In-Game Trades

Like past Pokémon games, there are numerous Pokémon that you don't get by capturing, but rather by a person kindly trading you the Pokémon as part of a mission. This is often the easiest way to get most of these Pokémon and in some cases, the only way.

In the Shopping Centre off Rouge Street, you will find a lady, Tracie, who has got an evolution stone. She would like for you to trade a Pikachu to her in exchange for her Heracross. Once you do the trade, she will immediately evolve the Pikachu into Raichu.
