Rules

1. No Selling Accounts, Pokémon, Merchandise, etc. This subreddit does not allow the sale or purchase of any items, digital or physical. This includes Pokémon, codes, games, accounts, merchandise, and fan made memorabilia. This includes links to eBay accounts/listings or other online shops. There are other subs on Reddit that allow this type of transaction, keep it where it belongs.

2. No Trading via Direct essage (DM) or Private Message (PM) All trade negotiations should be done publicly. Trading or negotiating trade details in DM’s or PM’s is breaking the rules. The majority of scams take place privately, this rule is in place to help protect users from potential scammers. Users that have been banned can still DM you! Images of Pokémon and friend codes should remain in the comments, there is no need for them to be sent privately. The only time that DM’s are allowed is when sending sensitive information such as an event code that could be stolen if posted publicly.

3. Follow Reddiquette & Posting Guidelines This means no begging for karma or asking for upvotes. No countdowns, user polls, etc. Trolling is not allowed in any form, this includes flex posts (high value offers with no intention of trading). The exception to this is showing off completion of a dex or successfully getting magearna, both of which we support as achievements in the community! “Is this valuable” posts are not allowed. Value is subjective, if you are interested in trading something, make a post and see what offers you receive. No posts asking/begging for free things. You should always offer something up for trade even if you feel like it isn’t much.

4. No More Than 1 Post Per Hour. Posting more than once per hour will be considered spam. Deleting posts to circumvent this rule is still a violation. Trade threads and giveaway threads are counted separately for the purpose of this rule.

5. Self Promotion is not Allowed. This includes links to YouTube channels, discord servers, or any other outside source that provides benefit to the user or an individual.

6. Hack Checking Posts are not Allowed. Asking other users to visually hack check your Pokémon is not allowed. This is not an accurate representation of the legitimacy of your Pokémon and may lead to ill informed trading.

7. Threads Must Relate to Pokémon HOME. Posts on this sub must relate to HOME in some way. Trades must have at least part of the trade take place in HOME for it to be appropriate for this sub. When possible the entire trade should take place through HOME. The only exception to this rule is for events that cannot be traded in HOME or during the window after a new game is released that it is not HOME compatible yet. (Part of the trade must still occur in home in this case, if it is all occurring in the new game, then it belongs on that game’s sub). Items are not available in HOME at all and therefore cannot be traded here.

8. PSA or “Call Outs” are not Allowed. If you have an issue with another user or feel like you have been scammed, please submit a complaint to modmail so that we may handle it privately. There is no benefit to public call outs and it risks hurting an innocent user over a miscommunication. If disciplinary action is warranted, then the user will be handled by the mod team. Calling out users in the comments of a trade is also not allowed. If both sides agree to the trade, then it is not a scam. Value is always subjective and it is not our job to decide what is a “good” trade.

9. Don’t Be Rude. Pretty straightforward. Excessive rudeness or mean-spirited comments will not be tolerated toward other users or moderators. If someone or something is frustrating you, drop it and move on. If someone is being rude, report them and do not engage.

10. Hacked/Cloned/Genned Pokémon Must be Disclosed. This sub allows the trading of hacked, cloned, and genned Pokémon but they must be disclosed prior to the trade. When making a post, it must be visibly stated somewhere on the thread that what you are offering is hacked/genned or cloned. If it is discovered that you are trying to knowingly pass one of these off as legitimate, it will be treated as scamming and you will be banned. When commenting, you should disclose the nature of the Pokémon you are offering. If you unknowingly trade something that the other user feels is hacked, you must trade back upon request (this can be avoided by showing the Pokémon prior to trading so they know what they are getting).

Breaking any rule may cause you to see a temporary or permanent ban.
