Trade Evolutions in Legends: Arceus
Legends: Arceus has 12 trade evolutions, worked through items instead of a trade partner. Haunter, Graveler, Machoke and Kadabra evolve from a Linking Cord, and Onix, Scyther and the rest just get their item used on them. Jubilife Village sells the Linking Cord, and Space-Time Distortions turn up Electirizers and Magmarizers.
