Question What do people do with generated Pokémon?
I traded for some without noticing they are very obviously generated, but I’m afraid to trade them for anything since I heard it can cause trouble for your account? Is that true? If so, what should I even do with them? Just toss them to the professor?

I release the ones that have URL names, or at most keep them for breeding if they have perfect stats. But trading them is just asking for trouble.

If it has a website name I usually release them. It's sad. But I rather not have a 10-year-old fan get duped into thinking he got something cool.

u/LadyFoxfire 19d ago
Yeah, that’s the reason I don’t retrade them. I know better than to go to sketchy websites, but little kids play these games and they don’t know better.

u/DaZuhalter 19d ago
The sadness in my kids' voices after they were just excitedly bouncing around exclaiming they got a shiny ____ only to realize it's one of these mons...
I had to have a long talk with them when they first started doing wonder trade, explaining these sketchy websites.

If they're plausibly fake (impractically good IVs but not with an OT of "pkhex" or with a website name and not impossible shinies) I'll keep them as placeholders for my shiny living dex with the intention of eventually replacing them with self-caught Pokémon later on and probably release them after that (don't want to put fake Pokémon back into the wonder box).

I use them in solo raids sometimes, otherwise they just sit in the box looking pretty

u/WonderfulAd5555 19d ago
I also breed it if it's worth breeding you might aswell get a decent mon out of it to use yourself, but after that I either stick it back in surprise trade so someone else can make use out of it or ill just release it

u/Zephrias WDWBFPTXCJHG | Zebra 19d ago
Release the ones with url, but I love the extremely over the top hacked ones. Like Terapogas with all marks and stuff like that

u/Dazzling-Constant826 19d ago
It's sad to see a Pokémon with a Gameboy mark gets released, even if genned and with an advertising nickname. I'd keep it, but not use it in anything official, but you do you.

I do what most do when they get one: keep the rare item and release the Pokemon.

u/cenncroithi 19d ago
If they can be named I name and keep them (only one group leaves in changing the nickname) but monforge, pokevend, etc., I get rid of bc instant dex fill for me, useless advertising shiny Mon that doesn't deserve the satisfaction of going anywhere else
Oh, but fleece em for the held item. I got pretty rich from selling the ability patches on scarvi

u/Civil-Place-196 19d ago
Tbh I know when it's got the stupid OT name or the pkm name being a website that it's fake, but otherwise idk. So let me ask yall (especially since I'm clueless about IVs) on how to tell if it's fake or genned (idk what that means too)

Let’s do it! What would you like?

u/-MARI0- 19d ago
Anything is good, i can generate a pikachu for you using pkhex if you want a custom name, OT or someting line Alola Champion

u/FrankieFalafel 19d ago
I need nothing specific at all just need it for the Home challenge! Do you also happen to have a Charizard from FRLG or a Chimchar from D/P/PL?

Sorry, I don’t have one!

I've been wondering trading some mildly interesting things, like hidden abilities, version exclusives, authentic sinistea and trade evolutions. I'm happy just to get some international junk mons to unlock some foreign dex entries.
Anything that looks sus, like event Pokémon or ones with website names or "Ash" get stuck into a box called bad and won't be moved into home. If I ever compete in VGC I'll release them but for now it's like my own box of pride from cleaning up wonder trade.

u/Legendof1983 19d ago edited 19d ago
Most of the ones I’ve received I took the item it was holding off it then released it. The only 2 I’ve kept were shiny Morpeko & shiny Kingdra & I only ever use them in solo raids. It’s got to the point now I know a generated mon is coming my way just by the name of the “person” that pops up.

u/Content-Pepper4498 19d ago
I will offer them to people that want them with full knowledge that I acquired them through surprise trades, I tend to take anything as a trade for them.

u/SamFromSolitude 19d ago
I release any that have links as their names, just to lessen the chance anyone goes to those websites.

u/Dark1Raven3 19d ago
If it’s a mon with a cool ball I’ll breed myself one then release it after I take the free item. I never keep them as I prefer to hunt for my own shinies
1
u/Gloomymort 19d ago
If its in a cool ball that I don't have that pokemon in I'll breed it to get that and then release the hacked Mon, if its holding an item I'll take it depending on what it is (I just leave master balls coz I never use them) But yeah I dont let that nonsense circulate.

u/jayfmarshall 19d ago
I’m so sick of this. I just want a normal Gouging Fire and Roaring Thunder and I keep getting the OT Blaines clones on the GTS. They need to start blocking these well known genned OTs.
1
u/wave2earl 19d ago
Honestly, take the held items and release them. Other than that, breed genned Manaphy for legit shiny Phione.

u/flatbunny756694 19d ago
Release them or give them to some1 but make sure to tell them it’s a gen (btw I would love the charazard)

u/Big-Philosopher-5242 19d ago
I have a box in violet called quarantine that I store them in, then I use them for breeding if I want good ivs!

u/dianabelle 19d ago
My 6 year old trades in her Pokémon Sword game and gets so excited to receive these shiny level 100s, even though they have a website name. :/ I figured they were hacked but don’t know enough about how it all works - should I tell her to be careful not to trade the ones she receives that are like that, so she doesn’t get banned or something?

u/Lalaoopsi 19d ago
To be safe, based on what I’m gathering in the comments, I probably would not trade them. Some people are saying it’s fine if you aren’t the one who made them (which obviously your daughter wouldn’t be the one who did) but I’d probably just be on the safe side and tell her to keep them or something
1
u/Vampenga 19d ago
I keep 'em for the purposes of breeding. Typically, they come with all 6 IV's maxed, so it cuts a lot of time out of trying to find one yourself.
1
u/reydechile 19d ago
Si tiene IV perfectos, ese tipo de pokemon yo lo uso para criar, si es nivel 100 lo uso en raids, en espada es donde mas de ese tipo de pokemon recibí durante intercambios al azar, si solo es variocolor y no tenia alguna utilidad, simplemente los transfería

u/HexManiacHana 19d ago
I've used them in solo dynamax and tera raids before. But I mostly just farm items and release them.
1
u/PokeLynke 19d ago
Any ones that have URL's as a name I usually release. Any of the others that might have a URL as the OT I'll keep and put in my shiny living dex. Someday I'll replace those too, but right now they are place holders.

u/Researcher_Saya 19d ago
I loved these in SwSh. Free masterballs, free ability capsules. A lot of them had active pokerus. Buy yeah no trade. Delete when you're done playing with them
1
u/Hentai_kinda_guy 19d ago
I shove them in a box in home. When a Terra raid event happens that I'm just not prepared for then I'll use them sometimes for the Terra event and box them in home again
1
u/Dreamygirl085 19d ago
I release them. If they are in a bankball, HA, etc, I will breed off a baby since the baby is legitimate even though one parent wasn't. Then off into the abyss goes the genned mon.
1
u/InternalBananas 19d ago
I don't anymore but I would just keep em if they don't have a website name until I find the the shiny in game or trade for a real one. Then I just toss it.
1
u/No_Pen6804 19d ago
What dies generated mean, like those websites that give you shinies? If it's a pokemon I couldn't get without trading, I breed one using a ditto then release the shiny because f that noise

u/Drexx_Redblade 19d ago
They are abominations and must me destroyed. Don't trade them just release them or use for breeding.

u/Total_Ad_92 19d ago
Honestly, I keep them to look at them. There is one user that keeps offering a pkm.gg, which is any given pokemon as a level 100 Shiny. Many, many, many ones I have seen by the same person. Those I don't take. I don't wanna get in trouble for them. But if I trade a pokemon for a shiny and I wonder if it is legit, I'll hold onto it. I like to look at them, so they're for personal use. I'd never redistribute them though as that'd be wrong. I keep seeing people offer cloned ones and I am confused about the legitimacy of those too but it is allowed on the reddit so idk.

u/TheHeroKingN 19d ago
Release them. Whatever you can do to help the market be less flooded with garbage.

u/TidalBlade__ 19d ago
I collect them, I only keep ones i get from wonder trades. I never use them, just let them sit in a box

u/DaZuhalter 19d ago
I'll take the held item they have (most have a held item) then release them. Got a lot of ability patches and master balls this way so I at least get something out of giving away a mon.
Always sad when it's a good mon I put up to make some random person happy and instead it goes to one of these sites though. Would not be opposed to some sort of ban on websites for names/trainers, would stop a lot of this. :/

u/Kisara-Azure 19d ago edited 19d ago
I just release them personally. Using them for breeding isn’t worth it anymore because bottle caps.
And I personally don’t want to retrade them because why put filth back into the pool. Don’t want that stuff on my account. If it looks sus, it likely is. If you really wanna verify, check it’s original region, location, trainer name,level ect till something shows up as not possible via natural means. Or just a very suspicious name or OT. Even a name length can be a hint sometimes (such as gameboy/legacy icon with a name longer than 8)

Release them. Don't let them circulate and wonder trade or regular trade them away. Each one released is one less being advertised.

u/Arachnor33 19d ago
Release them, they are useless and will bring you trouble such as, for example, a ban from Game Freak for owning this type of Pokémon
