- All hacks and hacking methods are banned. Offering or distributing these may result in a permanent roomban. Asking for such in either pm's or chat will also result in punishment. This does not include cloning or RNG abuse, but does include talking about hacks.


- If you want to trade, your trade post must include your FC, Ingame Name and Trainer ID. A Trade Sheet or Pastebin is optional but very recommended, please list your Showdown Username and Species / Gender / Shiny / 6th or 7th Gen / Ball / Ability / All IVs / Nature / Moves / OT / TID for every Pokémon on your sheet.
If you don't have a Trade Sheet, your post must at least include Species / Shiny / All IVs / Nature and OT / TID if not selfbred.
Please be sure to list whether a Pokémon has been Hyper Trained or not.

Excluded from the information requirements are selfbred breedjects, on which the minimal requirement is to list Species, minimal IVs and 6th Gen if not bred on a 7th Gen game in your trade post.

- Please keep your trading posts to a single line/post and only post them once per page. If you can still see your trade post in the chat, then others can too. Wait until it is off the screen before posting it again.

- When you find a person in the chat to trade with, take your discussion to PM’s to prevent flooding the chat. This includes the exchanging of friend codes. If you're looking to trade, please use the chat and do not PM random or multiple users for the Pokemon you're looking for.

- When asked by a member of staff, you must provide any information about a Pokemon.

[Proof section]

- These Pokémon require additional proof to be traded. Make sure to link the appropriate proof in your Trade Post or Sheet:

Screenshot proof (with a sheet of paper displaying your FC and Showdown Username visible in each picture) of encounter (e.g. the nickname screen), IVs, summary and a picture of your Trainer Card | video proof showing all of the listed information (required for Gen 7 Shiny SRs, chains, and Dittos with 5+ IVs (-undesired stat)):

Competitive 5+ IV Legends, Events, SRs, UBs, Dittos or 5+IV Shiny Type: Null / Silvally.
Examples:
A 31/31/23/31/31/31 Adamant Solgaleo is fine without additional proof, but a 31/31/31/23/31/31 Adamant Solgaleo is not.
A Pokemon with a hidden power spread like 31/0/30/31/31/31 hp ice is considered 6IV.

- All event Pokemon must have Wonder Card proof where available. This means that Gen 3 events, and QR Code (like Magearna) are excluded from this rule due to them not having real Wonder Cards.

- For RNGs (before Gen 7), a screenshot of the seed, a picture of the encounter, and any other important information for the Pokemon must be shown. You must also show your Username and Friend Code.

- If you restore saves for egg RNG, you must state that you use this method for any breeds which fall under this rule (showing that the seeds are the same is acceptable).

- You may not trade 5iv or shiny Pokemon from Gen 1 transfers. The only exception to this rule (IV-wise) is the event Mew as it is at least 5IV.

- For Pokemon obtained in Gen 3-5, the same rules apply. Due to how previous Generations work, you are required to provide RNG proof if you wish to trade Pokemon with significant IVs (4IV+) as it is nearly impossible to obtain them otherwise.

- With the above, Gen 3 events that are extremely rare are not to be traded. This is because they are almost always hacked, and are publicly available.

- We allow the trading of Pokemon obtained via injected Wonder Cards so long as all the conditions are met. For example, the region data matches the native region.

- Proof examples can be seen [here]

[End of Proof section]

- Do not trade Pokemon from [this sheet] - they are all hacked.

- All Pokemon obtained from Wonder Trade, Passersby, or the GTS are banned from being traded. This is because we cannot guarantee their legitimacy and most of the time they're hacked.

- In-game for in-game trades only. Trading Pokemon for money, possessions, and/or codes, or trading for codes in general is strictly banned from the Wi-Fi room, as it is very easy to scam with. This includes wager battles of any kind and code giveaways.

- Do not trade over the GTS as you're more likely to be scammed this way. FCs and IGNs are required with every trade. Official GTS giveaways are exempt from this rule.

- You are allowed to not trade with people, but this does not mean you can have a public blacklist on your trade sheet.
