Pokemon Legends Z-A: Trade Code Guide

Here is a complete guide on using a Trade Code in Pokemon Legends Z-A, including how to get them and how to setup your own code.

Pokemon Legends Z-A has removed the Linking Cord, a crucial item helpful in getting trade evolutions without trading in Legends Arceus. So, it has become significantly harder for trainers to complete their Pokedex entries.

However, you can instead use Trade Codes to quite easily find trading partners who are willing to provide you with the Pokemon you want. This guide will go over what a Trade Code is and how it functions in-game.

What is a Trade Code in Pokemon Legends Z-A

A Trade Code essentially functions as a search function to locate a trade partner who is willing to trade and receive a specific Pokemon. Since the Linking Cord has been removed, trading has become necessary to fill the Pokedex.

Although you can get many of the trade evolutions during the post-game Wild Zone 20 (like Gengar and Alakazam), not all of them will be available in-game readily. So, you will definitely not be able to fill the Pokedex without interacting with another trainer.

How To Use a Trade Code in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Here are the steps to enter a Trade Code in game:

• Open the Main Menu (by pressing X) and open the Link Play tab.
• On the right side, click on the Link Trade option.
• Now, click on Faraway Players.
• You will be prompted to enter the code you want.
• The game will search for players who have also entered the same code and pair you together.
• You can now trade away the Pokemon you want to, while also receiving one from the other side.

Trade Codes For Pokemon Legends Z-A

Here are the codes posted by Austin John Plays on his official X account:

Trade Code	Pokemon Traded/Received	Held Item
0063 0063	Kadabra	N/A
0066 0066	Haunter	N/A
0126 0126	Machoke	N/A
0204 0204	Pumpkaboo	N/A
0182 0182	Phantump	N/A
0096 0096	Spritzee	Sachet
0098 0098	Swirlix	Whipped Cream
0137 0137	Slowpoke	King’s Rock
0176 0176	Scyther	Metal Coat
0197 0197	Onix	Metal Coat

You should ensure that the Pokemon you are receiving is the one you want. Moreover, make sure to check the Held Item. Many people might send a Pokemon holding an Everstone over, which would not let the Pokemon evolve.

Moreover, you can also get a Gengar without the need for trading.

How To Set Up Your Own Trade Code

You can easily set up your own Trade Code as well, and share it with your friends. To make this work, you do not need to prepare anything; simply follow the same steps as before and enter whatever new code you wish to create.

Now, you can just share that code with whoever you wish to trade with. This will let you trade, as long as both trainers enter the same code. Now, you can share that code around if you want to popularize a trade code for a particular Pokemon.
