Revision as of 10:18, 2 March 2016
The subject of this article has no official name. The name currently in use is a fan designator; see below for more information. |
This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. Reason: IVs of XY Magikarp and Eevee |
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 languages, in the handheld games and Pokémon Stadium this original Trainer is displayed in ALLCAPS ("TRAINER" in English), whereas in Pokémon Stadium 2 it is displayed in title case ("Trainer" in English).
Red and Blue / Red and Green
In Pokémon Red and Blue, Nidoran♂ is traded for Nidoran♀; in Pokémon Red and Green, Nidoran♀ is traded for Nidoran♂.
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 different than a wild Pokémon of the same species would have if it were traded.

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.
- A possible third mistake is that the genders in the Nidoran trade on Route 5 were swapped around in Pokémon Red and Blue. In Pokémon Red and Green, the player trades Nidoran♀ for Nidoran♂, while in Red and Blue, they trade Nidoran♂ for Nidoran♀.
- If the player equips Haunter with an Everstone in Pokémon Crystal and trades it for Paul's Xatu, it will still evolve into Gengar.
