Competitive Landscape
In the realm of Pokémon evolution, trading has long been a viable method for progressing certain species. By exchanging Pokémon with another player, either locally or online, trainers can trigger evolutions that would otherwise be impossible. This mechanic adds a social element to the game, encouraging collaboration and fostering community. However, it also introduces potential drawbacks, such as the need to rely on the trustworthiness and availability of other players.
