Chapter 8
In the evening, the twilight smoke is everywhere, and the sleep is vast, and a bright moon hangs from the far corner of the mountain.
Although the scenery was beautiful, Kane was not in the mood to appreciate it, so he rode a bicycle and moved towards the largest Pokémon market in Ecruteak City.
The so-called Pokémon market is the black market. The Pokémon here is different from the Pokémon sold in regular breed houses. Almost all of them are captured by Pokémon hunters.
The merchants here are responsible for buying Pokémon from Pokémon hunters and selling them to those in need. The Pokémon battle strength here is usually higher than the greenhouse flowers in the breed house, but the price is also extremely expensive.
The size of the Pokémon sales market in Ecruteak City is also second only to Goldenrod City. Almost all types of Pokémon are clearly priced.
It’s expensive but still in short supply, because whenever someone wants to go out, they have to have a Pokémon as a bodyguard, unless you’re confident enough to fight a Pokémon head-to-head.
Kane, who is familiar with Ecruteak City, soon came to the market.
The market opens at 6 o’clock every night and closes at 2 o’clock in the morning. This is also a local rule. After all, this kind of thing is not suitable for broad daylight.
Entering the market, it was crowded with people, very lively, hundreds of large and small businesses.
Some businesses are introducing their customers to Pokémon they sell.
Some merchants shouted and sold their special Pokémon today.
There are also customers who are choosing whether they have their favorite Pokémon, and the on-site ability test is also an essential part.
Kane walked around for the main price, and he basically knew the price, and there was not much difference from the previous life.
The price positioning of Pokémon can be divided into five aspects:
The first is the difference between Regions, here is the Johto Region, then the Pokémon in this Region will naturally be cheaper if it is better. The Kanto Region is not far apart and will be higher, and the Hoenn Sinnoh Unova Region will be higher. It seems that there have been no Pokémon in the Kalos Region and Alola Region in the past seven or eight years. The key reason is that it is too far away, and the profit and shipping cost The risky tradeoff will not be how many people take the risk.
The second is the form of Pokémon. The price of Pokémon that has completed evolution is naturally higher than that without evolution, but some too violent final evolution types rarely appear. The first is that the price is too high to buy. Second, even if you buy it, you may not have the ability to control it, or you will hurt yourself, so there will be no market over time.
The third is the potential, which is the so-called Species Strength after evolution, which is the basis for determining the price.
Fourth is rarity, something like Catterpie Weedle that can be seen everywhere in the forest and the price of a Cyndaquil are incomparable.
The fifth is ability, Normal is to see how much ability this Pokémon has, and whether there is any special ability.
The sixth is the difficulty of evolution. For example, not many people are willing to buy something that requires special conditions to evolve, and no one like Magikarp and Feebas will buy it. Dead up.
According to the Pokémon in the Johto Region, the price of the original Pokémon can be roughly divided into five grades.
Grade 1: The Species Strength that finally evolves is above 540. It is priceless in the market. It will hardly appear in the sales market, and some will only appear in large auctions.
Second grade: The final evolution of Species Strength is between 500 and 540, and the price is more than 40,000. There is no specific basis. This kind of Pokémon is also in a state of frequent shortage, because it is mainly Three Founding Families, almost all collected by the Alliance monopoly, are used to distribute to their own direct trainers.
The third grade: The final evolution of Species Strength is between 450 and 500, and the price is between 20,000 and 40,000. This kind of Pokémon sells well, but it is also a working class for a year. Salary, Normal is a good family but no background to buy for their children to travel.
The fourth grade: The final evolution of Species Strength is between 400 and 450, and the price is Normal between 10,000 and 20,000. This type of Pokémon is bought by ordinary families for self-protection, and the sales volume is the highest. it is good.
Fifth grade: The final evolution Species Strength is below 400, and the price is almost all below 10,000. The main sales crowd is similar to the fourth grade.
One might think that Species Strength isn’t the only thing that determines a Pokémon, and it’s true, but as long as it’s a commodity, it needs to be positioned.
What’s the point of not watching Species Strength? Of course, if you can see the potential of a Pokémon with naked eyes, you can also choose it yourself.
If you feel that this Pokémon’s ability does not match the corresponding Species Strength, you can not buy it and no one will force you, or if you think you can train a Beedrill like Giovanni, you can make the transition Dragonite, so you can make a lot of money, just buy a Weedle.
Just remember, this is the marketplace, and all Pokémon are commodities, nothing more.
And the above price is only for most cases, such as a Magikarp, the probability of evolving into Gyarados is very small, and the price is naturally very low. Evolved Gyarados.
After getting a general idea of the price, Kane urgently needs to go back and make a statistic.
Just about to leave the market, a trader sighed changed the price of a Ditto five thousand to three thousand.
“It’s been three days and it hasn’t been sold yet. It’s a big loss for you to buy it.”
The vendor kept complaining at Ditto in the cage.
Actually, I can’t complain about this vendor. Ditto is really hard to sell. First of all, its Species Strength is only 288, which is pitifully low, and most of the Characteristic Traits are soft. Being the same as the opposite is useless, but to use Ditto means that a trainer must be proficient in all Pokémon’s Attribute Ability, how many people can do it?
Hidden Attribute “Transformer” can be changed into some real objects at will. In the following years, the famous thousand-faced man used such a Ditto to disguise and escape. It’s just that such Ditto’s are few and far between.
Ditto seemed a little bit unbearable to be insulted by the trader and turned into a dog.
Kane sneered, “This Ditto is saying that his dog’s eyes are low.”
The ability to change at will shows that this Ditto’s level is not low, and it is a hidden Attribute “Transformer” .
“Boss, I want this Ditto.”
Kane walked over to the Ditto and said.
Vendors are naturally very happy to see a customer come to their door, and Ditto quickly changes it back when someone wants to buy it.
It can be seen that this Ditto must have been abused here. Looking at this listless appearance, he has not eaten for at least a whole day.
