How would you do "Trading"
I was thinking of some compromise way between unlimited and none.
What if worked like this?
You click on a Pokemon (Say Mr. Mime) and hit trade button. You type in the name of the Trainer to send it to. It then pops up the pokedex for "what do you want in return" and you click your choice. (Say Tauros)
Meanwhile the other person sees that you offered them a Trade of Mr. Mime for Tauros. Do you accept or Deny. If accept you then pick a Tauros.
It then sends the Tauros back with a final confirmation (so the original person can preview what they getting)
If accepted viola.
Now in order to keep it from chaos and bought stuff.
You could choose a limiter
Limit 1 Trade Per Month (with anyone)
or
Limit of 2 Traders forever (between 2 specific trainers)

that's why I had the limiter ideas in there.
If you could only trade 1 or 2 times with the same account ever, it would limit the spoofers.
Or perhaps the better option would be 1 or 2 trades per month. If you could only trade 1 time a month, the impact on spoofers would be limited. 12 good pokemon a year, assuming you didn't want to complete your pokedex with regionals, wouldn't make or break the balance of the game.
