Please, post all your requests and questions here. I explain why in the FAQ.

Self-explanatory.

Just make sure you can pay for them in a reasonable amount of time.

This way I won't have to chase you through PMs or wait for your response for days in case I need to ask you for a clarification on your order or something.

I reply/send trades ASAP (usually within a few minutes since you post if I'm online). If I don't, however, it means that I'm either busy with something or simply asleep. And no, posting here again or PM-ing me won't speed me up. One notification from my Trade Shop is enough, really.

It's yours, after all. I can only say that I wish the Specials you buy from me (especially Melans) aren't exchanged for DPs.

If something isn't clearly labelled as such it means that I don't want to sell it, simple as that.

Including (but not limited to): writing multiple posts in a row instead of editing your first one if I didn't reply yet. And making ridiculous offers (such as "Can I have your cool Melanistic Bunbori for 5 GP?").

Be sure to include what you want and how you are going to pay.

Use one of the following BBCodes, whichever you prefer:

Please, send the whole payment in it.

Otherwise I'll keep it for myself or release it.

The exchange rate I use here is: 1 ZC = 5 GP = 5k Cr

Please, don't upvote anything yourself.

Go to the Trade Centre (btw it's a page worth bookmarking by clicking on the "More" button on the NavBar). Or open the direct link to the trade from the notification you receive when I sent you one. Most options there are self-explanatory but if you're unsure what to do, check the Wiki. You can also send a Pokemon in a trade directly from its Summary (Click on the 3 lines menu -> Send in Trade). It's way faster and useful if you're trading a lot of Pokemon to one person (eg: during a Dex Trade). That's also why people always ask for the clickable links to the Pokemon (more on that below).

If you click on any Pokemon's name you'll open its summary page (example). This is the page you need to link me in order for me to send you the Pokemon you want. You can grab the link from the url bar of your browser. Then all you need to do is copy and paste it to your post. Well, almost all. Because when you also use one of these BBCode: you'll make the link clickable and way easier to open. (And you can find more info on BBCodes here).

Sure! I said so in Rule 3.

The exchange rate I use here is: 1 ZC = 5 GP = 5k Cr

Here's a great guide to them.

Rule 7 should answer that question.

Yes. It's because allowing people to ask for the same things in multiple different places (like the PMs) can and will cause problems. The Trade Forums don't bite, really :) There are many kind people trading here all the time. I know social anxiety is a thing (I have it too, believe it or not). I can assure you, though: people don't really care what others are buying for themselves. It's just like in a regular shop in your local town :) So if you see a cool Shiny on sale and you really want it don't be afraid, just ask for it (assuming you have enough currency for it, of course :) ). And posting in the Trade Threads helps keep them alive, in more ways than one :) Preventing them from being deleted for inactivity is the main reason, though (besides the transparency on what has been already sold).

You can either choose the "Reply to thread" option from the Thread Commands or scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page where you can find the "Reply to this thread" link. And then you write what you want (if you're on mobile you may also want to disable the editor if it causes you any trouble with writing) and click "Post" when you're finished.

No. And personally I'm against enforcing them on others because they can be pretty tedious/annoying to use. But if you have one and would like to use it here, go ahead, I don't mind it. Just make your offer clear (both what you want to buy and the payment), that's enough for me :)

1. If it can be bred, I have a pair for it. 2. All Egg Dexes are PWYW. 3. Return my pairs when you're done with breeding them ASAP. 4. Don't do anything "funny" to my pairs. Don't release them, steal them, evolve them (some Pokemon are purposefully left unevolved, for higher compatibility, see Wiki. Basically return them in the exact same state as you got them (with their Level being the only possible exception), otherwise I'll report you). 5. Due to the risk of breaking rules 4 and 6 being way higher for lower rank players, you need to be at least at the Champion Rank or higher to use this service. 45% Egg- and PokeDex completion should be achievable without much outside help. Wiki page about Ranks 6. Once the day finally comes and the update to the DayCare happens it will irreversibly break replace the current pair making system with a new, much worse and needlessly convoluted one. Here's an explanation from the man himself on how it will work: Yeah, much worse and more convoluted than what we have now. How will that work with Pokemon with multiple evolutions, formes, gender differences, monogender and genderless Pokemon, PFQ Fakemon (which internally are all a forme of Missingno)? So many questions, so little answers. And the aesthetically pleasing and completionists tempting 99% max base compatibility won't be a thing anymore? I really don't see any benefits to this part of the update. Thankfully, Niet also said that it may be possible to keep the existing pairs as they are now and give us an option to change them to the new system manually. When that happens and that will be an option, please, for the love of Arceus, don't use that option to update the pair making system on my pairs. Make it temporarily hidden with CSS even, if that will be possible, to avoid this. (I'll post the code here, when and if it will be necessary) I've spent so much time trying to preserve all perfect pairs made under the current, better system. I really don't want to lose them. 7. You can ask for as many pairs as you need at once. However you'll get only 5 of them at once and you'll get the next batch once you fully return the last one. Please list them all in a single post in groups of 5 separated by an empty line to make keeping track of what I've lent you easier. This will also prevent the possible issues of double posting and having to resort to PMs.

- All cannon Legendary/Mythical Pokemon - All PFQ Legendary/Mythical Pokemon (Bunbori, Lunamor, Shinorin and Sikannos) - The PFQ Exclusives from the last 2 seasons (these currently are Platykit, Sugarcoatl, Destrel and Humbee) - While the PFQ Exclusives from the 3rd to last Season (currently Jestur and Embretta) technically CAN be bred, it's so ridiculously hard, you're honestly better off buying them from the Tournament Shop. They only have a 2%(!) chance to actually succeed in making an Egg. From my experience even the notoriously hard Koroku and Kinaster are easier to breed. Sure, I can lend you a pair if you REALLY want to try and see for yourself, in that case expect to make tens of thousands interactions for the whole day without any results, though.

Just like in the core series Pokemon games there are many Pokemon that evolve by trade on PFQ. For the most part it works exactly the same as in the official games - the Pokemon needs to be traded to another user, often holding a specific item. The main difference is that while in games the Pokemon evolve automatically after trading, on PFQ the evolution needs to be triggered manually, just like any other evolution. The other difference is that PFQ has Gift Trade which are faster and, for the purpose of evolution, work exactly the same as regular trades*. *well, with 2 infamous exceptions - namely Shelmet and Karrablast.

Shelmet and Karrablast, however, are tricky - since they need to be traded with each other in one trade to evolve Gift Trades won't work on them. Luckily I have both of them so even if you only have one I can still help. For these 2 specifically send them in regular trades. And then send my own Shelmet/Karrablast back to me. And please don't evolve my own Shelmet and Karrablast - I have only one of each and I need them to help others too. I'm writing this here because although they are Everstoned, nicknamed and have custom descriptions even with all that I still had some people evolving them because they didn't pay attention. So please, be careful with them. Moreover, due to performance issues Sally only checks the last performed trade to see if a Trade-Evolving Pokemon can evolve. And while usually this in not a problem, it does matter for our 2 Bug Pokemon. After the trade with each other they have to be evolved before they are sent in any other trade. BUT they can be traded with each other one more time, to allow you to evolve them by yourself, if you want. So once you accept one trade just set up another regular trade with my Shelmet/Karrablast (whichever you just got) and once you get your Bug Pokemon back you can evolve it.

I hope I didn't miss any. If I did, however, please PM me to let me know.

There are many Pokemon that evolve only during specific time of day. Since PFQ's Server Time follows the GMT and doesn't allow us to set our custom time zones it means that many users struggle to evolve certain Pokemon (daytime evolutions during winter, nighttime evolutions during summer, Dusk Lycanroc always). While I can't change PFQ's programming I can however offer some help with these time-specific evolutions. I live in Central Europe which means I have easy access to all 3 timeframes for time-specific evolutions for the whole year.

1. You don't need to post here but make sure to properly label your Gift Trades when you send your Pokemon for evolution. 2. You need to provide the necessary item, if required. And raise your Pokemon to the required Level. 3. In the case of Dusk Lycanroc make extra sure your Rockruff has maxed Affection, not Happiness (you rise it using Perfect Berries). Here's an example, look at Lyra's contest stats. Trades with Rockruffs without maxed Affection will be declined with a link to this post for explanation. 4. If you want a specific forme of Alcremie be sure to include the proper Sweet item and specify the exact forme. 5. If a Pokemon also needs high happiness to evolve that won't be a problem at all. Even though trading resets Happiness I have a huge stash of Sweet Hearts I can feed to your Pokemon at no cost at all.
