* If the player equips Haunter with an Everstone in Crystal, trading it to the NPC for his Xatu will not prevent its evolution.
 
===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 [[Level#Underleveled Pokémon|lower level]] than normally possible.
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 [[Level#Underleveled Pokémon|lower level]] than normally possible.
* {{p|Electrode}} does not evolve from {{p|Voltorb}} until level 30, but can be obtained by trading a level 3 {{p|Raichu}} which has been caught in [[Viridian Forest]] and evolved by {{evostone|Thunder Stone|Thunderstone}}. This trade can be made in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and Red and Blue (Red and Green in Japan).
* {{p|Machop}} evolves into {{p|Machoke}} at level 28 (though can be found as low as level 15 in [[Generation II]]'s [[Rock Tunnel]]) and then {{p|Machamp}} by trading. By breeding a Cubone in Generation II and trading it to Yellow, Machamp can be obtained at level 5.
* {{p|Diglett}} evolves into {{p|Dugtrio}} at Level 26. By breeding {{p|Lickitung}} in Generation II and trading it to Yellow, Dugtrio can be obtained at level 5, which in turn can be traded over into Crystal to get a level 5 {{p|Magneton}}.
** {{p|Dugtrio}} evolves at level 26, but can also be traded for a {{p|Magneton}} (which does not normally evolve until level 30) in {{game|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* By breeding {{p|Tangela}} in Generation II and trading it to Yellow, Parasect can be obtained at level 5.
* {{p|Seel}} evolves into {{p|Dewgong}} at Level 34. By breeding {{p|Growlithe}} in Generation II and trading it to Yellow, Dewgong can be obtained at level 5.
* By breeding {{p|Kangaskhan}} in Generation II and trading it to Yellow, Muk can be obtained at level 5.
* {{p|Dragonair}} evolves from {{p|Dratini}} at level 30, and in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} can be traded for a {{p|Rhydon}} which does not normally evolve from {{p|Rhyhorn}} until level 42. In {{game|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the same trade is for a {{p|Dodrio}}, which does not normally evolve until level 31. Dragonair can also be fished at a level as low as 10 on {{rt|45|Johto}}, but only in [[Generation II]].
** A level 15 {{p|Rhydon}} can be obtained in {{game|Yellow}} by {{m|Surf}}ing on {{rt|6|Kanto}} for a Level 15 {{p|Golduck}} and trading with a Trainer in the [[Pokémon Lab]].
* {{p|Gloom}} evolves at level 21, but can be traded for a {{p|Rapidash}} which does not normally evolve until level 40. This occurs only in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. The lowest level a {{p|Gloom}} can be caught is Level 14 in {{rt|24|Kanto}} in {{game|Crystal}}. In {{game|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} the trade is replaced by a {{p|Haunter}} for a {{p|Xatu}} (which in turn can be traded for a level 17 Haunter found on {{rt|8|Kanto}}, given that neither evolve until level 25).
If the player equips Haunter with an Everstone in Crystal, trading it to the NPC for his Xatu will not prevent its evolution.


Before [[Generation IV]], Pokémon Eggs hatched at level 5, but some Pokémon could be caught in the wild as low as level 2. In-game trades allow these to be traded for Pokémon which normally cannot be found below level 5. In Pokémon Blue (Japan), a level 2 {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Rattata}} and level 3 {{p|Jigglypuff}} can be traded for {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Mr. Mime}}, respectively. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, a level 3 {{p|Pikachu}} obtained from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} can be traded for a level 3 {{p|Skitty}}, which in turn can be traded in {{game|Emerald}} for a level 3 {{p|Meowth}}.
