Opinions?
Thank You! ♥

unfair to their side. the balloon dog is worth half a sorbet and the hyena advent doesn't even come close to filling the gap.

some rumors have been going around saying the balloon dog & sorb are of equal value but i'd have to disagree as i've seen no proof confirming that.

here are some trades in which the pink balloon goes for a sorbet/sorb worth though
claims of pink balloon being worth a sorbet too

I personally wouldn't accept as the balloon dogs are typically being valued at a sorbet in recent trades. They also seem to be more popular amongst players recently, but that's just from observation.

lmao I've already been quoted here lol but I'm going to drop in and say I second Dio anyway. The pink balloon is worth roughly a sorbet as far as we can tell and was placed completely inaccurately on the list. Normally it trades for 0.5-1 sorbs so there's definitely no guarantee they'd trade for a sorb at all, but its definitely possible. They definitely seem to be getting more popular now people have realised it's valuable.

It's super important to remember that "worth" and valued at are two completely different things. Whereas "worth" refers to rarity, "valued at/trades for" is what people are willing to pay for it/trade it away for. Similarly please don't get stuck in the trap of thinking the list gave what a pet was actually worth; it didn't. Being a demand based list, it gave what they traded for and having not been updated it should not be used where there is alternative data to say otherwise. Furthermore it's not "rumours", the point that it's likely worth a sorbet is based on rarity change data (linked below) as opposed to a select few players' opinions.

That's either fair or over on their side, depending on exactly how you value the '20 stores. There's a bit of controversy whether they should be valued at an '11 or a '10 rare apiece, but either way a '09 VR/2 '09 rares covers it if you go by the 2:1 date rule. People like to play the "bad demand" card with draft horses but I've never personally had trouble trading them. Do keep that in mind regardless though.

If you want the rainbow draft, go for it. If you'd rather keep your stores, that's cool too. c:
