An in-game trade is a trade made with a non-player character within the course of a main series Pokémon game. They are usually 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.
The Trainer conducting the in-game trade will—in every case but one—specify a Pokémon they want to trade for. The Pokémon the player receives in the trade will have fixed OT and ID numbers; in later games the held items, natures, and IVs are fixed as well. Each Pokémon, likewise, has a nickname.
Like Pokémon traded externally, the traded Pokémon will be treated as an "outsider", and gain a boosted amount of experience points in battle. Until Generation V, all Pokémon have the same level as the Pokémon it was traded for (except in Pokémon XD).
Generation I
All Trainer ID numbers and IVs are random in Generation I.
If any of these Pokémon are viewed in Pokémon Stadium 2 (but not Pokémon Stadium), the OT will be "Trainer" instead, in title case rather than ALLCAPS. If any of these Pokémon are traded to a compatible game in another language (any European language game), the OT will be translated.

Unused trades
In Generation I, there are two unique trades which were implemented into Red and Blue and Pokémon Yellow but were never assigned to any NPC in game. From the player's perspective, these are a Butterfree for Beedrill trade and a Pidgeot for Pidgeot trade respectively. The nickname of the traded Beedrill, originally known as "チクチク" in Red and Green was converted to "CHIKUCHIKU" in Red and Blue. For unknown reasons, the data for this trade remained in Pokémon Yellow, though the nickname of the Beedrill was changed to "STINGER". Pokémon Yellow introduced the unused Pidgeot for Pidgeot trade. The nickname of the received Pidgeot is "MARTY". The significance of these trades are unknown.[1][2][3]

Trivia
- 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.
- Electrode does not evolve from Voltorb until level 30, but can be obtained by trading a level 3 Raichu which has been caught in Viridian Forest and evolved by Thunderstone. This trade can be made in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and Red and Blue (Red and Green in Japan).
- Machop evolves into Machoke at level 28 (though can be found as low as level 15 in Generation II's Rock Tunnel) and then Machamp by trading. By breeding a Cubone in Generation II and trading it to Yellow, Machamp can be obtained at level 5.
- Diglett evolves into Dugtrio at Level 26. By breeding 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 Magneton.
- By breeding Tangela in Generation II and trading it to Yellow, Parasect can be obtained at level 5.
- Seel evolves into Dewgong at Level 34. By breeding Growlithe in Generation II and trading it to Yellow, Dewgong can be obtained at level 5.
- By breeding Kangaskhan in Generation II and trading it to Yellow, Muk can be obtained at level 5.
- Dragonair evolves from Dratini at level 30, and in Pokémon Gold and Silver can be traded for a Rhydon which does not normally evolve from Rhyhorn until level 42. In Pokémon Crystal and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the same trade is for a Dodrio, which does not normally evolve until level 31. Dragonair can also be fished at a level as low as 10 on Route 45, but only in Generation II.
- A level 15 Rhydon can be obtained in Pokémon Yellow by Surfing on Route 6 for a Level 15 Golduck and trading with a Trainer in the Pokémon Lab.
- Gloom evolves at level 21, but can be traded for a Rapidash which does not normally evolve until level 40. This occurs only in Pokémon Gold and Silver. In Pokémon Crystal and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver the trade is replaced by a Haunter for a Xatu (which in turn can be traded for a level 19 Haunter found on Route 8, given that neither evolve until level 25).
- Dugtrio evolves at level 26, but can be traded for a Magneton (which does not normally evolve until level 30) in Pokémon Crystal and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
- 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 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 Pidgey and Rattata and level 3 Jigglypuff can be traded for Farfetch'd, Poliwag and Mr. Mime, respectively. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, a level 3 Pikachu obtained from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen can be traded for a level 3 Skitty, which in turn can be traded in Pokémon Emerald for a level 3 Meowth.
- HeartGold and SoulSilver were the first games to feature in-game trades with Gym Leaders: Lt. Surge, Brock, and Jasmine.
