As a daycare volunteer, I come across many abandoned Pokemon looking for a place to stay. One day, I see a lass yelling at a poor looking wurmple . She said"I have better bug Mon then you'll ever be." She throws a poke ball on the hard earth. Before I intervened, she was about to crush it. I replied"I'll take this little bug off your hands. If you tell me what is his nickname." She replied with a huff " his nickname is haha because that Pokemon is a joke." She ran off after that. From then on I trained him with the others who were found. We trained in the Battle château, elite four, even one on one training. I help the cute little guy evolve into a strong and capable dustox. Though sometimes I think haha now has a better life. I vow to get this little guy to level 60. Meanwhile his training is not done yet. Will provide an update soon. he will be waiting for a kind trainer for I'm a foster mom of sorts to Wonder trade Pokemon.

A trainer read a story dealing with a wondertraded male vulpix. She had a brilliant idea to help wondertraded Mon. She's a girl from hoen region with a diverse set of Pokemon to help. First off Kalos region, now she's champion of multiple regions she'll help the Mon in those regions. Battle Chateau will provide money for evolution stones. Everstone for male kirlia to give trainer's a choice. Have those that can mega experience mega in battles. Regular evolutions get some battle time. Pokepuffs for feeling the love of a good trainer. Though it will break her heart a little bit everytime she wondertrades them away. She will make them champions. She'll reveal their potential to those who think they are worthless. Though she don't know a thing about EV training or powersaves. She'll do her best to make others see the champions in them.

One day, a lowly zubat flew into a trainer's party. The little guy probably was caught and faced endless rejections. Just for being a zubat,but this trainer looked at the nickname. He was stuck with forever. She gave him food and played with him. He soon learned that she treated all the wondertraded Mon. Just like him. Then him and the others went to a castle. She battled trainer after trainer in that castle. When she flew on a pidgeot to a new place. Once there, she had him punch the most energizing bags and then the most softest bag ever. She told me if I want to stay with her then I would have to like it here. She also told me, she likes my name. Shortly thereafter I realized I could reach my full potential with this lovely trainer. I evolved. She kept her promise. So for all those Pokemon who believe their not worth it. One day, You just might find a kind trainer someday on wonder or surprise trade. True story.

Starting my WonderRescue journey today! Just transferring all my mons.

today i got a staryu in wondertrade that was named kyogre and it happened to have 4 perfect IVs he will eventually be a part of my Water gym team

I think you guys here would like to know that Linoone just became a Hall Of Famer, along with a Gardevoir, a Talonflame (originally a Fletchling) somebody nicknamed "LOL!!!!!!", a Dustox named "Caterpie", a Gogoat and a Shinx somebody nicknamed "Imperfect". All of them were WT Rescues except for Gardevoir. I'm so proud of my little Linoone!

I've been WTing on my copy of Pokemon Y recently and I came across an abandoned Zigzagoon. No nickname, Bold, level 2, with Surf. She was probably being used as an HM slave. I tried to re-trade her to her original owner but he denied my request. I took her in, taught her some TMs and she is now a proud Linoone. I've grown really attached to her and when I finally get there she will be going to the Elite Four. (I'm in Laverre at the moment, still pretty far.)

God only knows how long this Liepard has been passed around. He's clearly not a "breedject", just an Quirky level 24 Liepard in a Heal Ball. His SpDef stat is 0, but I'm going to level him up anyway.

I didn't want to just toss him back into Wonder Trade, even though Liepard isn't a bad Pokemon to get. I'm good at Pokemon Spectaculars (one loss in probably 20 contests) and maybe once he gets to be a high level and has some ribbons of his own, I'll send him back into WT. Or keep him. Sometimes I get attached to my potential trade Pokes. ;)

UPDATE: Took him on one of my Blissey-filled Secret Base battles. He's now at least level 43.

Hey everyone. This is my first post here

Last night I received a bulbasaur on wontertrade. Now I noticed he was level 1 so I checked the ivs (as usually do when I get something on wondertrade)

He had outstanding potential and had perfect 31 ivs in HP, Def and speed and had the HA

When I had a look at him though I noticed that the date of the egg received was 11/6/13 and egg hatched was 11/6/13

So here was a bulbasaur that was hatched then and had been in someones box or going around wondertrade until yesterday when I received him (date was: 6th Feb 2015) so thats a year to a year and a half :(.

So I didn't want to send him back into wondertrade or release him so he has found a home with me. :).

I don't know what our adventure will be yet but I am going to keep him and first I am going to play with him in pokemon Amie.

Hope to keep u updated :)

It started when I got a few decent wondertrade pokes, I got my Johto starter, and I realized I had forgotten to get the Shiny Beldum. So I trained Ralts, Golett, Gible, and Honedge alongside Cyndaquil and Beldum. And then I got another set of six. And another. And another. and yet another. I have like, 5 or 6 full teams. I need to clear out my boxes.

Hi all! I just discovered this sub, and want to share a little project I'm undertaking! I posted over in /r/pokemon a few days ago here. This is what I posted over there:

The past couple nights I've been playing X for the first time in a while. I have an almost living Dex (minus a few legendaries), and I haven't picked up ORAS yet, plus I'm kind of in between games in general right now, so I've just been messing around.

I have a box in the middle of my PC that are all Wonder Trades. When I get bored, I'll throw them into WT and see what I get. It used to be multiple boxes, but I kept the things I wanted, and for a while now it's been this one box.

Last night, I was Wonder Trading, and realized just how much crap is going around. So I thought "what if I did my part to make the crap a little less crappy." So I started taking those level 2 Fletchlings and Zigzagoons and leveling them up. Instead of just trading them back, or releasing them, I decided I'm going to take my box of random Wonder Trades and level them all up to 70.

Why? 70 is a pretty decent Pokemon level, and I'd be stoked to get something so high over Wonder Trade. But it leaves room for leveling and more customization. I'm throwing some TMs on as well, and trying to make it look like it's something that got more than a hatch/catch and a toss into the Wonder Trade Ether.

My plan is to level the entire box to 70, and between Lucky Eggs, Experience O-power, and not being the OT for any of them and getting boosted experience, they level pretty quickly. Once the box is filled, I'll Wonder Trade them all out, and what I get in return will start the next round.

I know these probably won't win any competitions or anything, but Project 70 is my little way to make Wonder Trade just a little bit better!

Since posting this, I've got about half a box full, and I hope these guys find a good "forever" home on some trainer's team!

So, rescuing a froakie might not seem like the best thing in the world, let's be honest. But at one point, wonder trade was flooded with froakies and charmanders because they were breeding rejects from people trying to get shiney greninja. Now, because I had nothing better to do, i held on this little froakie with protean ability trying to see how good it would become. I am honestly glad I didn't mark it off as one of these random froakies because now it is a level 100 greninja and the pride of my team. It may only have 2 perfect IVS but I love it and pride on it just the same.

Sorry if this is kinda of a meh story but i guess i want people to realize that just because you get it on wondertrade doesn't mean it cant be an important part of your team, or even become the all star of said team

I received Cabriolaine through WT while sending out Rufflets on my copy of Alpha Sapphire (trying to complete my Dex). At first I thought she was nicknamed, but then seeing she was French I learned Cabriolaine is the French name for Skiddo. One of my favorite things about WT is getting pokes from all over the world and seeing their names in foreign languages, but I didn't want her name to revert back to English once she evolved. After seeing she has spent over a year in her original owner's PC, I couldn't let her just sit in my box for Dex fodder either. I wanted to come up for a plan for her, so click onto the album if you'd like to know her story...

(I hope I did it right, I've never used Imgur before so hopefully you all can see it)

One day, I was wonder trading some slowpokes, and someone had abandoned a caterpie named Giratina plz. I took this small bug type, discriminated by my brother for his name, and beat his whole team with the level 100 butterfree.

I was an avid Wonder Trader in X/Y and was discussing my WTs in a chatroom. When I got a Doduo, I wasn't pretty excited and tried to trade it back. Alas, it had an HM move and couldn't leave my party (didn't know about putting it in the box). Its move was Fly, though. When I got the ability to use Fly, I started letting Doduo hang around the last party slot as a Fly slave for my 5-mon party. I didn't put it in my HoF because I didn't think it would be fitting.

Well, I got attached to my Doduo and started training it with Exp. Share a while in postgame (didn't use it in story). It evolved into a Dodrio, and had max EVs from all the while it stayed in the party. It's now Level 72 or so and has a really high attack stat. Just an old story of how I got a Fly slave that ended up to be a Fly slave that was a "member" of my party.

so i started a OR run, got most of the way through and reset without saving and lost everything, so i decided to do another run with a team of rejected, misfit pokemon from Wondertrade, as there was a ton of low level zigzagoons, skittys, wingulls etc on Wondertrade, i decided to make a nice rule for those obtained, one pokemon from each gen and i need atleast one pokemon that can fly and atleast one that can surf. after a couple hours i found my team. a young Treecko, fresh from an egg, a baby Chimchar, a strong competitive Jumpluff that was far too leveled, an adorable little Flabebe, a Cute and cuddly Doduo and a kind hearted Audino. not a team i would generally go with, but each have grown on me and i am certain this band of misfits rejected by their original trainers will all fight on till we are the champions.

As an active breeder in X, I constantly WTed and always got a kick out of nicknamed pokemon.

One day, I picked up a boy from Germany named Johann and he traded me a pidgey. It was caught in the wild, but never trained and was nicknamed TIBBI. TIBBI stood out to me because it was rarer for people to WT nicknamed pokes.

Anyway, TIBBI would have usually joined my parade of releases that I usually do on a WT binge, but I just couldn't add him to the list. His nickname was rather adorable and I needed a Pidgeot entry in my Pokedex anyway since I never caught a pidgey myself. I had already beaten the Elite Four by this time, but I let TIBBI experience that glory for himself because why not, you know? While too underleveled for the E4, I was during that spree that he evolved into a Pidegot and attained his full glory (with some help from the exp. share, but I let him get a hit or two in).

For all of TIBBI's hard determination against the odds (low IVs and mild nature), I want to use the Pidgeotite on him first once I get AS. I really grew attached to him.

Back in Y, I got a Natu over Wonder Trade. Back then i didn't care much about it, but i didn't have any access to natu/xatu so i kept it anyway. a while later, I started to like xatu, due to a certain video on youtube, so i dug through the pc to get the natu, calling it "Tiny Bird" due to the species name (it didn't have a nickname) I found out that its original owner brought her all the way from RSE. I made certain that once ORAS came out, i would trade her back to hoenn, her home region. But until then, i trained her as one of my "special" pokemon, and she evolved into Xatu. Now she has arrived back at Hoenn, where i am training her to be the best xatu she can be

(sorry if the story is shit, I never was very good at writing/typing)

UPDATE 1

Tiny Bird is now on her way to becoming a Clever Contest Champion. She already won at Slateport, wish her luck

Sometime during he beginning of my game of omega ruby, I got Shauna's froabble (froakie) from wondertrade.

The person never even bothered to train it, it was still level 5!

But I saw potential in this little froakie, and I embraced it

It became a major part of my team, it helped with numerous battles, and gained a TON of experience.

Eventually, he leveled up into a frogadier. He became an even BIGGER part of my team. He learned even better moves, and had great stats.

After a looooooong time, he became a Greninja! I really don't know why this person wondertraded it away. He greatly helped in the elite four, and became one of my champion Pokemon! Even now, it still helps me at level 60. I am glad that I saved this Pokemon from wondertrade, and I feel bad for the person who wondertraded it away

So a while back I posted this picture on /r/pokemon

It's 6 completely random Pokemon I got off Wonder Trade. I decided I'd run through the whole game of Pokemon Y with whatever I got. Of course I'd end up with a Bunnelby and Burmy... And an overlevel Pokemon that would disobey me for a long time. But as I went through the game, these Pokemon pulled through countless times for me. (Deino's ability making attacks miss a lot was a pain though, and Skiddo has a pretty bad nature.) I grew to like this team of misfit Pokemon a lot. I got to use Mega Charizard Y which was pretty cool. (Lucked out on that, but I guess it's not so surprising since everyone breeds Charmander.) Guess I was lucky to have my HMs covered by this team. If I didn't, I would have caught something just for required HMs but this team really worked out perfectly. My MVP was trash cloak Wormadam! Without Wonder Trade I would never have bothered to raise a Burmy at all, ever. But I have a new respect for it -- it's not the strongest stat-wise but trash cloak has a great typing and if given the right moves it can be really strong!

This is my team right after beating the Pokemon League, I'm really happy with how they turned out.

This run concluded a few months ago now but I thought I would share the few pictures I have of my team. Sorry about the presentation being kinda messy, on mobile now and imgur won't cooperate (keeps uploading duplicates and missing other images when uploading)... Hopefully it's not too bad. Never say a Pokemon is worthless. The original trainers gave them up but I raised them into strong Pokemon who beat the E4 and champion.

Right now I have since moved these Pokemon over to X (my main game out of X and Y) and the plan is to bring them to Omega Ruby (my new main gen 6 game) and train them to level 100.

I wanted to share in the story of raising a forgotten and lonely pokemon who has traveled the cords and intertubes for ages, Helplessly falling into the hands of trainers who would throw it back into the tubes, hoping for something more valuable.

My first trade gave me a level 1 Ghastly. This was obviously a breeding reject. Ghastly isn't bad. I saved him in my box. I put forth another pokemon into the wondertrade abyss. I got back an Aaron. I love Aaron. I have wanted to train one for ages. This one was also level 1. A breeding experiment gone wrong. I will save you as well.

This is where I got depressed. All i wanted was to find a neglected pokemon. This wasn't happening. I decided one last time, to put forth a pokemon in the wonderabyss. I said goodbye to Ghastly, and hit the button.

I met a woman named Gem. Her greeting, although a bit rude, proclaimed in all caps. "NEED HAUNTER" I thought to myself, whelp, that Ghastly should be put to use, that is what she wants right?

And I got an oddish. Again level 1. but... oh my. an Oddish! She needed a ghastly, and gave up a helpless oddish in search of the original ghost.

Fear not little Oddish. As your trainer loves my Ghastly (I hope) I wish cherish you. Maybe one day we can meet again, and my Vileplume/or Bellawesome right? will meet up with her Gengar and we can do battle and share training stories.

Pictures to come. I hope to get the attention of Gem, and see her side of this.

Edit: her picture still says she wants a Haunter :( Meanwhile the Oddish is now a Gloom! It has a Japanese name. Turns out it wasn't level 1. It was just a Japanese oddish no one wanted. Too bad! Mine now!! hahaha.

So, after finally breeding myself the perfect Tyranitar, i decided to finish up and give away a bunch of egg move, adamant, good IV Larvitars, and on my second trade, i get something odd: A Female Charmander, it appeared to have been from the campaign from the looks of its moves, aside from a notable oddity: It knew Dragon Pulse. Naturally, i got curious, and halted my trading to see what was behind this Charmeleon, as normally, Dragon Pulse is an egg move, and with moves such as Fire Fang and Dragon Rage, and completely random EVs, it definitely LOOKED like a typical campaign pokemon. Being the stickler i am, i decide to drag it to the judge and see its IVs. A few seconds later, i find it has 6 perfect IVs! How bizzare was it? I checked her nature soon afterwards, and realized it was Timid... And happened to notice the trainer name. It WASN'T the person from Spain i got it from, it was someone else entirely, so it evidently had been traded as a charmander, used by someone in the campaign, decided NOT to have a Charizard, and when they were done, put it in wonder trade, deeming this ridiculous creature as a garbage. So, with no time to waste, i got to work. First step was getting rid of its poorly trained stats, so after pounding on a reset bag for a few moments, she was a blank slate. After contracting Pokerus and giving her the appropriate items, i took her to fight some hordes of Wingull and Vanillite... A few minutes and some super training later, i was done, perfect special attack and speed stats, with the extra going into her HP. I gave her some congratulatory Pokepuffs in Pokemon Amie, now a fully grown Charizard, i decided what needed to be done. I looked through my bag of TMs, and choose a more appropriate moveset for such a creature: Fire Blast, Solar Beam, Roost, and Focus Blast. I had no need for taking on Dragons with dragon pulse, as I had a perfectly good Haxorus that i used instead. So, finally, at level 65, she was ready. I gave her a Charizardite Y, took her, the Haxorus, and the Tyranitar into a battle.. My opponent had a Mewtwo, a Xerneas, and a Lucario. I would NOT be outdone by these legends, so after a fierce battle, with her teammates fainted, the Charizard finally KOed the Lucario with one final fire blast. I was unbelievably happy for my charizard, and only wished the Name Rater would let me name her... But alas, he deemed her name perfect. Bummer. Oh well, she will always be THE Charizard to me.
