How to Evolve Pokémon by Trading in Pokémon Legends: Z-A
Evolving Pokémon is an essential part of your progress in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. However, some Pokémon can only evolve through trading. Additionally, certain trades require a specific trade code, and others may need the Pokémon to hold a special item during the trade. This guide covers everything you need to know about evolving Pokémon through trading.

How to Use Trade Codes to Evolve Your Pokémon
To evolve your Pokémon using trade codes, follow these steps:
- Make sure you have the relevant Pokémon ready and that it is holding any required item listed above.
- From the main menu, select the Link Play option.
- Choose Link Trade, then select Faraway Players.
- Enter the trade code corresponding to your Pokémon’s evolution.
Once you enter the trade code, you will be randomly linked to another player who is using the same code. Upon a successful trade, both players will receive the evolved form of the traded Pokémon.
Tips for Successful Trading
The biggest challenge with this method is coordinating with another player who is actively using the same trade code at the same time. If you find it difficult to connect with players in-game, consider joining a community Discord or online forum dedicated to Pokémon Legends: Z-A. These communities often organize trade sessions and can help you complete your evolutions quickly.
