Trading
The trade system in Pokémon World Online exists as a way for players to trade their Pokémon and other items (such as Pokédollars) to other players. To use the trade system, players must have a reputation of at least 30. In addition, trading can only be done within Pokécenters and both players must be located in the same Pokémon Center. Similar to the hand-held games, certain Pokémon can only evolve through trades (see the section Evolve Pokemon By Trading).
Trade Process
In order for you and your partner to trade, you both require the needed reputation and need to be in the same Pokemon Center. Once you have reached both requires, you can either right-click on your partner and choose "Trade" or type out the command /trade player's name in the chat box. If done correctly, a message should appear on your chat screen that confirms the trade request was sent.
If your partner sent the trade request, a message will appear in the chat box and on your screen. Either click on Yes or type /trade player's name to accept the trade request and open up the trade window.
- N.B. If you have trade requests disabled (done by checking the Disable Trades box under Options), the on-screen message will not appear (but the chatbox message will), and you can only use the command to accept them.
There are a few things you can do once you open up the trade window. To offer a Pokémon, click on the Pokémon you wish to trade on the bottom of the trade screen. The Pokémon's name and level should then appear in the middle of the screen. You can roll your mouse over to see the stats of the Pokémon being offered.
To offer Pokédollars, click on the box on the top-right labeled Pokédollars, type the amount of Pokémoney you want to offer, and then press the Enter key. The Pokédollars that will be traded are listed on the bottom of the Player's trade offer (right above the row which displays your Pokémon).
Your items are listed on the right side of the trade screen. If you cannot see all your items in the inventory, use the scroll bar on the right. Please note that some items can not be traded. To offer items, simply click on the item you wish to include in the trade. The item will then show up in the middle of the screen (in the same place where Pokémon show up).
Once the offer is correctly set-up (make sure you check the stats of each Pokémon being offered so you know you're getting the correct one), press the Accept Trade button. Both you and your partner will have to accept the trade in order to move on. Note that if the trade is altered in any way after you accepted the trade, you will need to re-accept the trade.
Once you and your partner have accepted the trade, you will be taken to the second trade window. On this window, scan over the trade offer again (don't forget to check the stats of each Pokémon by rolling your mouse over the name) and make sure everything is correct. Once you are certain you want to complete the trade, click the button Yes, I'm sure to confirm the trade. Again, you will have to wait until both you and your partner confirm the trade for the trade to be completed.
After both you and your partner have confirmed the trade, the trade process is over. The Pokédollars should be updated and the items should automatically be added into your inventory. Pokémon are automatically inserted into your PC, so they won't automatically appear in your party unless you have a free space.
Evolve Pokemon By Trading
Similar to the hand-held games, certain Pokémon can only evolve through trade. Currently, Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler, and Haunter are the only Pokémon that can evolve through trading. Other Pokémon that normally evolve by trading (e.g. Poliwhirl) cannot currently evolve in Pokémon World Online due to the absence of the ability to have Pokémon hold items.
In order to evolve Pokémon through trading, put the Pokémon you wish to evolve in the first party position and find someone to trade with (it does not have to be someone you know). Once the trade window is open, simply offer 1 Pokédollar and go through the trade process (accepting and confirming the trade of 1 Pokédollar). After the trade is completed, the evolution window will appear, which will allow you to evolve the Pokémon.
