Description:

Hello! First of all, the idea for this swap was inspired by cookingbear's Pokémon ATC swap! Hers are US only and she granted permission to create an international version of them with a few tweaks!

For this swap, we'll be creating Pokémon related ATCs in 11 rounds, so by the end of the whole ordeal, you'll be the proud owner of 22 Pokémon ATCs!

In this round, we won't focus on a Pokémon type, but on starters - you can use any of the 19 starters we've seen in the games, manga, etc. Pick your favourite starter and create an ATC centred around them, then make a second ATC with your partner's favourite starter Pokémon. Please be sure to comment below with your preferred starter for your partner.


This is the first swap of this series and the rest will be as follows:

  • Starters
  • Normal & Fire
  • Water & Electric
  • Grass & Ice
  • Fighting & Poison
  • Ground & Flying
  • Psychic & Bug
  • Rock & Ghost
  • Dragon & Dark
  • Steel & Fairy
  • Legendaries

Now for the rules!

  • New swappers with a well filled out profile welcome, though I'll be checking thoroughly and will weed out anyone whom I don't deem trustworthy.
  • 4.95+ rating with no recent 1s or 3s. Same as above, I'll be dealing with this in a case by case basis and will allow people with recent low ratings to join provided they message me and explain the situation, otherwise they'll be removed from the swap.
  • Flakers will be automatically banned. Anyone who flakes on this or any of the future rounds of these swaps will be automatically banned from any of my current and future swaps.
  • You do not need to participate on every round. Anyone can join in whenever they want to, as well as skip a round if need be.
  • Due to the nature of this series of swaps, partner assignation and creation of the next swap in the series might be slightly fast paced. Every new swap will be posted on the send by date of the last one. Please keep this in mind when signing up for this or any of the future swaps in this series.
  • This is an international swap, which means your partner could live in your same country or all the way across the world. Postage fees will vary and delivery times can also be a bit weird - allow two to three weeks for your swap to get to you if your partner does indeed live very far from you.

Remember to make nice and sturdy ATCs of standard size(2.5" by 3.5"), show some effort - no sticker slapping. Make something you're proud of - send something you'd be happy to receive!

If you happen to use Instagram and upload a picture of your creations and/or the ATCs you receive, I'm sure we'd all love to see them! Use the tag #PokeTC and I'll be sure to check them out - beware of spoilers! This is the first round, but in future swaps I'd love to share the pictures you upload for everyone to see :)

Thanks a lot for checking out my swap and contact me if you have any questions.

Hey everyone, thanks for signing up already! Silly me indeed forgot to post a link to all starters so here it is. Keep sending in your questions and comments!

As a reminder, posting your swap on Instagram is not a requirement to join this round or the series at all, it's merely just a little bonus so we can all appreciate everyone's work :)
