Tom Bowen is a senior editor who loves adventure games and RPGs. He has been playing video games for several decades and has been writing about them professionally since 2020. Although he occasionally dabbles in news and features, he spends most of his time writing guides.
Trading has always played an important role Pokemon games and Pokemon Legends: ZA continues this tradition. There are ten Pokémon that evolve when traded, as well as four special NPC shops that can be found throughout Lumiose City.
The latter are important as they serve as the only way to get Alolan Raichu and Galarian Slowpoke and by extension his two Galarian evolutions. Finding all NPC shops as such Pokemon Legends: ZA should be fairly high on your to-do list.
