An in-game trade is a trade made with NPCs in the core series and spin-offPokémon 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.
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 language versions of the handheld games and Pokémon Stadium, this string is displayed in ALLCAPS ("TRAINER" in English), whereas in Pokémon Stadium 2 it is displayed in title case ("Trainer" in English).
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.
↑ 1.01.1In Red and Blue, the NPCs claim that the player's Pokémon evolved. Raichu does not have any evolutions while Poliwhirl can only evolve into Poliwrath with a Water Stone in Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow (its trade evolution Politoed was later introduced in Gold and Silver). This is explained by the corresponding trades in Japanese Blue, in which all the Pokémon involved evolve by trade (Cerulean City: player's Machoke for NPC's Haunter; Cinnabar Island: player's Kadabra for NPC's Graveler).
In Nimbasa City, after returning the Dropped Item to the owner and calling them 51 times, Curtis or Yancy (depending on the player's gender), will trade the player a different Pokémon each day, in this order. Each Pokémon has its Hidden Ability and can be either male or female.
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.
