I never thought watching PokéTubers surprise trading would be so much fun, but I've been really enjoying this series.

[@arismarriner23]

Surprise trading sure is a surprise. You'll never know what you'll get, a shiny, legendary, magikarp, a hacked pokemon, one from an older game (like DS era/GBA/GB era. It's a mixed bag.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Always so fun to see the statistics that you get out of this! It's really neat to see it from an entirely offline perspective without the influence of a stream chat. And, YES, Pokemon mail needs to come back!! They could limit it to just positive messages or something idk

[@Zerobeat2004]

I imagine if they did do something like that, it’d be similar to the stickers you can send with gifts in Pokémon GO.

[@thepokekid01]

It would be so funny if TPC released the data and was like "We get weird spikes of magnemite for some reason"

[@PLANETFINable]

“I like to give pokemon very formal human names” I gaze at the same wumple suddenly on screen and think “he looks like a Fred”, and then hear CandyEvie name him Frederick. I’m glad we both agree!

He looked like a Brian to me.

[@primepikachu5]

The reason timezones made a difference this time around and why you got your own Pokemon sent back to you in BDSP is because in BDSP there is a pool of stored Pokemon that gets traded instantly to make sure people don't have to wait for wonder trades. So somebody could trade their Korean Pokemon 2 weeks ago and you get it 2 weeks later in a wonder trade.

[@Kostyurik]

Huge props for Lucy not only for doing 1000 trades, but actually nicknaming them all. Mikey from MandJTV tried the same thing, but he only made 400 trades and only had patience to nickname like 10 of them ;-)

Jack, Hello there!

[@imalltheragex2000]

One of my favorite small details/event type things that can be overlooked easily, is that on the dirt path to the outdoor cave-ish area that has a tera Garchomp just chilling on one of the rock pillers, if you are going down that path at night you might see two Sableyes running up or down it (I saw them running down the path towards the cave and fallowed them there cuz Sableye is my favorite pokemon so that scene was just precious to me). I think this micro event only occurs before night time is ending so it's like the Sableyes are running back home to the nice somewhat dark cave :3 don't know why I'm mentioning this here I just thought it was neat when I saw it happened

[@PKMNResearcherSkyler]

I've seen them, they're super cute. I love it when Game Freak puts little details like that in

[@StickMaster500]

How you managed to not get any hacked Pokemon during these Surprise Trades baffles me!

[@Candyy248]

I barely got hacked ones too but I did not do 1000 trades (not even close to that but not close to 0)

[@PurgatoryProductions1]

i think she did it before home connectivity

[@WillowStarshower]

[@bluestar_725]

Fr, I've only used surprise trade a little and my 3rd ever trade was already a hacked shiny flutter mane

[@ginjiaus]

It took a while before the bots were updated to support SV, given the time frame in the video (1st Dec for box 23) bot support wasn't there yet

[@bluelunala]

one of the reasons for quaxly being so low in the stats might be that meowscarda and skeledirge are much more popular in competitive. while quaquaval pretty much having free dragon dances can become strong, skeledirge's unaware + torch song and meowscarda's protean + guranteed crits are much more immediately useful in battles

[@daniellejackson6543]

8:57 You can get a second koraidon/miraidon, which can be traded. And you can surprise trade the 4 other legends.

Candyevie definition of quality over quantity

[@dallasjones523]

When the starters for scarlet and violet were first shown, it sounded like everyone wanted quaxly, some people liked fuecoco and nobody wanted sprigatito or at least didn't want sprigatito to stand up. Kinda seems like everything changed after the games were released, everyone chose fuecoco, some people liked sprigatito and nobody wanted quaxly.

[@raydonahue8304]

I've been trading for weeks now and still haven't gotten a quaxly

[@dallasjones523]

@@raydonahue8304 I know right. Took me forever before I found someone to trade me one.

[@alexy5611]

Fuecoco is slightly more popular than Sprigatito, but out of the final stages Meow is the most popular

[@dallasjones523]

@@alexy5611 I mean you say that and your probably right but, I still feel like I see way more people with a skeledirge then a meowscarada. Probably just because its a more popular choice for tera raids though and that is probably because of meowscarada's terrible typing.

[@captainlubey]

I wanted Sprigatito up until a few days before release and then I changed to Fuecoco. Now that I've completed Violet I'm going to pick Quaxley for my Scarlet playrhrough because I liked its final evo more than Meowscarada. But I agree, poor Quaxley 😭

[@mattsighs]

As someone who picked Quaxly as his starter, I have all the love for him, that everyone else doesn't have! Sweet handsome boy.

[@BlueSodaPop_]

I always enjoy catching a bunch of Haunters and surprise trading them for people to get the trade evolution, it's just kinda fun

[@chaossalad3243]

Getting so few Quaxly doesn’t mean they’re unpopular. It means they’re so popular that no one wanted to give them up

[@sebastianjessup8510]

I was going to say the exact same thing! Even though I didn't choose Quaxly, I still think it's cute.

[@wildhunter939]

Quaxly is great it’s just the rest of the line I don’t care for

[@woomynation]

It means people aren't shiny hunting it (the final evo doesn't have a good shiny). The main reason people wonder trade starters is after they finish shiny egg hunting

Being the only one in my friend circle who chose Quaxly, it is kinda sad that the lil guy fell behind so much in popularity compared to the others. But that also meant I had the easiest time getting the other starters in my game because everyone wanted a Quaxly from me lol

[@kanseethehootz551]

8:33... MAN I can relate. Other than Miraidon, Quaxly was literally the last evolutionary line I had to get to complete my Pokedex. I was able to get EVERYTHING ELSE I needed from Wonder Trading. I don't know why... it's my second favourite starter from Gen 9!! 😭 Though, I guess admitting that makes me part of that problem doesn't it?

[@IsaacXDGI]

You' should be able to get them trough Pokemon Home when home support comes out

[@kanseethehootz551]

@@IsaacXDGI Oh, no I already got them by the time I posted that comment. Quaxly's line WAS the last one I needed though, which I found really strange. I guess people like cats and round boys more though.

Hi! Spanish speaker here. Yes, pokemon games where only released on European Spanish and that bother us because words in spanish Europe can be offensive/funny/wtf for us and vice-versa and they finally comfirm that they will bring Latino America spanish to pokemon games. Just a example: "coger" in European spanish means "grab" "Vamos a coger a Sylveon" "let's catch sylveon" But in Latino American Spanish "coger" means... well "f#uck" xdd

[@TooDankBro]

lmao I have to stop saying coger 🫣

[@ismaelswaggie5564]

It's a shame this would've been a nice bonus. In the games's code, there is a new Ribbon called The Once in a lifetime Ribbon that would have a 1 percent chance to be on a Pokemon when Surprise traded. Unfortunately it's unobtainable right now. A few Pokemon would have it if that wasn't the case.

[@ctcdreamer]

Considering I’m very old school Pokémon and Charizard is my favorite Pokémon since I was 4 years old (I’m in my mid 20s and it’s tatted on me), I have kept every single Charmander I’ve gotten and I was quite surprised how often I received them in surprise trade considering they aren’t in the dex. Your explanation literally explains it! I traded a bunch of houndour from the cave you first meet Koriadon/Miriadon.

[@8bitdino]

hi ! i believe i was the first person on your live stream to match up with you, and i want you to know that your little guy is being taken care of,, i also did a video (inspired by you) wonder trading 1000 pokemon in this game, and it was really fun to compare stats !!

Great job trading all those magnemites. Although one would think that "CandyEvie" would trade 1000 eevees at some point XD. But I guess Eevee is harder to get.

Hey!! I wonder traded 45 rowlets on Violet yesterday and got two promotion shinies, a shiny Quaxly with a XL Exp candy and a shiny Iron Hands with a booster energy. If you trade later in the day when Americans are awake, you have a higher chance of getting these! (Say about 3pm GMT)

about the spanish UE, yes the next pokemon game is going to have latin amerin spanish they said they are making translation in latin american spanish, but scarlet and violet was only in european spanish because the translation team got hired late for the scarlet violet translation

[@TunaBear64]

That's good to know, Latin America went from "this is just a minor inconvenience" to "this is a big deal and we are considering not tagging the games kid-friendly anymore"

[@Doodle128]

Logically, wouldn’t sprigatito and fuecoco being traded mean that people who picked quaxly liked it so much that it was the one they were least likely to trade away?

[@nharviala]

I'm not surprised by the starters. Skeledirge and Meowscarada have solid places in competitive, while dancybirb is far less utilized.

[@patbilek692]

I choose to believe that people didn't trade quaxly because they have good taste and love the adorable little duck guy

[@redshiftproductions7158]

So I've been playing a lot of Scarlet and doing lots of Surprise trade to fill up my dex as I don't have Violet and a second switch. I think the reason why you've been getting to many Fuecoco and Weed Cat is because they are popular in competitive so lots of people are probably breeding them to get shinies for the ladder. I've been trying to pay it forward and trade version exclusives, starters, raid pokemon, and eevees with evolution stones or sooth bells so that other people can finish off their dex of eeveelutions faster

[@talbotbluechel2102]

The rarity of Quaxly in surprise trade nearly drove me crazy. I was surprised trading religiously for 2 weeks trying to get one. After I finally got one I decided to spam out some Quaxly in surprise trade. I would breed a brood of ducks every time I logged on and trade them out to make Quaxly a little easier to find on wonder trade.

[@sebastianjessup8510]

Quaquaval is still good in competitive. I think the reason you got very little Quaxly is because there are WAY less shiny hunters than competitive players for that line.

[@Lokear]

I didn't pick Quaxly myself, but when I heard how unpopular he was, I started breeding them just to send out to other people using the universal trade codes. Operation Ducks-4-All didn't last too long, since I had other games to play too, but I might start it back up again sometime, idk.

[@LockheartCrow]

When I was doing a fair bit of wonder trading (excess Masuda method hatches) I stumbled upon a shiny Froakie, which was named a website I shall not say the name of, and was holding a master ball. Despite Greninja being one of my favourite Pokémon (especially it’s badass shiny form), I released it, and threw away the master ball, hacked Pokémon aren’t cool.

I didn't notice they changed to specify the games were in european spanish. It's interesting, because as a kid growing up in Quebec (mostly french speaking province in Canada) all of our Pokémon games were in English until SoulSilver. At this point, instead of having the classic north american games rated by the esrb, we had the French versions from Europe! It was really awkward since we had learned all the names in english. I remember hating it. Of course now you can choose whatever language but I still have weird memories of playing that game in french. Ah, also back in the days the Pokemon cartoons were dubbed in french with the english names, can't believe we got our own version from french speaking people in America hahahaha! Anyway, nice content as always, cannot wait for the next games so you can trade another thousand Magnemite!

[@mrrfyW]

On Christmas Day I traded a bunch of Litten in Pokémon Shield but I didn’t bother to check any of the stats of them since I was originally shiny hunting and wanted to see what I’d get from doing a bunch of surprise trades even after ScVi came out. It was pretty time consuming but at least I traded around 5 boxes of unnamed Litten for people to enjoy!
