So a while ago I rescued a few shiny Smeargles from a copy of Black V2. Clearly the previous owner was trying to get the perfect shiny, shiny hunting Smeargle. Too bad their final result was washed away by Home not keeping the move set.

However, they are still perfectly good shinys… and I didn’t really need shiny Smeargle (I had my own already) so I tossed a few into the GTS asking for Furfrous in hard to get hair styles.
Now Star Trim, or even Kabuki Trim I expected to find at least 1 match to trade for, but shock of all shocks I got a Pharaoh Trim. That Trim is exclusive to Egypt in Pokémon Go making it super in demand for dex Completionists who want to register all 10 forms.
I mean Smeargle is pretty good in competitive, the signature move Sketch makes its potential move pool vast. And despite the better shiny odds in recent games, shinys are still relatively rare. Even rarer to see them in the GTS.
I’m just actually gobsmacked someone would give me a high demand pokemon (usually offered in exchange for legendary or mythical pokemon) for a level 1 Shiny Smeargle one could easily get with 1/512 odds with the Masuda Method.
