An in-game trade is a trade made with NPCs in the core series and spin-off Pokémon games. The process uses the same trading sequence as player trades and is usually done for Pokémon that are difficult or impossible to obtain through other means, or for Pokémon unavailable at that point of the game. In later games, the traded Pokémon often has special moves, like Egg Moves.

Prior to Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the NPC Trainer will always specify a Pokémon they want to trade for. The Pokémon the player receives in the trade will have a fixed original Trainer and nickname; in later games the Trainer ID number, held item, Nature, IVs, and/or level can be fixed as well.

Like Pokémon traded externally, the traded Pokémon will be treated as an outsider, and gain a boosted amount of experience points in battle. Prior to Generation V, every Pokémon has the same level as the Pokémon it was traded for, except in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

List of in-game trades

Generation I

All Trainer ID numbers and IVs are random in the Generation I games. The original Trainer always uses the hardcoded text string 0x5D, which is displayed as TRAINER (Japanese: トレーナー Trainer) in the game's language. In Western language versions of the handheld games and Pokémon Stadium, this string is displayed in ALLCAPS ("TRAINER" in English), whereas in Pokémon Stadium 2 it is displayed in title case ("Trainer" in English).

The held item column refers to the item the Pokémon will be holding if it is traded to a Generation II game. This item is not necessarily the same item a wild Pokémon of the same species would have if it were traded to a Generation II game.

Red and Blue/Green

In Pokémon Red and Blue, Nidoran♂ is traded for Nidoran♀; in Pokémon Red and Green, Nidoran♀ is traded for Nidoran♂.

Several Pokémon have raised Contest conditions, including those from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen but excluding those from Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness (which also do not have set IVs). These Pokémon all have one Contest condition raised by 30 and all other Contest conditions raised by 5, with a feel (sheen in Generation IV) of 10.

Underleveled Pokémon

Since the Pokémon received in an in-game trade is the same level as the one traded prior to Generation V, it is sometimes possible to receive a Pokémon at a lower level than normally possible.

Trivia

• In Pokémon Red and Blue, the Scientist at the Pokémon Lab on Cinnabar Island who trades Electrode for Raichu claims that Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This is due to a context-ignorant translation of the Japanese Pokémon Blue text, in which the player trades Kadabra for Graveler, both of which evolve by trade.
  • Similarly, the old man who trades the player Jynx for Poliwhirl in Cerulean City claims that Poliwhirl "went and evolved". Poliwhirl does not evolve by trade in the Generation I games but rather through the use of a Water Stone. In the context of the Japanese Pokémon Blue, the old man trades away Haunter for Machoke, both of which evolve by trade.
• In Pokémon Crystal, even if the player has their Haunter hold an Everstone and trades it for Chris's Xatu "Paul", Chris will still comment that it evolved into Gengar.
