Master the marketplace to make smart trades and earn coins!

UNDERSTANDING POKEMON VALUE
Factors that increase value:
- Rarity tier (Legendary > Epic > Rare > Uncommon > Common)
- Shiny status (shiny = 10-50x more valuable)
- IVs (perfect 31 IVs = premium price)
- Nature (competitive natures like Adamant, Jolly = more)
- Level (higher level = more valuable)
- Species popularity (fan favorites sell faster)

PRICE RANGES (APPROXIMATE)
Common Pokemon: 100-500 coins
Uncommon Pokemon: 500-2,000 coins
Rare Pokemon: 2,000-10,000 coins

SELLING TIPS
1. Price competitively — check similar listings first
2. Highlight good IVs in the description
3. Shiny Pokemon should be priced at premium
4. Legendaries always sell — price them fairly
5. Don't overprice common Pokemon (they won't sell)

BUYING TIPS
1. Always check IVs before buying
2. Compare prices across multiple listings
3. Look for underpriced Pokemon (some sellers don't know values)
4. Don't impulse buy — save for Pokemon you really need
5. Check if you can catch the Pokemon yourself instead

TRADE EVOLUTION TRICK
Need a Machamp, Gengar, Alakazam, or Golem? Trade for their pre-evolutions (Machoke, Haunter, Kadabra, Graveler) — they evolve on trade, so you get the final form!

FLIPPING FOR PROFIT
Advanced strategy: Buy low, sell high:
1. Find underpriced listings
2. Buy them
3. Relist at market value
4. Keep the profit!
Risk: You might not find a buyer at your higher price.
