Trade-Up System

The Trade-Up system lets you exchange unwanted Pokemon for a chance at upgraded rewards. It is a risk-reward system with configurable odds, anti-dupe protection, and shiny-value tracking.

How Trade-Ups Work

Key Features

• Species-weighted odds: Each potential reward Pokemon has a different probability. Rarer or more desirable Pokemon have lower odds.
• Tier system: Trade-ups are organized into tiers with different pools. Higher-tier trade-ups require better input Pokemon but offer better rewards.
• Anti-dupe protection: The Pokemon Tracker system monitors ownership across the server and blocks detected duplicates from being used in trade-ups.
• Shiny value tracking: Shiny Pokemon are tracked separately and may have different value calculations in the trade-up system.
• Lock guards: During the trade-up process, your Pokemon are locked to prevent any duplication exploits. No trading, moving, or modifying the Pokemon while a trade-up is in progress.

Tips

• Trade up Pokemon you don't need — duplicates from breeding, common catches, and Pokemon with bad IVs/natures are good candidates.
• Review the odds carefully in the confirmation GUI before committing. The Pokemon icons and percentages let you make an informed decision.
• Trade-ups are irreversible — once confirmed, your input Pokemon are gone regardless of the result.
