The subject of this article has no official name. The name currently in use is a fan designator; see below for more information. |
An in-game trade is a trade made with NPCs in the core series and spin-off Pokémon 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.
Prior to Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the NPC Trainer will always specify a Pokémon they want to trade for. The Pokémon the player receives in the trade will have a fixed Original Trainer and nickname; in later games the Trainer ID number, held item, Nature, IVs, and/or level can be fixed as well.
Like Pokémon traded externally, the traded Pokémon will be treated as an outsider, and gain a boosted amount of experience points in battle. Prior to Generation V, every Pokémon has the same level as the Pokémon it was traded for, except in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
List of in-game trades
Generation I
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. With the exception of Pokémon that evolve during that trade and Krabby in Japanese Blue, they have the same item a wild Pokémon of the same species would have if it were traded to a Generation II game; Pokémon that evolve during the trade have the item their evolved form would have, while Krabby has TM13 (Snore) instead of TM33 (Ice Punch).
Red and Blue/Green
In Pokémon Red and Blue, Nidoran♂ is traded for Nidoran♀; in Pokémon Red and Green, Nidoran♀ is traded for Nidoran♂.
|
Blue (Japan)
|
Yellow
|
- ↑ This Pokémon will evolve due to being traded but Pokédex data for the unevolved Pokémon will be registered first.
Unused trades
There are a few in-game trades in the game data of Generation I games which are not assigned to any NPC.

Unused trades
This (full) data is stored in Mobile System GB related code for Japanese Pokémon Crystal. It also appears earlier in the ROM, but with the Original Trainer data not included. Kabīn is possibly a reference to the Game Freak Kōji Nishino and Snorlax (Japanese: カビゴン) in-jokes, and the early 'Kabīn battle' concept art. The code remains in English Crystal, however, the Japanese names were not translated; resulting in garbage text, and the game causes problems as it expects the English name length.
|
Generation III
Several Pokémon have raised Contest conditions, including those from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen but excluding those from Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness (which also do not have set IVs). These Pokémon all have one Contest condition raised by 30 and all other Contest conditions raised by 5, with a feel (sheen in Generation IV) of 10.
Ruby and Sapphire
|
FireRed and LeafGreen
|
Emerald
|
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 If this Pokémon is evolved in a Generation IV or V game, its Ability will become its second Ability.
XD: Gale of Darkness
|
Generation IV
Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum
In the English language version of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Kazza, Charap, and Gaspar are functionally Japanese in origin. While this has no effect in the Generation IV games (since their species do not have foreign Pokédex entries in the Generation IV games), it becomes noticeable when sent to later generations. These Pokémon have the correct language of origin if obtained in any other game language or Pokémon Platinum.
|
- ↑ Chatot's Contest conditions are set to 20.
- ↑ Due to holding an Everstone, this Haunter will not evolve when obtained in this trade.
HeartGold and SoulSilver
|
- ↑ Brock's Rhyhorn knows Thunder Fang.

Yancy/Curtis
In Nimbasa City, after returning the Dropped Item to the owner and calling them 51 times, Yancy or Curtis (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.
- If the player is male
Yancy's Pokémon have the Original Trainer Yancy (Japanese: ルリ Ruri) and Trainer ID number 10303.
- If the player is female
Curtis's Pokémon have the Original Trainer Curtis (Japanese: テツ Tetsu) and Trainer ID number 54118.

Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!
In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, all in-game trades can be repeated an unlimited amount of times. These trades are the only way to obtain Alola Forms outside of GO Park or trading with other players. All traded Pokémon have no nicknames, have randomized Natures, and can be either gender and Shiny.
|
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 lower level than normally possible.

Trivia
- In Pokémon Red and Blue, the Scientist at the Pokémon Lab on Cinnabar Island who trades Electrode for Raichu claims that Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This is due to a context-ignorant translation of the Japanese Pokémon Blue text, in which the player trades Kadabra for Graveler, both of which evolve by trade.
- Similarly, the old man who trades the player Jynx for Poliwhirl in Cerulean City claims that Poliwhirl "went and evolved". Poliwhirl does not evolve by trade in the Generation I games but rather through the use of a Water Stone. In the context of the Japanese Pokémon Blue, the old man trades away Haunter for Machoke, both of which evolve by trade.
- In Pokémon Crystal, even if the player has their Haunter hold an Everstone and trades it for Chris's Xatu "Paul", Chris will still comment that it evolved into Gengar.
