How to Use Trade Codes to Evolve Your Pokémon
To evolve your Pokémon using these trade codes, follow these steps:
- Ensure you have the relevant Pokémon in your party.
- Make sure the Pokémon is holding the required item if one is specified.
- From the main menu, go to the Link Play option.
- Select Link Trade.
- Choose the Faraway Players option.
- Enter the trade code corresponding to the Pokémon you want to evolve.
Once you enter the code, you will be randomly linked with another player doing the same, and both of you will receive the evolved form of the Pokémon you traded.
Tips for Successful Trading
The main challenge with this process is that someone else must be actively using the same code at the same time for the trade to succeed. To increase your chances:
- Join Pokémon Legends: Z-A community Discord servers or forums where players share trade codes and coordinate trading times.
- Arrange specific times with friends or other players to trade simultaneously.
By using these trade codes effectively, you can complete your Pokédex and enjoy all the evolved forms available in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
