First, in Poke Portal Menu, access trade codes by unlocking online play which is available after reaching the first Pokemon Center in Paldea after finishing the game’s tutorial. After deciding the code, you want to swap your starter, follow the steps below to trade with another trainer.

  • Go into the menu by pressing X 
  • Press L to ensure you are online
  • Go to Poke Portal Menu
  • Opt for link Trade
  • Enter desired trade code
  • Press Begin Searching 
  • Choose the Pokemon for swapping 
  • Confirm the trade

These trade codes are reversible for both parties; for example, trading a Sprigatito with Fuecoco uses the same for Fuecoco with a Sprigatito. We insist you check the Pokemon your trading partner is offering to avoid an exchange of the same Pokemon. In case this happens, leave the trade and try again with the same code.

Where To Find More Codes?

Furthermore, you can bookmark our page in case of the availability of new codes, and the page will be updated.

What Is Pokemon Scarlet And Violet?

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are the first open-world RPGs in the Pokemon Franchise. Similar to all Pokemon games, you explore the urban and rural areas of the game and collect various Pokemon. Using them, you take part in battles with different trainers. Along with this, the game offers many challenges and plot points. Moreover, this Pokemon game has increased the number of characters as compared to previous games.

What Are Link Trade Codes?

The link trade code system is one of the most effective ways to obtain Paradox Pokemon, version exclusives, or even starters in Pokemon Scarlet And Violet. Similar to all games in the Pokemon Franchise, you can only receive version-exclusive starters only by trading or going to another trainer’s game.

You use these codes to swap your Pokemon with another player’s starter. Like Pokemon Sword And Shield, when players enter the code, it shows that both of them are looking for a specific kind of Pokemon trade. In this way, trainers are matched.

This marks the end of our guide. We hope all the compiled trade codes for Pokemon Scarlet And Violet above will help you secure the best trades. These codes were compiled to swap perfect Pokemon based on compatibility factors like generation, deck number, and levels of evolution. At the moment, all of these codes are working.
