ending abruptly for no reason while some people may have planned to bid on it later sucks to them.

You just gotta commit to what has been set is all

[vague ether]

Oh yeah that for sure but like, if it's to stop ppl from auctioning forever then I mean loophole exist (not that I'd use it)

But tbh, I guess they won't ever profit

[uncut harbor]

That's such an extreme example that is never even gonna happen

Nitpicking or trying to loophole is subject to moderation

[vague ether]

Fair

Nitpicking?

[uncut harbor]

Yep

[vague ether]

Wdym

[uncut harbor]

I again refer to the rules and mods

[proud gazelle]

This convo is still going on?😭

[vague ether]

Like saying their rules are bad or smth? I don't mean to nitpick if I am, I'm just saying

[vague ether]

The auction

[uncut harbor]

That's not what I was saying, what

I wasn't talking about you

[uncut harbor]

Rules are confusing to people idk

[vague ether]

Oh, then I don't follow, but I suppose that's not my business

[uncut harbor]

It's auction/general rules

[vague ether]

I mean the nitpicking part

[uncut harbor]

Your example wouldn't hold, people trying to find loopholes or nitpicking have been subject to moderation is all I am saying.

It covers people's bs

[vague ether]

Ah, so basically if it doesn't specifically break rules, then resort to common sense

[uncut harbor]

Because the rules are long as is and trying to write out every tiny thing would be insanity

[rain iris]

no1 bid on it, so why cant the guy just end the auction early lol

did auctioneer accept any bid so far

[uncut harbor]

We've been over this, or go bring it up in #server_questions to a mod

[vague ether]

I did not, but so if someone is eyeing it

[uncut harbor]

You're welcome to bid 40 Tanga + some

[vague ether]

He's the ot of the mimikyu..

Thx btw

[uncut harbor]

I mean you have 4 other shalphas there

[vague ether]

Fair

[rain iris]

auctioneer didn't accept any bid yet, it's fair for him to cancel the auction

[viscid sorrel]

thats against the rules...

[rain iris]

the auctioneer isn't "hurting" anyone in this case, so i dont see why not

[worthy swan]

Please have another look at auction rules instead of spreading misinformation!

[rain iris]

admin here to set the rules, all good

[worthy swan]

not setting any rules tbh, just asking you to read the ones that are already set

[uncut harbor]

.

[rain iris]

ye, I did, but in this case auctioneer isn't acting in a bad manner nor is anyone getting treated unfairely

since theres 0 bids

[viscid sorrel]

still against the rules. not hard to understand

[vague ether]

Hold up, random but I just learned sceptile is a special attacker 🙃

[uncut harbor]

Yes! It's quite fun with energy ball and dragon pulse

Or focus blast for ice

[rain iris]

all good, at least we all know moving forward

[vague ether]

I just learned why I don't know that, his move pool isn't too strong for it, but focus blast in za is great

[rain iris]

that's fine, there's no participation in this auction fyi

[viscid sorrel]

ok? still cant end early with no accepted bids

[hybrid dock]

I feel like these are genned since there is no catch proof + you are in a genned mons server + you can just do it on the website so no one sees it (I have no proof but I highly think this could be true since you are literally in the server)

[proud gazelle]

Still got no clue wtf a genned mon is

[uncut harbor]

A bot or site makes the mon for you, it's hacked

Genned stands for generated (afaik)

[proud gazelle]

That’s crazy.. is there a way to know if a mon is genned?

[uncut harbor]

Maybe the FAQ or Hackcheck Team have a little something written out somewhere, I'm too eepy to attempt to write out the gritty details for the long answer

Short answer, depends, sometimes and no

[proud gazelle]

that shud be bannable tho? Why do people risk their acc for that shit

[dusky birch]

Checking #blacklist and asking to see the trainer card is a good way to determine it.

Also pair with the trading rules to see if something isn’t right

[uncut harbor]

Ah yeah crosschecking Trainer ID numbers and some Trainer names like Takemi are tradebanned/genners under any ID for example, ty ZTG

[proud gazelle]

interesting

[uncut harbor]

You can definitely help yourself with that but there's so many and new ones popping up it's not all encompassing

It gets updated regularly with new finds I believe

So common sense applies, if a trade deal is too good to be true it might be.

Ie. Someone offering a shiny Latias they won from a raffle or a giveaway in a different place for something ( especially of much less value )

[proud gazelle]

I have been given a shiny Latias in one of those too good to be true trades and it was hacked lol

[barren lichen]

Same same

Guy wanted 2 extra shinies for the latias and I was like ok sure!

Didn’t know abt genned mons at the time

[proud gazelle]

I gave one shiny gastly

[hybrid dock]

Tbh I used the genned mons thing a few times too but only for a shiny guzzlord that i wanted for a long time in swsh and a shiny galarian farfetch

Good thing there are trackers that can find out if it's actually genned even tho it's ur OT

[cedar nexus]

yeah, like our hackcheck team, so if you have concerns, ask them to hackcheck

[vague ether]

None of mine are hacked but if you're worried about it then just don't bid

[proud gazelle]

Don’t wanna be that guy, but that’s not very convincing lol

[hybrid dock]

Then provide catch proof or hack check because I'm 85% sure these are genned

[vague ether]

How would I provide hack check?

[hybrid dock]

#hackcheck_queue

Probably not enough tho you would need to check who was the last person other than ot holding it

When were they all caught ?

[vague ether]

In the last few days

[hybrid dock]

What dates to be exact

[vague ether]

I can't find the form to fill out :( just sv and swsh

1 sec

Dedenne 1/23, morpeko 1/20, pikachu 1/21, emolga 1/23, and mimikyu 1/6

[hybrid dock]

Idk I really think they are genned

[vague ether]

(Mimikyu was from @rain iris)

How do I get the form to submit?

I check the channel but the link was for sv not lza :(

[blazing quest]

Can i see the front page of the mons u have and their hidden stats/labels

Forgot what they were called but the judge function with the left joystick pressed

[vague ether]

That's the bottom 2 right?

In check summary?

[blazing quest]

U can check out other auctions and see what they posted

[vague ether]

These? (Sry, I'm on the road)

I'll have the rest hopefully next stop, at least some more anyways

[worldly urchin]

Click the right stick in

[vague ether]

Oh so the best and hyper trained? K

[blazing quest]

• the very first page

Where u see the levels and exp n shi

[vague ether]

That's already in the auction post I think

[hybrid dock]

Nope

These

[vague ether]

Ye, that's in the post (the 2nd one)

[hybrid dock]

No???

U only have this in the post ???

Just send it atp

[vague ether]

Oh shoot mb

The pictures are loading, might take a bit (school wifi and all)

[hybrid dock]

Photos take like 3 seconds to load videos take long but photos should take a few seconds at most

[vague ether]

It's cause school wifi is trying to block discord but a VPN is saving me lol

All 10 are loading, also I got the last pic right before my switch died, kinda crazy

Emolga's hidden stats are still loading

Oh, nvm emolga is still loading and pikachu's 1st page is too

@me when they load

[hybrid dock]

In what world do pictures take 10 mins to load Broteinshake

[vague ether]

Ik, school wifi sucks

[worldly urchin]

Running on 3G

[hybrid dock]

10 pics are like 30mb you need to have like 50kb/s internet to load these in 10 mins you're just making stuff up atp

[blazing quest]

Tell ur school their IT department sucks ahh

[worldly urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/the-dark-knight-christopher-nolan-bruce-wayne-batman-where-are-they-gif-5103771

[vague ether]

I ain't 😭, I could probably screenshot to show you

[hybrid dock]

Brochachinopolis does not have 50kb/s internet

[hybrid dock]

You can send messages so fast but not photos balright

[vague ether]

Idk why either lol

There's still a tad bit of message lag tho

[uncut harbor]

Why are you guys pressing them so much, holy

[vague ether]

Yeah, yall are stressing me 😭

[hybrid dock]

Because it's very likely he auctioned genned mons tbh

[uncut harbor]

Depending on the phone one pic alone can be 10-30mb

[blazing quest]

Im not stressed abt the pics, im more so stressed abt their school wifi as someone who works with em

Cuz damn how SHIT is their network design

[uncut harbor]

If you have something to report you can bring it up in that channel no?

[hybrid dock]

30mb with 4k resolution normal Pics are prob around 5mb

[hybrid dock]

Do you mean #reports ? I can report it's just not 100% genned but like 85%

[uncut harbor]

I don't think pressing someone in their auction like that is the place, especially without any proof

Hopefully we can see IVs soon, because those should be generally provided in auctions

[blazing quest]

[uncut harbor]

But rushing the person when they're at school is wild, like chill a bit

[blazing quest]

Just vibe no need to stress

[hybrid dock]

Problem is he has no capture proof and is in a genned mons server and is actively using it

[uncut harbor]

then report it to the mods

[uncut harbor]

Don't argue with the person, what goal would that achieve?

[worldly urchin]

Damn that wifi really is slow 🤣

[vague ether]

Ik 😔

[blazing quest]

Plus i checked the server and they dont seem to have genned these exact mons anyway

[vague ether]

Very slow

[hybrid dock]

It has a website

Which you can't track

[uncut harbor]

Y'all I'm leaving this mess you're on your own

[blazing quest]

just wait for dem pics

Tho from what i can see

Better get those hackchecked

[uncut harbor]

Forwarded for G1itch

[blazing quest]

Thankie lucifer

Anyway @vague ether just ask da staff/peeps in #hackcheck_discussion if u need more help understanding how the queue works

[cyan latch]

Please bring any concerns to the staff team since it's not really useful to argue within the auction.
@vague ether we do not recommend submitting pokemon through the hackcheck queue **after **you've already started your auction. It's always advised to hackcheck them first, since you cannot trade them while the hackcheck is in progress.

[vague ether]

Yeah, sorry, that's my bad

[hybrid dock]

I just wanted to talk to him first since I wanted to bid on the auction but I wasn't sure if it was genned

[vague ether]

Want to @ you when they're hackchecked?

Me to*

[wild pulsar]

change the min bid and ill bid

[vague ether]

Nah, need to profit somehow
