Ah yes, let me give my bank account details to this company known for selling personally identifiable information to military contractors using it to commit crimes against humanity.
As the other commenter said, it didn’t go through Niantic. There were message boards at one point where you could set up a time to meet and make the trade. As I understand it, my entire collection would have been worth the pretty penny. I only kept Pokemon with an IV of 96 or better. I have a bunch of IV 100 Pokemon. The ones that stick out in memory are my Gyrados, Alakazam, the water varient of Evie, Rayquaza, and Raikou.
I was called a conspiracy theorist for dropping the game the first time I heard they were selling data generated from users on the app in 2018.
If you didn’t nuke your account, you may be able to sell some of the Pokemon, at least there used to be ways to do that.

3rd party sale. Think sell account on craigslist.
@AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world didn’t make it sound like there was an official way.

I dropped it around the same time for the same reason. And yeah, got told I was overreacting and leaning too far into the woo-woo.
