Is this a GTS hack?

I’ve been doing crazy amount of GTS trades lately on my Ultra Sun, working on Charmander because there are so many just sitting there!

I notice after I do a trade often I find another listing from the exact trainer asking for the same Pokémon. Or, I’ll do a trade and immediately notice another different trade listing be posted right after. It’s impossible to reduce the trades! Is this a hack or are people posting charmander s constantly still? Mind you the Pokémon I get in trades are legit and many in rare balls so a good trade, but there’s just so many we need to clean out

The multiple Pokémon being offered by the same exact trainer is actually a feature of the premium Pokémon Home subscription. You can also do up to ten Wonder Trades at a time with the subscription. Charmander is just common simply because of Charizard and it having a GMax form.

I just edited my post, this is for Ultra Sun/Moon GTS not Sw/SH

If it’s the same trainer asking for the same mons for the same mons in a short timeframe...it’s probably hacked.

Or a clone. But most likely more the former, especially if they're 6iv.

Perhaps breeding rejects? I’ve done it before with Cleffa and Pawniard before where I was trying to get a certain Ability, gender, and Egg Moves without worrying about stats. I still have over 30 Pawniard that have Sucker Punch but Inner Focus instead of Defiant.
That's probably most likely the case there.
