Please READ ALL INFORMATION before making a reply or sending me a PM.Pokemon Go requires commitment and trust to trade. If you see my post as a "wall of text" and don't want to read, you should not contact me to for a trade because:- You won't have enough stardust to buy the list of Pokemon you want.
- You may quit the game before we finish building ultra or best friendship.
- You don't want to give me your current location in order to complete a trade with you.
{1} What are the requirements to do a trade?{A} You need to have a lot of stardust!- Stardust is what you need to complete trades in this game, so you need to save it up.
- If you're a low level, don't power up low level Pokemon to your current level because it's a waste. You can catch up to level 35 Pokemon in the wild when you reach level 33.
- If you need to complete special research or quest tasks, you should power up a 10 to 40 CP Pokemon to complete it because it requires very little stardust and candies.
- If you plan to buy shiny, legendary, ultra beasts, or mythical Pokemon that you don't have registered in your Pokedex, it will require 40,000 or 80,000 stardust per trade.
- It can take a long time to get 80,000 stardust if you're not actively playing the game.
{B} Your Trainer needs to Level 33 or higher.- Note: Minimum level to trade is 10 but Pokemon levels will scale down to 2 levels above your current level.
- If your trainer level is 10 and I trade you a level 35 Pokemon, the Pokemon will drop down to level 12. I will still trade with you if you want it regardless.
- If your level is 40 and I trade you a level 50, the Pokemon will scale down to level 42.
{C} You must agree to giving me your current location of where you are right now with your phone or tablet in order to trade with you.This game requires face-to-face interaction in order to do trades. I am using something to trick the game into thinking I am right there in front of you without really being there. I will not help you setup spoofing because it's against D2jsp rules. There is no risk to you when I trade you my Pokemon; however, if you decide to get into spoofing, you will have the risk for an account ban. I have been trading since 2018, and no one has reported a ban from trading.
{D} DiscordThis is mandatory for trade communication. I only contact you to trade or to check if you are still active in the game.
{2} How does the Pokemon Go trade system work?- You send me the Order Form with all information required (buy list is optional)
- We build friendship by exchanging a gift every day until you reach your desired friendship level in order to reduce the stardust cost for each trade.
- While we build friendship, you need to be playing the game to collect stardust by catching Pokemon, completing tasks, and doing battles.
- Once you have reach a certain friendship level, you send me a new the ORDER FORM with your buy list.
- We will discuss it and arrange a time to meet and which days to complete the trade. You can pay in full ahead of time.
- I contact you via Discord to ask you if you're available.
- If you're available at the scheduled time, we do the trade.
- If you're not available, I will reschedule you to the next available day.
- Then, we continue doing the special trade limit per day until you received all the Pokemon you paid for.
Registered means you caught the Pokemon and will require less stardust to complete a trade.
Not registered means you did not catch the Pokemon yet, which includes Pokemon types like non-shiny, shiny, legendary, mythical, ultra beast, purified, costume, dynamax, and/or gigantamax. This will require a lot of time to build friendship to reduce the stardust cost and multiple days to complete all the trades.
Regular Trades are all the Pokemon that are registered and not in the special trade category. We can trade up to 100 per day, but it takes about 2.5 hours to complete all 100 trades. This includes non-legendary and non-mythical Dynamax Pokemon.
Special Trades are Pokemon that are non-shiny, shiny, legendary, mythical, ultra beast, purified, costume, dynamax, and/or gigantamax that are not registered in your Pokedex are limited to 1 special trade per day.
- Season bonus rotation can allow up to 2 special trades.
- Community Day and special events allow up to 3 special trades.
- Ticket events that require travel to another country may allow up to 5 or more special trades.
The confusing part of a Special Trade is that it still includes these types when they are already registered in your Pokedex: shiny, legendary, mythical, ultra beast, purified, and/or gigantamax.Examples based on the Trading Costs chart:- Examples of not registered Pokemon:
- registered a non-shiny Charmander and never registered the Shiny Charmander, this will be a special trade.
- registered a non-shiny Pikachu and never had a costume version, the Flying Pikachu with balloons will be a special trade.
- registered a non-shiny Mewtwo and never had a shiny version, the Shiny Mewtwo will be a special trade.
- Examples of Special Trade confusion:
- registered a Shiny Charizard but don't have a non-shiny Gigantamax Charizard, this will be a special trade.
- registered a non-shiny Mewtwo and want 10 more, this will be a special trade that requires 10 days to complete.
- registered a non-shiny purified Squirtle and want 30 more, this will be a special trade that requires 30 days to complete.

{3} Based on the chart, I can lower the stardust cost?
- Yes by becoming Ultra or Best Friends with me.
- To build friendship, you must open the gift I send to you everyday for 30 or 90 days depending on when you want to start trading based off how much stardust you have.
- You cannot build friendship by doing nothing in the game.
- Sending me a gift is optional if you live in an area with a few Pokestops.
{4} Can I do a 1,000,000 stardust trade without waiting to build friendship?
- Yes, if you pay the adjusted FG price because I am not going to spend my 1 million stardust for 25 FG.
- You have to remember the game requires you to spend your 1 million stardust too.
{5} What is a lucky trade and how to get it?
- A lucky Pokemon can roll an IV of 80% (12 attack/12 defense/12 stamina) to 100% (15 attack/15 defense/15 stamina).
- As for appraisal rates: 80% = 2 stars, 82% to 98% = 3 stars, and 100% = 4 stars.
- It has a reduced stardust cost when you power them up.
- After you become Best Friends (90 days of opening gifts) with me, you have a 2% chance when opening a gift to become Lucky Friends.
- This means you're guarantee a 100% lucky trade chance.
- This lucky friend status does not expire.
- You can use a Lucky Trinket item to become Lucky Friends.
You need to be Ultra Friends (30 days of friendship) with me to use it.
- This item is can expire.
- You can trade your old Pokemon caught from 6 years ago get a guaranteed lucky as long as you have not exceeded the guaranteed lucky trade limit.
- You take the current year minus 6 = the year to get a guaranteed lucky. For example, 2025 - 6 = 2019.
- Any Pokemon from 2016 to 2019 will be a guaranteed lucky as long as the person who is trading the old Pokemon has not exceeded the limit.
- You will need to wait for Niantic to release the event that increases the limit after a new year starts.
- At the time of writing this thread, there is no in-game tracker for this so I cannot guarantee you a lucky trade if you use your old Pokemon. Niantic could add this in the future or continue to leave it out. You're responsible for keep track of how many you have left.
{6} Do you sell any services like leveling, catching, farming stardust, raiding, and/or item bag refills?
For those who reach Best Friends and have purchased often can receive these for free:
- remote raid invite to Shadow Pokemon Raids since they are not tradeable
- trade you non-shiny XXS or XXL Pokemon to win Showcases
- trade until you get a lucky Pokemon from the wild or easily obtained from research tasks
- knock your Pokemon out that has been stuck in a gym for a long time

{7} How do I give you my location?
Please pick a location that is safe and convenient for you. Your location is confidential and will not be shared with anyone. If you do not agree to giving me your location via address, location share, or map coordinates, I cannot trade with you because Pokemon Go requires people to stand in front of each other when you do trades. I will not buy an airplane ticket to fly to you in person to do the trades.
Option #1: An address.
- Must include number, street, city, state, and country.
- Example: McDonald's @ 1 Rue Gustave Eiffel, 78280 Guyancourt, France
- Example: In-N-Out @ 2950 E Capitol Expy, San Jose, CA 95148
Option #2: Share your location from Google Maps app on your phone.
- Tap the dot that shows your location
- Tap on "share location"
- Select Discord
- My Discord username, which will be given to you when I reply to your D2JSP PM.
Option #3: Send map coordinates from Google Maps to Discord using your computer.
- Go to https://www.google.com/maps then to your current location.
- Click on the map where you are. It has to be close to you or I cannot trade with you.
- Copy and paste the map coordinates to Discord app then message them to me.
{8} Where do you find what Pokemon you have for sale?
Every time you open the Google Document, you must wait a few seconds for it to refresh to the newest edit. They are separated to prevent your phone or tablet from freezing. It should load fast on a computer but not everyone has one. If you don't wait, you could be looking at something that went out of stock weeks ago.
