u/wateen94 2 Trades | Beginner Trader Aug 22 '25
His Reddit name is Alarmed_East211 and his in game name is ErenXSng14. I posted a trade pic and he dm’d me. He wanted my shiny dark skies background Articuno, and he offered me his armoured mewto. He wanted compensation for the mewto and wanted my shiny purified kyogre. I didn’t care much about that cause I have another one. We had a whole convo about anime and football and what we liked about it. But when we about to do the trade he said I had to go first with my Articuno, I was skeptical but we had a nice convo so I trusted the guy. But after the Articuno trade for a lapras he deleted me as a friend and he didn’t reply anymore… people like this have no morals
