In every [[core series]] Pokémon game except [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], trading is necessary to collect all Pokémon.
In every [[core series]] Pokémon game except [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], trading is necessary to collect all the [[Pokémon availability|available Pokémon]]. The [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] are those that are found in other related games. In addition, s Pokémon [[trade evolution|evolve when traded]]. Some of these Pokémon need to be [[held item|holding]] a specific [[Evolution item]] in order to evolve.


Starting from [[Generation II]], [[item]]s can be held by Pokémon, allowing indirect trading of holdable items. However, in Generation IV, the [[Griseous Orb]] cannot be traded, 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 Room. Certain items, when held by the correct Pokémon, will cause that Pokémon to evolve when traded to another player. [[Mail]] may also be held to send a message.

Until {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2 and White 2}}, all trading animations in the [[core series]] games used the standard {{i|Poké Ball}}, regardless of the types of Balls the traded Pokémon were actually caught in. This is corrected in Black 2 and White 2, in which trade animations show the correct Poké Ball the Pokémon was caught in.

Trading is necessary in order to collect every Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]], as some Pokémon [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|can only be found]] in certain versions. For example, because {{p|Meowth}} cannot be found in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Red}}, the player must trade with someone who has obtained one from Blue, in which Meowth is readily found in the wild. {{cat|Pokémon that evolve through trading|Some Pokémon}} only [[Evolution|evolve]] after being traded.

Traded Pokémon gain 1.5× the normal [[experience]] after a [[Pokémon battle]]. Pokémon traded from a game in another language will gain 1.7× experience.

* {{p|Porygon}} is the only Pokémon to evolve twice via trading. Both evolutions require a held item, namely the [[Upgrade]] and [[Dubious Disc]].
** In addition, {{p|Porygon2}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved from trading that can evolve further.
* The {{p|Clamperl}} family is the only branched evolution in which both evolutions are achieved by trading.
