I use the GTS very actively.
I've had infinitely more luck with depositing Pokemon and asking for something in return than I have searching, but I've found a handful of things through searching, too! I traded a Spiritomb for a shiny Scrafty a while back. And if it weren't for the GTS, I wouldn't have all of the Pokebank mons that I do. A friend gave me a Tepig, and I bred it, and traded the Tepig off for other starters that were being asked for that wanted Tepig in return, and bred those and deposited them in to the GTS asking for other pokebank mons. I was able to get all of the Gen 2-5 starters in only a few hours doing this, and have got the rest of the Pokebank mons (not legendaries) this way, too.
Spiritomb was my lucky mon for a while, I'd deposit it and get just about anything (reasonable) in return, but lately I've been depositing Castforms and Tynamos and asking for evolved Pokemon. I've gotten Kingdra, Slowking, evolved fossils, Weavile and a bunch of others through this method. In my experience, most of the Pokebank mons only want other pokebank mons in return, and maybe it is taking advantage a bit, but if you're not going to use those evolved Pokemon for battle and only want it for your dex and want to trade it for a Pokebank mon that you can breed and deposit, etc, it's more helpful in the long run, imo I traded a Tynamo for a Rhyperior a while ago (as in, the Rrhyperior was up for trade and wanted a Tynamo in return. Boom!) Pretty much it comes down to that I am lazy and don't want to take the time to evolve them myself sometimes if it's something tedious (I always put 'any' for gender and level, so that probably helps, too.)
I'll just wait for Bank to be released to get the legendaries. It's so annoying that 90% of the things wanted in return are legendaries. I am glad there is a way to filter out "special" pokemon, but it seems to only apply to Xerneas and Yveltal. It's so annoying sifting through 50 mons that want the birds, etc. I really hope they fix this eventually :/
The level thing is really annoying too. Yes, I will certainly give you my level 94 Sylveon for your Joltik...:/ And tbh I don't really understand why people want such high level pokemon? I mean the obvious thing is for battling, but isn't the whole point of pokemon to raise them yourself and stuff? Idk maybe I am just picky
