Are Pokemon Proxies Safe to Use for Online Battles and Trades? - TorStorm99 - 06-12-2024
Hey everyone,
so I’ve been hearing a lot about pokemon proxies lately and was wondering if they’re safe to use for online battles and trades?
Like, I get that they’re super handy for getting rare mons or testing teams, but I don’t wanna risk getting banned or anything. Anyone here actually used pokemon proxies for online stuff?
Also, do they mess with the game’s mechanics or cause glitches? I’ve seen mixed opinions, so I’m kinda on the fence.
Pls lmk your experiences! Thx in advance

I’ve used pokemon proxies for a while now, and honestly, they’re pretty safe if you know what you’re doing. I’ve never been banned, and I’ve used them for both online battles and trades. Just make sure you’re not using anything too obviously hacked, like a shiny legendary with impossible stats.
As for glitches, I haven’t experienced any. The game mechanics stay the same, and it feels like using a legit mon. If you’re worried, try using PKHeX—it’s a popular tool for creating pokemon proxies. Just be cautious and don’t overdo it!

Yo, I’ve been in the same boat as you, wondering if pokemon proxies are worth the risk. From my experience, they’re fine as long as you’re not being reckless. I’ve used them to test competitive teams, and it’s been a game-changer.
I’d recommend checking out Project Pokémon’s forums for guides on how to use tools like PKHeX or PkHex. They’ve got a ton of info on making sure your proxies are legal for online play. Just don’t go around flexing a shiny Arceus or something, lol.

Honestly, pokemon proxies are a mixed bag. I’ve used them for trades, and it’s been smooth sailing, but I’ve heard horror stories of people getting banned. It really depends on how you use them.
If you’re just testing teams or filling your dex, you’re probably fine. But if you’re trying to use them in ranked battles with obviously hacked stats, that’s where you’ll run into trouble. I’d say stick to trusted tools like PKHeX and avoid anything that looks too good to be true.

I’ve been using pokemon proxies for years, and I’ve never had an issue. They’re super handy for getting those hard-to-find mons or testing out competitive builds. Just make sure you’re using a reliable tool like PKHeX, and double-check that your proxies are legal for online play.
As for glitches, I’ve never encountered any. The game treats them like any other Pokémon, so as long as you’re not doing anything shady, you should be good.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone! I think I’m gonna give pokemon proxies a try, especially since so many of you have had good experiences with PKHeX. I’ll start with testing some teams and see how it goes.
One quick follow-up: does anyone know if there’s a way to check if a proxy is legal before using it online? I wanna make sure I don’t accidentally mess something up. Thanks again for all the help!

Tbh, pokemon proxies are a lifesaver if you’re into competitive battling. I’ve used them to test out teams before committing to breeding, and it’s saved me so much time.
I’d recommend using PKHeX—it’s super easy to use, and there are tons of tutorials online. Just make sure your proxies are legal (no impossible moves or stats), and you should be fine. I’ve never been banned, and I’ve been using them for online battles for a while now.

I was super hesitant about using pokemon proxies at first, but after trying them out, I’m sold. They’re perfect for testing teams or getting those rare mons you’d otherwise spend hours hunting for.
I use PKHeX, and it’s been great. No glitches or issues so far, and I’ve been using it for both trades and battles. Just make sure you’re not doing anything that’ll raise red flags, like using a mon with illegal stats or moves.
