Single post in PSA: Type Race threads are NOT for trading.

I also believe that a large amount of confusion/opposition is coming from the fact that we're allowed to offer to lend out our pre-existing pairs in a type race thread, but not to give away or ask for extra pokemon to make our own pairs with. By the exact letter of the rules definition of trading/begging, it makes sense, but by the "spirit" of the rules, they're all "trade agreements" made to help your teammates to breed more eggs, fill the shelter, hatch more pokemon and score more points. As I mentioned before, it's also very confusing to me that the very-functionally-similar Shelter Passes and Egg Supplier Passes are treated differently, with one being an exception and one not. The suggestion I made to allow Supplier Pass lending in TR threads has gathered an astounding amount of support, with 71(!!!!) upvotes and counting, so I know I'm definitely not alone in feeling this way <3 EDIT: Genuinely, thank you so much for the clarification. And if I could ask for a little bit more clarification: would posts along the lines of "I have free regular [x]-type Pokemon to help you make pairs with, please PM me for them" be allowed in type race threads, or would that be considered a better fit for the trades forum? Asking because the only "exception" in the rules only mentions shiny/albino Pokemon, and not your run-of-the-mill regular pokemon for breeding pairs.
