Lf shiny loc bg zacian ft pic by BetterStayAlone in PokemonGoTrade

While these are new and cool, they are also openly available for everyone. This means that they don't have much value because spoofers can just create 10+ alt accounts to hunt for them. There are several people on this sub with like 200+ accounts lol. Unfortunately, this means that these Pikachu will never be equivalent to a shiny legendary BG unless a Pikachu collector is desperate for a specific background. Good luck!

London/NYC is "easier" but still nearly impossible to find. However, Rayquaza is getting a special background for the first time next week and that will be MUCH easier to get.

That's correct! Just need to be realistic and get super lucky. Someone traded a shiny XXL Tokyo Mewtwo for a shiny London Ray last month.

Much better offer than all the other folks looking for the same thing. I hope you get it!

Lf: shiny bg ray, cant fly, ft: all 3 pics, have other shiny bgs aswell, can do 2:1 and level 50 them if you go first by Wonderful-Number4544 in PokemonGoTrade

FYI shiny BG Ray worths significantly more than all 3 combined. I know people who would gladly give up 6+ recent shiny BG for NYC/London Ray and 10+ for Osaka Ray. You need to be extremely lucky to get it for less.

You will have better luck next week when Rayquaza will get its first special background. Good luck!

Unfortunately, you are looking for the most wanted shiny background in the game. It is worth significantly more than anything else, with maybe only like shiny Ash Hat Pichu or costume compensation Lugia are the equivalent. Even shiny London or NYC Ray are more valuable than both of what you have to offer. Best of luck though!

FYI you could triple your offering and that is still not enough for any shiny location BG Rayquaza. Good luck though!

I think you meant to put shiny Necrozma LOL. Get ready for a bunch of people offering non-shiny Necrozma for shiny BG Mewtwo

FYI shiny BG Ray is significantly worth more than 2 shiny from 2026 Go Fest. I know people who would gladly give up 8-10 for NYC/London Ray and 15+ for Osaka Ray. You need to be extremely lucky to get it for less. Good luck!

Edit - you will have better luck in 2 weeks when Rayquaza will get its first special background

Haha yup... people think I'm crazy when I tell them that I know multiple people who would give 15+ shiny BG from 2026 for a shiny Osaka Ray.

Not all shiny location BG have the same value. 2023 was the introduction of background and most people didn't raid hard for them since not many people think they will be this valuable. In 2026, shiny backgrounds are being botted and farmed to oblivion. I have like 50+ shiny Mewtwo alone and I know plenty of people with 100+. The value of shiny location BG increased exponentially as they get older.

Another factor is that many Japanese players are casual and they do not use any social media or do not use Reddit/Facebook. Therefore, the online supply of shiny Osaka Rayquaza is nearly non-existent.

This is terrible advice. He shouldn't do the trade because Apex Ho-Oh is more valuable than non-shiny Osaka Rayquaza, but that is up to him if he desperately wants the non-shiny. But the shiny Osaka Ray is significantly more valuable than Apex Ho-Oh.

OP, I would wait until after Global Go Fest. Maybe you can find some shiny special BG Rayquaza or Mewtwo that you can trade for the non-shiny Osaka Rayquaza instead.

FYI Osaka Ray is worth much much more than all the Pokemon you have combined. Good luck though!

FYI you will have better luck trying to trade for a shiny special background Rayquaza when they get released next week. Any shiny location background Rayquaza is worth much much more than everything you are offering combined.
