Trading has always played an important role in Pokémon games, and Pokemon Legends: ZA continues this tradition. There are ten Pokémon that evolve when traded, as well as four special NPC shops that can be found throughout Lumiose City.
The latter are important, as they act as the only way to get Alolan Raichu and Galarian Slowpoke, and by extension the latter's two Galarian evolutions. As such, finding all NPC loot Pokemon Legends: ZA should be pretty high on your to-do list.
