About NinVendor: the Pokémon Vending Machine
NinVendor is an automated Pokémon trading service. You pick a Pokémon on this site, pay, and a machine trades it into your own copy of Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield or Legends: Z-A through a normal in-game Link Trade — usually in about two minutes, any hour of the day. It has run since 2023 and has completed more than 1.6 million trades.
A machine, not a marketplace
There is no human on the other end of your trade. The Pokémon you order is built to your specification, checked against the game’s own legality rules, and delivered by an automated trade partner named NinVendor. That is why the service can run around the clock and why every order follows exactly the same steps — see how it works, screenshots included.
Every Pokémon is legality-checked before it is sent. If you want one that Pokémon HOME will accept as well, add the HOME Compatible option: those builds are tested by depositing them into HOME on real consoles before they are ever sold.
Met a Pokémon named after a website?
Yes, that was us. NinVendor advertises by giving away free Pokémon in public trades, nicknamed with one of our addresses — PokeVend.com, PKMVend.com, PKMPlug.com and NinVend.com all lead here. Paid orders never carry an advertising nickname. Just met one? Here is what it is and what to do with it. Wondering whether the whole thing is legitimate? Read the straight answer.
An independent operation
NinVendor is independently owned and operated from Australia and has run since 2023. It is not a reseller, a marketplace storefront or an agency: the same operation that built the machine runs it and answers support. Reach it through the chat on every page or the NinVendor Discord — replies are signed NinVendor.
