A '''trade''' is a process in which a [[Pokémon Trainer]] sends one of his or her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to another Trainer in exchange for one of the other trainer's Pokémon. In every Pokémon game, trading is necessary to collect all Pokémon. | A '''trade''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|通信交換|つうしんこうかん}}''') is a process in which a [[Pokémon Trainer]] sends one of his or her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to another Trainer in exchange for one of the other trainer's Pokémon.

Starting from [[Generation II]], [[item]]s can be held by Pokémon when traded. The only items unable to be held by Pokémon, and therefore unable to be traded are [[key item]]s, [[HMs]], and, in [[Generation V]], [[TMs]]. In addition, the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}} cannot be traded in [[Generation IV]], as it will automatically be put back in the bag when a player with Origin Forme Giratina in their party enters the Union Room or Wi-Fi. Certain items, when held by the correct Pokémon, will trigger an evolution when traded to another player. [[Mail]] may also be held to send a message. | Starting from [[Generation II]], [[item]]s can be held by Pokémon when traded.
