Does the Froakie GTS ruse still work?

I had an actually Protean Froakie on the GTS for a few days trying to pick up an Articuno but got no bites. He had a Japanese name so I swapped him out for an English one asking for Xerneas (probably more common than Articuno). Still no bites.

Any success still anons?

Why would someone trade a legendary for a starter? Even though it has its hidden ability, protean froakies aren't hard to get at all.

People are wising up, anon.
It'd probably be easier to go for a different bird, or one of the box legends, then work your way up

Articuno is the rarest legend right now:

Zimbabwe money tier: Zygarde
Copper tier: Yveltal
Mid rare tier: Xerneas
Rare tier: Moltres and Zappy bird
Good luck with that tier: Articuno

???tier: Mewtwo

There are hardly any birds in circulation, it could potentially take a while to trade Xerneas for one.

I putted up a message of "6 IV Dittos!" and instantly got 7 Yvetals over 2 days. But when I try it again no bites anymore as well. I think people are just getting smarter to not believe our ruses

I've been trying to get a Jap Ditto for the past 2 days with GTS.

I always get english ones. They are Safari dittos too.

Use something other than ditto, or just say it has 4 IVs. It takes longer than it used to, but still works.

There is a single Pokemon that is in demand right now but I won't mention it because I'm farming legendaries this way and I want the entire market for myself

It doesn't work anymore because 90% of the people on GTS put something like "Protean", "Timid", or "5 IVs" as their message when trying to trade Froakie. No one is falling for it anymore. It's probably best to use something else, OP.
