holding onto trades
So ive been holding onto some pokemon for trades but now im starting to wonder if I should cut down on them. Been saving anything thats under a certain IV, but stuff like GEN 1 starters, I wonder because will we ever get a comm day for them again? Im not sure. And stuff like dex fillers would just be for people looking to fill a lucky dex.
What do you guys do with trades?

Save stuff in the 90s for yourself and things level 30 or higher for friends. If the IVs are strong you could keep it for yourself too.
Use your judgement on what your friends might be most excited to receive. Good mons and if you know their favorites. I used to save a lot for friends but most of my friends don't really want to trade anyway. It depends on your community.
I'd say no sense holding on to Gen 1 starters. If they do get a community day return, it won't be for a very long time. No problem trading it now to roll IVs and holding onto any 100s or level 30+ 90+s or lucky.
Likewise for meta relevant stuff: why hold it when you can trade it now? My gf and I both hold onto stuff like dratini, larvitar, bagon, ralts, machop, etc... To trade to eachother whenever we are bored and try to roll Lucky's right away (and get extra candy).
The only stuff that's uselessly sitting in my bag are Pokemon from another continent that I'm holding onto to give her distance trades because I had the storage space when we were there (but she didn't... Sucks for me). I don't plan to hold them too long though, just until the Halloween event in case there's a candy trade bonus there too. Then we'll be clearing dratini research tasks and trading/transferring them.
