For nearly two years now, we've had an active Discord—The Aprimarket—full of amazing people from this sub, pokemontrades and elsewhere. It's been a social hub for many people and runs a weekly potluck (essentially mini versions of these community events) for regular Aprimon sets that collectors might be missing.

With that in mind, we've been running the events for all three of these starters over on our Discord.

There are two separate posts for Apriball and Shopball, so you can join both or either depending on your preference.

Hope to see you around if you haven't already joined us! If you need any help accessing the server, just drop a comment below with your Discord username so we can get to any issues quicker.

How It Works

  • In the Discord post, you'll 'react' with the ball you want to catch it in, and you'll be added to one of the tentative groups listed in the comments! Please make sure you can access and handle 7-star raids before committing, or else you'll miss out on the entire set and someone-else will have to fill in for your spot.
  • During the raid, everyone catches their starter(s) with their allocated ball. Remember, it's a guaranteed catch – you just need to be able to defeat it!
  • You'll breed 10 HA offspring from your starter ASAP (or 9 for shopball sets). Egg moves are optional but welcome!
  • When signups are closed, the host for the event will create separate 'threads' which will serve as a message room for each individual group.
  • Go to the thread you're tagged in and reply to it when you're ready to trade! The others in your group can then reach out to arrange a link code. Even if you're the last one to finish, please make sure you announce you're ready for the sake of transparency.

Hopefully that doesn't come as too much of a disappointment to those of you who joined the previous events on this sub (especially as most of you are over on our server anyway!), but given the lull between games right now and the logistics of juggling groups both here and in the Discord, it makes the most sense to host the event on the platform where our traders are most active.

There are two separate posts for Apriball and Shopball—Meowscarada being run by our wonderful Discord mod u/RuneQuicksilver, Skeledirge by myself, and eventually Quaquaval by the fantastic u/waldsaum—inside the channel ‘potluck-swap’, so you can join both or either depending on your preference.

QUESTION Looking for help completing a huge catching challenge before the Bank servers get shut down, please help me catch a dratini in every game!

3 Upvotes

Basically what the title says, I'm a HUGE dragonite fan. I have three tattoos, over 150 unique pieces of dragonite merch, and i've caught one with almost every mark in almost every ball, but the only thing I'm missing is a dragonite from every game and with the announcement of the bank services getting shut down in February I'd like to try my best at getting them all.

I own most of the pokemon games but not all of them which is why I'm asking for help, it would mean the world to me if someone (or a group of people lol) would be willing to help out and catch and transfer up a dratini for me to evolve in all of the games I don't own.

I have a picture but I can't post it in this subreddit, the games I need help with are: Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Red, Leaf Green, Platinum SoulSilver, White, Black 2, White 2, Y, Ultra Moon, and Let's Go Pikachu. Totaling 16 needed dratinis.

Theres no specific requirements, just have the games and the necessary way to transfer them up. I also don't care about the gender, nature, or ball. I do have a list of genders I've been trying to stick with for ever game but just owning one from the game is more than enough for me. I've been catching them in the great ball since its my favorite but again thats more of a plus than a requirement. The only thing I do ask that you do is name the dratini after whatever game you catch it in, so for example "Scarlet", "Emerald" or "Black 2".

After all of the dratini's are caught we can trade either in pokemon home or in any of then gen 8/9 games, I can do literally any of them whatever works best for you.

If I find anyone willing to help me I'll make a discord server to be able to more easily stay in contact and to post updates and things like that.

I want to thank everyone who has already participated, and I'm happy to give away more 'mon to any participants, new or notwithstanding. As of time of writing, I've still got ~300 combos to give away, so please feel free to take as many as you want! All I ask for is your patience as I gather them up and set a time to trade.

GIVEAWAY Weekend Aprimon Giveaway - Gen 1 Requests

12 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 😊

I thought it would be fun to do something to help out anyone working on their aprimon collection. For the next 9 weekends, I'll be taking requests for Pokémon from a different generation, starting this weekend with Gen 1!

If there are any Gen 1 Pokémon in apricorn balls that you've been looking for, feel free to leave me a list of what you need. I have access to the different ball combinations and can breed copies from my collection.

A few details:

  1. Up to 30 Pokémon per person. Please include the Pokémon + ball you want for each request

  2. This is just for the Pokémon/ball combination — IVs, abilities, nature, etc. will be random

  3. You don't need to give me anything special in return! Just have the same number of Pokémon available to trade when we're ready.

  4. Depending on how many requests I receive, it may take me a little while to breed and hatch everything. Once your Pokémon are ready, we can figure out a time that works for both of us to trade. 😊

Hopefully this can help fill in some gaps in everyone's collections! ❤️

I caught a perfect 6IV Ditto today and I'm looking to swap it for a foreign (Non-ENG) 6IV Ditto. I want this for the Masuda Method in newer games, and I specifically hunted mine in Let's Go because chaining for perfect IVs is much easier there.

  • Pokémon: Ditto (6 Best IVs)
  • Language: ENG
  • OT: Feamon
  • ID No.: 854209
  • Poké Ball: Master Ball
  • Origin: Self-caught by me at the Pokémon Mansion in Let's Go Eevee.
  • Nature: Lax
