So I'm pretty annoyed with people and them under pricing pokemons in auction house just because they are breeding. How is anyone going tomake money? At ask someone nicely to up price their Pokémona bit more so follow everyone else so everyone has a fair chance at selling without the price of the Pokémon going down. This person rudely called me a child sent me a forum that even he didn't understand. Then blocked me. Like im trying to be nice and all and it seems being nice doesn't work on here.

Most Pokémon don't sell for a lot. Honestly, I put all of my spare Pokémon at 1 Starting Bid, even events. I don't need them, and someone will bid what they feel they're worth.

I just feel it's not right. I feel like they should go for a higher price if there is a chance they mega evolve or if you can breed to make them evolve

As much as I don't want this on my track record, I'm just gonna come out and say Vivien is talking about me.

I understand that I probably sounded like a stuck-up jerk (that's the most polite way to put it) and I apologize for that. I've been under a great deal of stress lately due to personal reasons, and I guess I wasn't as careful with my words as I usually am.

Again, I apologize. If you wish to talk things out in private, just let me know (by posting here or commenting on one of my feeds).

You kinda blocked me so We can't talk. And I would just rather not. I'm used to games like this having a real market going by how rare things are and what they have possibilities of doing. It makes it easier for someone to make money and buy items they need to better themselves in this game. but the market here doesn't follow anything unless it's a Mega evo or a legendary. Like really.. I'm fighting to even get 10K in poke gold just to buy the radar and what not. I've been breeding my butt off and buying pokemon to breed and try and get better ones. But with a Market of only high price Mega or Legendary it's kinda hard. And even if I am knew to this game I have played many many others. And I am not a child at all. So I don't know why you assumed I was when I was talking about RL marketing techniques. If everyone selling one pokemon ups the price and keeps it up people will HAVE to buy it that price or try and get in through the professor which for RARE pokemon is hard to do. It's easier to just buy them. COntrol the price and you can make a higher income. Females, if you notice, always go higher than males because they are harder to get. Just because you are breeding and making a lot then sure it might be easier for you to get, but not for others. Just gotta learn how to market. I guess I'm thinking people on the game would use rl skills on here, but I forget a lot of kids do play this. I just got offended when you 1. Called me a child. And 2. Blocked me for no reason.

To be honest if your wanting PD there are quite a few ways to make it.

1.Selling boxes and key's you obtain from rumbling.
2.Selling Item's you don't need to the mall shop.
3. Selling rare candies (This is needed for the rowan leveling quest)
4.Summon Items go for a good amount.
5.buying nuggets with real money and selling them.
6.The Berry Garden.
7. Clicking.

Your not going to get 20K + for a normal pokemon. they are common and not worth much.

I blocked you because I did not want the situation to escalate. And it clearly backfired. And although I have no knowledge of your age, you have no knowledge of mine (and what I consider young) either. I am fully aware of how messed up the economy is, it was like that when I got here.

I have no desire to get involved in drama, since I have enough to deal with already. I don't wish to ruin my reputation completely, so I'm just going to take my leave now. I'm sorry.

3 way's to get Rare candies. the golden slot's Plus mode need three 7's in a row, the mall battle shop there 20 battle point's each, and then Emera Square where you can buy them for 1,000 event points witch you can get by doing tasks for the Pokémon Beauty Contest & hatching bug pokemon when the Bug-Hatching Contest comes around again.

Summon items can be obtained form boxes rarely.


playing Treasure Hunt at the game center and try for mega stones.


Edit: Also selling gems you get from rumbling adds up quickly. Normal gems go for 1K each I tend to sell the rest at 500 each.

As stated by another user before, most regular Pokemon do not go for much PD. The most recognizable reason (as seen from most players) is that these Pokemon are pretty common and overall easy to get. As this site keeps growing and growing, the majority of Pokemon (over time) will become less and less 'rare', which is a pretty reasonable thing to happen, both on site and in real life situations. Less demand for these things.

Besides that point, players have a choice on how much they feel things are valued. While this may be the case, not all users will accept the prices that another player chooses. This, of course, is explained in the previous sentence (users having their own opinions on values). I see why you may be upset at this, but it's the same thing that happens in real life business.

Mega-ables are also not easy to come by. Yes, you can get them through breeding if you'd like, but another way to get them is randomly hatching eggs from the Lab. Obtaining their regular counterparts to breed them for a mega-able is pretty easy to do. As I said previously, most regular Pokemon are pretty easy to get. Honestly, all it takes is a bit of effort and persistence.

Also, lots of the time when users put a large amount of the same Pokemon in the Auction House (from breeding), they usually put them in there for less PD because they aren't really looking for much of a profit. They just want to get rid of them to users who may need them. That's what I do, at least. If I'm shiny hunting something, I put my leftovers in the Auction House in case some users really need the entries, and put it for much less so they have an easy time getting it. Most users don't care if their prices in the Auction House are lower than others for regular Pokemon. They choose themselves as to what they think is fair and what they are fine with. There is no need for them to change their prices if they are happy already with how it is.

FearlessDragonite already explained some ways on how you can get more PD, and there are more ways of gaining PD through site activities, seen here. I really do recommend you check that link out; I believe it would help you a lot. And they aren't really hard ways either.

Regards to what Mikaela said, Pokemon usually sell for a whole less than their Price check price in the AH, unless I think is a new Pokemon or something of high demand such as Mega Stones. Furthermore, as the lab eggs are technically "Free", they make money even by selling it for 1PD. A profit is a Profit. What's wrong with setting up a cheap Auction though? From what I see, A lot of rares starts at like 1k or even 1PD and ends up selling for a lot too.

Something I just noticed you said, Pokémon that are able to mega evolve in the normal games aren't the same here. Here, the ability to mega evolve is like being shiny; it's rare and not all Pokémon are like that. So selling a Weedle for a very low price makes sense, since they're not rare at all and won't mega evolve unless they have the mega evolution symbol.

You're new. It'll just take some time to adjust to the economy. No one makes money instantly. Your best bet to earn PD is to interact. You click a Pokémon and you get money, no one else is involved but yourself and the Pokémon you're clicking.
