NPC Trades

Introduction

Throughout your journey in Polished Crystal, you'll encounter various NPCs willing to trade their Pokémon for specific species. These in-game trades offer several advantages:

  • Nearly Perfect IVs - All traded Pokémon have excellent Individual Values (14 in all stats in Polished's 0-15 IV system), making them helpful competitively
  • Hidden Abilities - Every traded Pokémon comes with its Hidden Ability (which can be difficult to obtain otherwise!)
  • Beneficial Natures - Each trade has a pre-determined nature that matches the Pokémon's strengths
  • Held Items - Traded Pokémon hold useful items.
    • Ex: Grimer's Eviolite is great for any un-evolved Pokémon!
  • Special Poké Balls - Each Pokémon is contained in a unique ball
