If you want an Absol as badly as you seem to be implying you want one, then go for it. You never know when it'll be buyable again, you never know if the Egg House RNG will ever be that kind to you. All I know is, if I had 400,000 coins, and the Super Rare of the month was Igglybuff, I'd go for it, and Igglybuff is a Tier 1 want for me.

If a Pokémon you really love shows up in the CfP, it being Absol seems like a pretty good deal to me. Why? Because:
  • the odds of you hatching an Absol on your own are pretty low
    • It's a Super Rare, so those are some pretty bad odds.
    • It's in an egg type you're only allowed to collect once every nine weeks, meaning you only get ~six tries each year. (Note that the odds of getting one are way, way less than 1 in 6.)
    • You're not an updator (afaik), so you can't buy Egg House passes with updator points.
  • If someone else besides you hatches one ...
    • tons of other people want an Absol too
    • you'll probably be expected to pay a pretty penny for an Absol (new Cable Club rules be damned)
So the odds of you hatching one yourself are low, and the odds of you getting one for cheap from somebody else are even lower. You're either a) not going to get one period or else b) going to get one but at the cost of an arm and a leg.

Which is precisely what you're up against here with the CfP. 400,000 coins is certainly an arm and a leg in FB economic terms. But at the same time, you're guaranteeing yourself that Absol (for which you have no such guarantee otherwise) and you're guaranteeing that it's the right gender too.

The only reasons not to get one, I guess, would be:
  1. you want something else even more, and are saving your coins for that
  2. you don't expect that you'll RP with an Absol any time remotely soon
If neither of those reasons holds true, then I think the choice is pretty clear. Get the Absol, have fun RPing with it, and consider it money well spent, come what may. Even if you end up hatching a second Absol down the road, so what? You can trade it in a 1:1 trade for some other Pokémon you really want. ("I'll trade you my second Absol for your Larvitar! ") Or you can keep it and have a pair of Absol on your team. Who knows.

Not trying to pressure you into the purchase, btw. You're in no rush, so give it lots of time to think it over. It's only June 3, after all. You've got nearly four weeks before you have to act. All I'm pointing out is, Absol is the sort of Pokémon which, if you like it, you want it to show up in the CfP precisely because you know how gosh darn popular it is. If it were a Pokémon like Lickitung or Stantler, one that people don't really seem to go crazy for as far as you know, then I could see why you might be hesitant. 'Cause you might be hoping that someone else hatches one in July, or August, or November, and that you trade them {stuff} for it, winning any bidding war that may erupt. But with an Absol ... good God at the sort of bidding war that that could become. Very popular Pokémon, from what I've seen.

Can either of you make battlecuts like Daisy?

Give me some time to think of something 'creative' to break the stalemate...unless either of you possess an unused Custom FB Pokeball (and I missed it in your reg post), in which case you win instantly.

Well I do have a bunch of unused FB Pokéballs... but they're all part of my own collection so I won't part of one that easily ^^; So take your time, no super-big rush Unless you got a custom Pokéball for trade Escalion ^^; If so dam u!!!! *shakes fist* :P

Sorry to disappoint you but I don't have a custom ball either.
And even if I would have one, I think I'd rather take my chances with Skitty and taking the opportunity to possibly get some sort of background

So, I have a cute little baby male Spinarak, here. I'm somewhat inclined to keep him, since I adore spiders, but I don't want to stand in the way of someone who would really like a Spinarak of their own. Also, I think PG hatched one, too, so if he wants to trade his, I'd rather he make a profit.

All that said, if there's someone who really, really wants a male Spinarak, then by all means, let me know~

You should ask PG if he wants to swap. Lady friend for Taran! ;D

D'awww, that would be adorable... Though Taran does have a bit of a crush on Sakura (but don't tell anyone).

Oh really now? If so, then maybe keeping the male would be good. Wingman! XD

Bidding for Frillish will remain open for another four hours. So far, jj remains the highest (and only) bidder at 1 Candy. In the meantime. I'm just gonna leave this here... Just for decorative purposes, totally not a whimage...
