Im unsure about trade evolution online with random people. I fear im gonna build up a geodude just to have the guy cut off trade after it evolves. I have nothing needed at the moment, but im working on them.

That’s so messed up. I hope that person is uncovered and ends up getting banned from this forum (as well as in Serebii’s Discord).

doubt it. its probably a random player somewhere. Its my fault, i assumed they see its a graveler and think trade evolution trade back. Trained another and got a buddy on here to help evolve him. Im Never gonna trade evolve online with random people again.

Or you could give your pokemon you trained the nickname Trade Back. You can change the name back after evolution, If they do scam you, they're stuck with an unchangable dumb name on their new 'catch' It only works with Kanto pokemon you caught though.

I’ve traded with people from here before (and from the Serebii discord). The key is to confirm the name that shows up for the other players. Ask them (whether on this forum via PM or on Discord) way their name is; if it doesn’t match what’s showing on your end, quit the trade, as it’s probably not the person you arranged with.

this was a random online trade. he probably has no connection to serebii. If he did i'd have him reported already. I posted that mostly to vent and by the off chance he sees it knows he screwed me! Im surprised i diddnt get posts from trolls stating the obvious.
