Trading FAQ

How do you trade in Cobblemon?

Press R while looking at another player to open the interaction menu, then select Trade. Once both players accept, you can offer any Pokémon from your party or PC. On Cobblemon.gg you can also list Pokémon and items server-wide with /auction.

Do trade evolutions work in Cobblemon?

Pokémon that traditionally evolve through trading (like Kadabra or Haunter) evolve using the Link Cable item in Cobblemon, so you don't need a trade partner. Some also need to hold a specific item, like Metal Coat for Scyther. See the evolutions guide for details.
