Wonder Trade Pokémon in Pokémon X and Y

Pokémon X and Y was a big step for the Pokémon franchise with many improvements from older games from the company. New 3D graphics, new Pokémon, and much more! Another feature in the X and Y games is having more of an ability to interact with other players via Internet. One feature is Wonder Trade! Wonder Trade is a very simple mechanic, you trade with another person (around the world!). You don't know what you're going to get, which makes it even more fun!

Steps

  1. Catch or breed a Pokémon you want to trade off. It could be any level.
  2. Nickname the Pokémon if desired.
  3. Turn on Internet Connection. If your 3DS is not configured to Internet status, be sure to do so.
  4. Tap the button in the top middle of the PSS (Player Search System) program.
  5. Find the 'Wonder Trade' option and tap it.
  6. Save your game once you're connected to the Internet.
  7. Pick a Pokémon from your party or PC to Wonder Trade.
  8. Trade with another person.
    • If you don't like what the person gave you, you can always Wonder Trade that!
    • Some Pokémon Wonder Traded can be German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and much more! You can see where they originated from in the top left when you view their summary.

Tips

  • You can trade with the person you just Wonder Traded with. Also with other features like battling since they became your acquaintance.
  • Trade Pokémon you don't like from the Wonder Trade back into Wonder Trade.
  • If you don't like the name of the Pokémon you receive, or the gender, you can breed it and then Wonder Trade the original Pokémon.
