Welcome to the Trading Machine! This is the place to trade Pokémon with other Trainers.

• A trade starts by one person posting that he/she wants to trade and the other person replies he/she will trade. Once both people agree, they trade.
• You must have a Trade Supervisor accept your trade before it becomes official.
• If your Pokémon evolves by trading, you can use the item Cable Link (unlimited use, buy it at the PokeMart!). If an item is needed during Trade Evolution, you must buy it from the PokéMart. You can still trade evolve here for free, just be sure you buy the trading item needed and have your Pokemon hold it.
• You can’t trade your Starter Pokémon to anyone. It is yours to keep forever. You can only trade-and-trade-back to evolve it, like Machoke to Machamp.
• You can trade items, or trade Pokemon holding items.
• You can't trade any Pokémon that are participating in a current, active forum battle/contest. If you do trade, either your trade will be canceled or the battle declared over. This is done by a Moderator or Official.
• Trading for the purpose of teaching any TM/HM/BM/MT/SM's is strictly prohibited, and will result in a cancelled trade.
• Both trainers MUST post themselves in the thread. No messenger/other conversations will be allowed.
• Both trainers must post the full stats for their Pokemon in their trade post. Linking to a post in your stats is not acceptable.
• Where a mart purchase was made (eg TM Case), quote or copy the relevant purchase in your post, do not just link to it.
• Only Trade Approvers are allowed to approve trades. Attempt to make your trades as fair as possible. If an approver sees otherwise it will be put on hold and discussed in a timely manner

Trades will be approved based on this formula: (upper valued item) must be less than (lower valued item)x1.2 + 2,000

A Pokemon's value is the average Character Count of its most basic form (for example Magikarp is Easiest worth 3-5k so it counts as 4k under this system), Mart value, or 10k for any revived fossil other than Aerodactyl or Spiritomb, plus any TMs, SMs, MTs, or BMs it has been taught. Berry Store and Soda Shoppe have no bearing on trade value. EXP has no bearing on mon value BUT EVOLUTION ITEMS DO (i.e. Soothe Bell, Thunderstone, etc.). HMs have no bearing on trade value.

For example, Monbrey wants to trade a baby Charmander with the SM Acrobatics to a new player. Charmander's trading value is 15,000 (Mart Price + SM Price). The new player offers up a blank Mankey from a story he wrote. Mankey's value is 7.5k (Average Character count for Simple rank, between 5-10k).

Based on these mons, in order to be approved, Charmander has to be worth less than Mankey within the equation. However, when we do the math:

Mankey (7,500) x 1.2 + 2,000 = 11k

Charmander (15,000) < Mankey (11k)

In this case, Charmander is too high a value. Either a new Pokemon needs to be traded or Mankey needs EMs added to increase its value.

If Mankey's trainer added TM Taunt and TM Bulk up, that would increase Mankey's initial value to 12,500. If we plug that back into the equation: Mankey (12,500) x 1.2 + 2,000 = 17k. Now the trade would be approved, as Charmander's initial value (15,000) is lower than Mankey's inflated value (17,000).

Unrevived fossils (except for Odd Keystone and Old Amber) have a trade value of $5,000. Revived fossil (other than Aerodactyl and Spiritomb) have a trade value of $10,000. Odd Keystone has a value of $30,000, while Old Amber has a value of $42,500.

This is a temporary rule for now but we wanted to have something in place for trades until we finalize further. It may end up remaining, too. If you have any posted trades, please double check to make sure they adhere to this rule.

The trade value rules do not apply to trades where both sides were purchased from the Pokémart specifically to be traded.

Trade Rule Updates

Both trainers must post the full stats for their Pokemon in their trade post. Linking to a post in your stats is not acceptable. Where a mart purchase was made (eg TM Case), quote or copy the relevant purchase in your post, do not just link to it. This rule is something that has been enforced on and off over the years in the URPG - currently it is not enforced at all and it's something we'd like to step up on.

For record keeping purposes it's important that ALL the information relevant to trade is in the Trading Machine thread. Linking to your stats, particularly if they are offsite, does not record this information. First thing you do when a trade is complete is remove/replace the old Pokemon.

Hi, I'd like to use my Link Cable to evolve my Haunter into a Gengar.

My stats.

Thanks.

 

You don't have to post here if you have the Link Cable. Just evolve it.

^ That Charmander w/ Sunny Day, Will-O-Wisp and Substitute,

is going to Nerdlord for his Abra.


(Once It's Approoved)

 

Would anyone like a wonderful Pidgeot? Its a great way to start out the URPG with a fully-evolved master of the skies. All I want is one Totodile from the Mart (which costs $8k). Any takers?

 

Anyone have a spare Porygon, Rotom, or Scyther to trade? I can buy you Pokemart Pokemon with TMs.

Ok can someone help me evolve my Haunter? He is my starter so It needs to be Trade-trade-back. P.S. I don't have a link cable I'm trying to evolve for free.

 

I'll take you up on that offer. I baught a Totodile (Which cost nearly all my money.)

 

Alrighty. Totodile for Pidgeot. Approval pl0x?

 

Lord Celebi and LightningFast approved.

 

I'll Trade and trade back my Aerodactyl to you

He said he didn't have a Link Cable.

 

Sounds like a fair trade(-trade-back) to me.

 

Solid and Iridium TATB approved.

Haunter evolves into Gengar.

 

Thanks very much.

 

Anyone interested in a Magikarp? I'll take... a very cheap Mart Mon of some sort or another.

 

I have a Magikarp I need to trade away too XD. I'll settle for...well, preferably a fire or grass type, but anything is good. Remember, it shall be a mighty Gyarados in a mere 7 battles, which has stats that surpass even Swampert!
