Trade Centre

The Trade Centre is where one may put their Pokémon up for trade or gift them to other users. One is able to access it after one has completed the tutorial. It is found in the Nearby Places tab. There are five buttons that one can choose from underneath the title: Set up a Trade, Collection Area, Wonder Trade, Trade History and Upgrades.

Note: One may not trade or gift Eggs.

Set up a Trade

An example of the Trade Centre

This is for trading/gifting Pokémon to a certain user. The form is very straightforward:

• Recipient: The user one wants to send the trade to. As one types, suggested usernames will automatically appear beneath the textbox, which one can click to fill in as the recipient. There are wildcards ("_" for a single character and "%" for any number of characters) to make the search easier.
  Eg. "Syste" (auto-search), "s_stem", and "S%em" will all result in "SYSTEM".
  Once the username is filled in, click on the Go button and the name will appear in the summary.
  Note: Names are case-insensitive.
• Pokémon: The Pokémon one wants to trade. Click on the link "Select a Pokémon" to view ones fields. After one clicks the Pokémon, a message box will appear to either confirm one's selection, go to its Summary page, or go to its Summary page in a new tab.
• Trade setup summary: An overview of the trade. There's a checkbox to toggle gifting and a textbox where one can choose to write a message to the Recipient. There is also an option to attach up to 5 items, Credits, Gold Poké, or Zophan Canisters to the trade.

Once one is ready, click the button 'Confirm and send!' to send the trade to the other user. A notification will be sent upon receiving a trade, a trade being offered on, or a trade being completed. Up to 5 trades can be sent by a user at a time, Pokémon in the Collection Area count towards this maximum.

Receive a Trade

When someone makes an offer on ones trade, a notification will be sent to them. It will link one to the Trade Centre, where one may click on the Pokémon in their "Trades Received" section. One can either accept or reject the trade. If accepted, ones Pokémon will be transferred to the Recipient, and theirs to oneself. A SYSTEM message will let the Recipient know that the trade has been rejected and a notification will appear to let you know that you have received a trade request. You will also get a notification if there are Pokémon, currency or items to collect.

Collection Area

Any Pokémon, items, or currency received from trades can be found in the Collection Area. A trade being cancelled will also cause objects to be deposited here. A user must manually accept items/currency and select fields for Pokémon in order to remove them from the Collection Area.

A user will be unable to send any trades if there are 5 or more Pokémon in the Collection Area. One will also be unable to accept any trades or gifts if there are 11 Pokémon in the Collection Area, which is the maximum.

Wonder Trade

Wonder Trading is an extension of the Trade Centre. Like regular trading, you put up a Pokémon up for trade, but the Pokémon will be traded at random with another user, who is also Wonder Trading. You may trade a random Pokémon for another random Pokémon, thus the name "Wonder Trading".

Upgrades

Like most Nearby Places, the Trade Centre also has Upgrades you can purchase. Currently, only Trade Center Expansions are available at the Trade Centre. They cost 1,000 Gold Poké each, and they will increase the number of trades by five and the collection area by ten.

History

History is a feature that allows you to see the past 25 trades you've made. It will track any and all trades, including Gifts and Wonder Trade.
