Answer 1

None of these sites are affiliated with PokeBase or PokemonDB.

Trading Pokemon

• r/pokemontrades: Structured forum for trading Pokemon, especially high-value trades (ex: competitive, shiny). Harsh rules around legitimacy.
• r/casualpokemontrades: Like the above, but less "hardcore". Good for tradebacks (i.e. "help me evolve Machoke").

• r/SVExchange: For TSV trading abuse in Gen 6 and 7.
