The process uses the same trading sequence as player trades and is usually done for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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 Move]]s. | An '''in-game trade''' or '''NPC trade''' is a [[trade]] made with [[Non-player character|NPC]]s in the [[core series]] and [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off]] [[Pokémon games]].
