I'm the first one to sell Pokemon from Pokemon Go here. The people that have the Shiny Level 15 legendary caught with a regular, great, or ultra ball are asking for a lot because it's a once in a lifetime catch unless they release the special research again or allow them to spawn from the Adventure Incense or during a special event. Most people just have the non-shiny version. Very few have a shiny level 15 legendary.
I only want FG, so you should be thrilled I have an extra Shiny Mew on my second account I can sell to you for 25k FG because I played with two accounts since the game came out. You want a Pokemon that requires a grind to get. The grind results in an substantial increase in FG cost. Pokemon that cannot be caught anymore also increase in value due to demand. Before I was selling non-shiny armored Mewtwo for 100 each because it's considered worthless to me. Then, some YouTuber made a video that caused an insane demand for them, people started buying them up. I have one left, but it's under a paid reserve. I got offers of desperation for it ranging from 1,000 FG to as high as 50,000 FG. Since it's a paid reserve, I am going to honor it because that's what I wrote in my Pokemon GO trade thread. Am I missing out on 900 or 49,900 FG? Absolutely not because they can release it again with the shiny version available. The same thing can happen to the Shiny Mew. If you missed out on it last time, you can wait for it to appear again in the future.
Glad to see you're not just out to spew shit. Appreciate the response. Regardless you overestimate the value and rarity of research legendaries massively. Only one that is massively valuable is research shiny genesect, and even that one isn't close to 500k. Now wild lvl 1 shiny johto beasts.. those will be extremely valuable unless re-released in future.
I've traded the 10 research legendaries I have currently this month alone, ranging from a la Reine Furfrou to shiny Deoxys in price.
It's not uncommon to see 10-12 being traded for a Shiny PoGo Mew.
Thanks for the offer on pogo mew, but that's also way above the usual prices, so will have to continue looking.
