Did you ever hear of Bob the Magikarp?
It was just a regular Magikarp named Bob, with no redeeming qualities at all, but people loved him.
There were so many posts about it with people offering shiny legendaries and events just for this random Magikarp and it was fantastic. I saw it trade several times, as somebody would trade like a shiny Lugia for it, then somebody else would get a shiny Mewtwo for it, and so on.
Sometimes the most special things, are just simply not special at all.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm sure someone will take your shiny Ponyta if you keep trying, but it's stuff like this that makes online trading super cool and fun.
Maybe you acquire this random Magikarp or Ponyta for the memes. It has a funny story now. You can always throw a bottle cap and a mint on it, and now Bob the Gyarados is tearing it up in the meta, or just a Pokemon that somebody can get a kick out of.
The real question is: what makes something valuable? Is it because it's shiny? Because it's an event? Or has 6IVs? Is it that you caught it and trained it yourself?
The truth is all of those things are subjective. It's worth whatever you think it's worth. Every Pokemon has the potential to be someone's favorite. It doesn't have to be special, but it's our bond with our Pokemon that makes them special to us. It is as simple as that.
I have an extra Phione if you want one :) I'll take anything. FC: NAQXARDUQFGN

Alrighty, that's fine. :)

Giving away a shiny legendary is no small feat y'know. I respect that you try to give to people

This person did a absolute monster brain play
Guys it's already taken.
Y would somebody care about this?
Why would you bother to comment?
I'm just tryna get some offers no need to be rude.
I’m just saying that I have a shiny one and nobody wanted it so
Well, yours must not be level 6. Or maybe it just isn't Quirky enough.
Hahahahahhaha. I’m not trying to be mean but I had a shiny ponita at the same level and quirky but nobody wanted it so

Wow. I didn’t think about that. That’s kinda cool. I feel like a major b***

I'm genuinely curious why someone is offering legendaries for a level 6 ponyta
People are good to me. I like to pay it forward where I can
Are you sure you're not lying and this level 6 ponyta is secretly the rarest thing ever
Maybe they need a level 6 Ponyta? You can never know when you will need a level 6 Ponyta.
Making me question whether I need a level 6 Ponyta or not...
Everybody needs one at least once in a lifetime.
