If the player talks with the woman at the counter of the lobby of the {{DL|Global Terminal|Global Trade Station}}, she will direct them into a room where they can either put up a Pokémon to be traded or trade a Pokémon they own for one that has been put up for trade.

In searching for Pokémon, after the player chooses one species that they have seen, the search can be further narrowed down by [[level]], [[gender]], and the country where the person trading it is from. These four categories were introduced in order to mitigate trades being pushed to the bottom and becoming overshadowed by others. By level, players can search for and request Pokémon level 9 and under, level 10 and up, level 20 and up, and so on until level 100, or they can search for Pokémon of any level. Gender is similar, with the player being able to search for male, female, or either gender of the selected Pokémon, though searching for a [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] species automatically sets the gender to 'either'.

Offering a Pokémon is similarly restricted, such that the player can only request a Pokémon they have previously seen. Unfortunately, Pokémon that are offered cannot be bargained, and the player must choose a single Pokémon they want for the Pokémon they are offering, instead of having a more flexible list.
