How it works

This is an unofficial coordination layer for player-to-player trading in PokéOne. We don't hold money or Pokémon - every trade actually happens in-game. The site keeps things organized, surfaces fair prices, and gives you and your trading partner a paper trail.

Marketplace listings

  1. Sellers post a Pokémon, item, or TM with an asking price (or trade-only).
  2. Buyers browse and contact sellers in-game using the seller's in-game name.
  3. You coordinate the trade in PokéOne. The site doesn't hold or transfer assets.
  4. If anything looks like a scam or rule break, hit the "Report" button on the listing - admins investigate.

The price guide shows community-submitted price ranges so you can spot suspicious pricing.

Auctions

Auctions let sellers list a Pokémon to the highest bidder. Bids are binding - when you bid, expect to follow through if you win.

  1. Seller starts an auction with a starting price, optional buy-now, and a duration of 24 hours to 7 days.
  2. Bidders place bids. Each bid must beat the current top by at least the seller's minimum increment.
  3. Anti-snipe: any bid in the last 5 minutes pushes the close time forward by 5 more minutes. Capped at 24 hours of total extension so auctions can't run forever.
  4. When the timer hits zero, the highest bidder wins. Status flips to ended.
  5. The winner uploads a screenshot of the in-game trade. Both buyer and seller confirm - then it's sold.
  6. Buy-now ends the auction immediately and skips straight to settlement.

Bidder rules: you cannot bid on your own auction. Bids can't be retracted (this keeps the timing math honest). If you have a real problem - open a dispute and an admin will look at it.

Hiring a service (as a buyer)

Services cover the work most players want done for them: EV training, EXP grinding, shiny hunting, hidden ability hunting, and Pokémon hunting. Browse offers, or post a request to invite providers.

  1. Find an offer (or post a request) and place an order with the specifics - target EVs, target level, species, etc.
  2. The provider has 48 hours to accept. If they don't, the order auto-cancels.
  3. For EV / EXP training:
    • You trade your Pokémon to the provider in-game.
    • You upload a handover screenshot showing the trade - required before work starts.
    • The provider trains, then trades the Pokémon back.
    • You upload a return screenshot, then click "Confirm I received it" to complete.
  4. For shiny / hidden-ability / Pokémon hunting:
    • Provider hunts/catches and uploads a catch screenshot for verification.
    • Provider trades the new Pokémon to you in-game.
    • You confirm completion.
  5. You leave a review (1–5 stars). Reviews show on the provider's profile.

Providing a service (as a provider)

  1. Post an offer with a clear title, description, and pricing model:
    • Fixed - flat price per job
    • Per level / per EV / per hour - usage-based
    • Quote - you negotiate per order
  2. Set your booking cap and the "fully booked" toggle in provider settings.
  3. Accept or reject incoming orders within 48 hours.
  4. Do the work. Mark the order delivered when you trade the Pokémon back (or hand off the new one).
  5. Buyer confirms → you get a review → it shows on your profile.

Why screenshots matter

Screenshots are required at specific points so admins have evidence to arbitrate disputes. We never share them publicly - only you, the counterparty, and admins can see them through short-lived signed URLs (1 hour expiry).

  • EV / EXP training - buyer uploads handover + return screenshots.
  • Hunting services - provider uploads catch screenshot before trade-back.
  • Auctions - winner uploads trade screenshot for settlement.

What to capture: the in-game trade window showing both Pokémon, both player names, and ideally the level/species. JPG / PNG / WebP, 5 MB max.

Disputes & reports

  1. If something goes wrong on an order, click Open a dispute from the order page. Both parties can file.
  2. The order moves to the admin queue. Admins review screenshots, notes, and any history.
  3. For non-order issues (scam listings, harassment, impersonation), use the Report button on the listing or profile page.
  4. Bad actors can be banned. Bans hide the account from sign-in entirely.
