PLATINUM EMERALD

Trade evolutions

You never need a second player. Every Pokemon Center in all four regions has a trade machine: a scientist standing to the right of the nurse's counter. Talk to him, choose a Pokemon, and it is sent out and back as if it were traded, so a Pokemon that evolves by trade evolves on the spot.

  • If the evolution needs a held item, give the item to the Pokemon first. The item is used up, as in a real trade.
  • A Pokemon holding an Everstone does not evolve.
  • If nothing would happen, the machine says so and the Pokemon stays as it is.
