A '''trade'''<!--Link Trade--> (Japanese:<!--{{j|{{tt|通信交換|つうしんこうかん}}}}--> '''{{j|{{tt|交換|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. In every Pokémon game, trading is necessary to collect all Pokémon.

Starting from [[Generation II]], [[item]]s can be held by Pokémon, allowing indirect trading of holdable items. However, in Generation IV, the {{DL|Timespace orbs|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.

The [[Poké Transfer]] feature allows Pokémon to be migrated from any Generation IV game. Pokémon can be migrated up to six at a time using a catapult minigame sent to another DS using Download Play. This minigame can transfer Pokémon from an inserted Generation IV Pokémon cartridge. Migrating with the Poké Transfer is one-way, requires both games to be from the same language, and cannot migrate Eggs or Pokémon holding items. There is no daily limit to use of the Poké Transfer.

The [[Relocator]] allows the transfer of {{p|Celebi}} and the Shiny [[legendary beasts]] from a Generation IV game. It is available earlier in the game than the Poké Transfer, which requires the player to have acquired the [[National Pokédex]] and defeated the [[Elite Four]].

Similar to Black and White, the player cannot trade Pokémon until they have received the {{badge|Basic}} from the [[Aspertia Gym]] and have received the C-Gear from [[Bianca]]. There is no prerequisite to trade with Black and White. The Poké Transfer is also available after obtaining the [[National Dex]], allowing Pokémon from Generation IV to be transferred to Black 2 and White 2.

The trading process received an overhaul in Generation V: now called a '''negotiation trade''', it allows players to offer and trade Pokémon from either their current party or directly from their PC's storage system.

During the trade, each player may select up to three Pokémon to offer the other player. Once decided, they may review the offered Pokémon (checking stats, Ability, etc.) and confirm one to be traded. Players may trade several Pokémon in a row if desired.

The trade machine used in the anime has seemingly been adapted into the game canon, with [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory in both {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{g|Stadium 2}} having this type of machine for trades. In the same way, when Game Link Cables were finally able to accept the data of two Pokémon being sent at once (rather than one at a time as in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}}), the Pokémon are shown passing each other in the link space.

Like the anime, the Pokémon Adventures Manga does not contain many trades despite being a major part of the games. Most are not shown to need a machine to complete them. Simply hand-exchanging Pokémon can count as a trade, though it is also possible to trade by placing Pokédexes opposite each other.
