There are various ways in which a trainer can evolve their Pokemon. With the introduction of trade evolutions, feeding Candy to Pokemon is not the only way to do so anymore. This method was introduced in 2020 in Pokemon Go and is quite different from the role playing shenanigans that the mainlines follow. Initially, however, this was first introduced in Pokemon Red and Blue, and is only specific to a few Pokemon.
Trade evolutions allow players to quickly evolve specific Pokemon by trading them with friends. It’s a great way to fill out one's Pokedex and add some extra difficulty to the game that we all love.
In this article, we’ll take a look at all the Pokemon that evolve by trading.
