Trading is necessary in order to collect every Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]], as each game is missing Pokémon which cannot be found except in another compatible game. For example, Meowth cannot be found in Pokémon Red, and the player must trade with someone who has a copy of Pokémon Blue, where Meowth is readily found in the wild. {{cat|Pokémon that evolve through trading|Some Pokémon}} only [[Evolution|evolve]] after being traded.
