Can you promote in r/pokemongotrade?

For trading within the game Pokemon GO. Please be sure to check the rules and FAQs before participating!

The short answer

Do not promote or mention products/services; if you must engage, act as a regular user trading in-game without any commercial intent and use modmail first for clarifications.

What works here

  • In-game Pokémon GO trades
  • Giveaways that follow subreddit rules (no external platforms)
  • Posting in allowed regional subreddits per sidebar

What gets posts removed

  • Advertising products, services, websites, Discords, or marketplaces
  • Discussing monetary value, selling accounts, or soliciting customers
  • Posting external links or recruiting/lead-generation
  • Using comments or DMs to pitch or monetize
