The Linking Cord triggers the evolution of certain Pokémon (all of which can alternatively evolve when traded). This consumes the Linking Cord.

This item is a reference to how trading (and consequently trade evolutions) required usage of a Game Link Cable in the first three generations of core series games.
There is an evolution item in the first three games of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series called Link Cable, which works similarly to the Linking Cord but predates its introduction.

This item article is part of Project ItemDex, a Bulbapedia project that aims to write comprehensive articles on all items.
