Your Guide to 90%+ Breeding Pairs

ah, i was confused about the lines and stuff, but now it makes more sense.

Glad I could clear that up for you :3

Question, you said- If the WT is the ONLY trade on the pokemon, the pokemon becomes a VERY bad candidate for a breeding pair and should be replaced. Is this because of their long history line as you stated before, or something else?

*Edit* I have updated the hidebox regarding Wondertraded pokemon to explain this better with more recent findings in relation to using these in pairs. I hope it helps you understand better.

Suríya, my sister found a 97% pair of gigalith in the shelter. She adopted them both herself which means she's the new OT, yet they have a high percentage, I don't quite understand this.

First, that isn't possible unless they had a previous trade on them before she got them. The OT is the first person to trade the pokemon away. The OT doesn't really change so much as when you adopt it and trade it you become the first one to trade it away. The only way she would be able to get a 90+ pair is if both Gigalith were previously traded by two seperate people and released. That's how the mechanic works.

Gigalith are trade-evolved pokemon, so all gigalith found in the shelter would have already their own OT :)

you said OTs change if i got it from the shelter, but this floette ( https://pokefarm.com/summary/ys21L ) has a timeline all the way down, so who is the OT?

You are. You will be the first to trade it. The first person to trade it away is the OT.

ah. so, if it is the first to trade it away, if someone traded a pokemon to someone, and the someone released it into the shelter, the OT would still be whoever got it from the shelter?
