I don't know if anyone suggested this already, but there should be an Event or something for Shiny Wonder Trade where people will get a good amount of PD or Nuggets or some sort of prize whenever they put a good pokemon in Shiny Wonder Trade. This being an issue because everyone is giving common Shinies because everyone else is giving common Shinies and now everyone is in a loop and they can't exactly get out. For the most part I'm suggesting this because people are complaining about this issue, but more than usual.

This would be good, but wouldn't it also cause people to put in common shinies to get the rare shinies and possibly sell them for more than they would get by trading them?

I guess in a way everyone would get a rare shiny from this, but everyone that puts in a rare shiny will get something out of it rather than someone putting in a common shiny for a rare shiny anyway

No support.

• cheap way of getting some currency especially for Premium users as they can have really long chains and hatch a lot of Shinies in a single go
• simply selling the Shinies would possibly give the user more money considering that they might be worth way more than SWT will pay out, so that won't change a thing
• some Shinies are simply worth more than others
• it would push down the worth of the "uncommon" shinies and could completely overthrow PH's economy
• you don't deserve more benefits just because you're "not hunting or trading something common"

If the SWT results annoy you, don't do SWT.
A better solution to this would be to only allow a certain amount of each Pokémon to be overall in SWT, which would cause no inflation in worth of less common shinies while also making the SWT more fun. Maybe more people would participate if they knew there's only a, idk, 4% chance maybe of receiving a common Shiny.

also the chance of getting a Ho-Oh Code is a benefit for everyone who participates. its the same with wondertrade in game, there are times you get good stuff and long times you only get very common pokemon.

for me i often get Shiny Gengar or Gyarados on here but i also got Shiny Alolan Vulpix and Shiny Shellder. I don't get the complaining, since in the games there isn't even a wondertrade for shinies...its about luck like many tasks on here...

i agree with Nishinoya

no support for reasons stated by Nishinoya & Oktopi.

i personally haven't done a SWT in a while because i thought it was pointless trying for the ho-oh code but only getting shiny Gastly/Magikarp/etc. in return and them overflowing my trade box. am i suffering for it? no. in some cases, i actually ended up needing the shiny i received [for example: Weedle to finish my shiny evolution line].

I mean i'm just trying to suggest something to help benefit everyone who is so focused on SWT, obviously I don't want any confusion for people to think that I want the opposite to happen of improving SWT, but when people nonstop post feeds about how they want better pokemon in Shiny Wonder Trade I actually want to help them. So i'm just saying that you guys completely rejecting this suggestion instead of trying to improve it just as bad as saying you want better Shinies from SWT but you don't want to give up your own shinies because they took too long to get or something. That's all I have to say, comment whatever hate you want now.
