All Trade Evolutions in Pokemon

Other than the standard levelling process, there is a number of different mechanics involved with evolution in the Pokemon games. This can range from learning new moves, being restricted to gender, using items, and one of the very first evolution mechanics invented; trading. It isn’t always easy to keep track of which ‘Mons evolve through trades, so we’ve got you covered with a complete list of every species that evolves once swapped on to a new Trainer.
