Trading Pokémon has always been a key part of the main series games, and that continues in Pokémon Legends: Z-A with its Mega Dimension DLC. Some Pokémon only fully evolve when you trade them to another player, either in person or online.
If you’re a Pokémon trainer aiming to complete the Pokedex in PLZA and experience everything the game offers, it’s important to know which Pokémon require trading to evolve. This is especially true for those that need specific held items during the trade.
So, in this article, I’m seeing details on all the Pokémon you can catch in Legends: Z-A, including the ones that are totally exclusive to the new Mega Dimension DLC, plus all the Pokémon from the original game. It’s a complete list, which is awesome!

If you evolve a Pokémon by trading and the evolution needs a Held Item, that item will be used up in the process. For example, when a Scyther evolves into a Scizor, the Metal Coat it was holding will be gone after the trade.
