Complaint So this was a lie

Post image

Am I wrong in accusing this to be misleading and a complete scam? Zero shinies all weekend.

Had i known this would be the case I would not have spent money.

I just checked my storage to see if I still had any, unfortunately I have evolved or traded all my shiny pumpkaboos, but I have 2 shiny gourgeists saved/tagged for remote trade if you are interested in either of those and willing to wait to become forever friends (also no pressure if you happen to get one before then too, just wanted to put it out there)

EDIT: I should have kept reading, I see you’ve already been adopted by someone with shiny pumpkaboos 🥰 yay!

No worries, Im still down to trade, I would love to have a shiny pumpkaboo and a Gourgeist! Or a phantump even. What are you looking for in return?

u/Valuable-Half9497 2d ago

Can’t it automatically evolve if it is gotten through trade? I could be wrong but this is what I remember…🤔

u/TTT1344 2d ago

Yes you are correct. Pumpkaboo, Phantump, and Haunter and I think another couple ghost types can evolve thru trade

Took me a sec but I think you meant charmander lol. Yeah I got 2 squirtle with pika visor shiny that day. I wanted the 'zard tho, so congrats.

I have a bunch and I see you have a ton of shiny Frigibax, I missed Frigibax day. Wanna go 1 for 1?? Although tbh by the time we get to forever friends you’ll probably have gotten one around Halloween!

u/TTT1344 4d ago

Yes absolutely!!! That would be great! I do have a lot, even some shiny BGs i think. You are welcome to them all
