How to Trade Pokemon on GBA

Trading Pokemon using your GBA (Game Boy Advance) is easy and straightforward. All you'll need is a linking cable to establish a connection between the two GBAs. Trading Pokemon can be useful, as different versions of the game carry different Pokemon not present in yours. In addition, trading opens up different evolution possibilities. Be careful when trading Pokemon, however, as some are extremely rare and may only appear once in the game. If you trade them away you'll never be able to get them back!
