PSA for people looking for Eternal Floettes in trade. Assume all Eternal Floettes being traded are generated. On average its 30+ hour for someone to finish ZA and the post game required to get it. Even if you speed run it its like 15hr process. No one is actually trading that away. It takes mins to generate one for free. Be EXTREMELY weary whenever someone try to get rare shiny legendary/mythical pokemon for them.
There is no way to tell difference between a legit one and one that's been properly generated. They are identical, so only thing you can do is believe in word of a random stranger who seem too keen on trading it for that rare shiny legendary/mythical.
Now they are perfectly save to use in champions so if you really want one I believe its fine to offer a shiny for it. You can likely get one by throwing a shiny on GTS for one there are people trading them for shinies on GTS, just might take some time.
At the end of the day its up to you guys what you determine is worth the trade but I want to warn people who might not understand the actual value and trade way rare pokemon for something someone generated in few mins.
