"Your Pokemon has been sniped!"

[Basstist]

I have another question to ask. What does it mean if someone says that your Pokemon has been sniped? How can you avoid it?

Thanks in advance.

When your on the GTS and you're trading for something so then you click trade for it and it says "This pokemon has already been traded!"

To avoid it?
Well try making your request more specific (Level, Gender, etc)

or if someone is doing a give away and someone else give you a pokemon but maby without the shiny, items, or evs/ivs

Just don't put Starters, or Pokémon that are traded by evolution (eg Scizor or Steelix) because people want these for their Pokédex.

Also don't put Zigzagoon or Magikarp, because they take 40 years to find AND usually get sniped before they are found lol.

Try something like a Lombre or Banette, insignificant enough that people don't search for them, but not so insignificant that there are thousands of them on the GTS.
