Despite it being one of the key aspects of the games, trading is unusually rare in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]].  Only a few trades have taken place, and only one of them thus far has been truly significant.  Fans have often speculated about the reason for this.
* In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] traded his [[Ash's Butterfree|Butterfree]] for a [[Gentleman]]'s [[Ash's Raticate|Raticate]].  He wasn't happy with the trade, however, so he traded it back by the end of the episode.
* In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', [[Jessie]] unintentionally traded her [[Jessie's Lickitung|Lickitung]] for [[Benny]]'s [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]].

There are a variety of trades that can be made with trainers within the game. These are usually for Pokémon that are difficult to obtain, a rarity at the point the trainer is reachable, or for Pokémon that can only be obtained through trading. All Pokémon received from an in-game trade will be at the same level as the Pokémon sent.

The trade of Raichu for Electrode causes a funny error. If you talk to the man after trading, he says, "That RAICHU you traded me went and evolved!" Raichu, of course, can't evolve.
