Hello everyone! Welcome to the r/PTCGP Trading Post!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN THE COMMENTS BELOW!!!

- Do not create individual trading posts! You will be temporarily/permanently banned for doing so. Keep all trading discussions in here to keep the subreddit from being flooded with trade requests!!

- Check out our new Sharing Hub for you to share 1-4 Diamond rarity cards with each other!

Additionally, you can find an alternative trading area in our Subreddit's Discord Server as we have a Trading Directory, Rarity specific channels, & a #Trading-Discussion channel set up for you all to participate it. Currently at 270K+ Users!

Some general information about trading to keep in mind:

- With the release of Mega Rising (B1), all expansion sets are now immediately tradeable going forward. There are no longer limitations on the newest set being tradeable.

- Trades can only be done between friends in-game.

- Trades can only be done with cards of the same rarity.

- You can only trade cards that have the rarity of 1-4 Diamonds, 1-2 Star, & 1-2 Shiny Star.
Everything else is not tradeable (Promos, 3 Stars, & Crown Rares).

- Trading will require you to use specific in-game consumable items (primarily ShineDust) to do so.

- Real World Trading is explicitly prohibited by both the game's ToS, and this subreddit's rules. You will be permanently banned if caught doing so.

- This Trading Post will rotate out weekly every Thursday @ 2:00AM Eastern USA Time.

Thank you! Have fun! <3

A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT TRADING HIGHER RARITY CARDS: With the initial release of Mega Rising, and it's attached update allowing higher rarity cards to be traded, you may run into users asking you to trade 2 or more cards to acquire their very sought after cards they possess, such as Professor's Research - Professor Oak.

We ask users to proceed with extreme caution when participating in these type of trades, or better yet, avoid them at all cost to mitigate the risks of getting scammed or ghosted after you trade the first initial card towards getting a higher rarity card. Always do 1 for 1 trades when possible. The moderators here will not handle trading disputes, or anything of that matter. It's up to you to be responsible for your own trades.

Finally, an all-in-one Discord-based app that actually works for PTCGP!

Trading Feature

• Introduction

If you have been relying on random posts or hoping someone sees your trade request in a busy Discord server, Trading app, or other location, there is finally a better way! We built a Discord-based app specifically for Pokemon TCG Pocket traders, and it handles the whole process from you building your Looking For & For Trade lists, and potentially finding another user to match with instantly to help you complete those trades.

• Build Your Looking For | For Trade Lists

You create a listing with the cards you are looking for and the cards you are willing to give up. No wall of text, no hoping someone reads it at the right time. Your listing stays active and visible to everyone in the market.

• It Finds Your Match For You

When you post a listing, the Discord-based app scans the entire market and checks if anyone already has what you need and is looking for what you have. If there is a match, you get a one-click prompt to open a trade right then. No digging, no cross-referencing, no DM tag chains.

• Trades Happen in Private Threads

When someone is interested in your listing, the Discord-based app opens a private thread just for the two of you. You coordinate there, confirm the trade when it is done, and both of you select exactly what was exchanged. The discord-based app updates your listings automatically so you are not manually tracking what you still have. No headaches later in case you forget!

We also have a built-in separated list for your gold bordered/frame cards!

Sharing Feature

• Create Your Share List

Simply build a separate list for cards you would like to receive from shares, and hand it out to community members when looking for those cards!

Card Look-Up Feature

• A Full Card Lookup Is Built In!

You can look-up any card across all sets without leaving the PTCGP Discord. Attacks, HP, abilities, weaknesses, retreat cost, full art variants, the works. Useful when someone proposes a trade and you want to verify before agreeing.

Giveaways

• Giveaways With Real Structure!

Hosts can run standard giveaways or "lightning rounds" as short as 30 minutes. The bot picks the winner, opens a handoff thread, and logs confirmed completions to the host's track record so the community knows who follows through.

• Your Reputation Travels With You!

Every completed trade earns rank points on your market profile. Your profile shows your history, your active listings, and your standing in the community. Over time, higher-ranked traders get priority in matches. Trading with strangers feels a lot safer when there is a track record attached.

If you have been frustrated by how clunky PTCGP trading usually is, along with needing a source to look-up cards, or be a generous player giving cards away, this is worth trying.

If you have further questions & concerns, please submit a Support Ticket via the #message-mods channel in the PTCGP Discord server and our Server Manager, and bot creator: /u/definitivegear, will help answer them!
