- In-Game Trades with NPC's

Please note that some of these trades are really not worth doing because you are giving a better Pokemon than you are receiving, however all of the potential trades are included here in case you actually want to do these trades...

Beldum - Obtained in trade with Steven for a Forretress in the Lobby Level of Silph Company AFTER you have both obtained the Hoenn starter and had the random encounter with him in the Pewter Museum (I am not certain if you have to have captured Latias first).   This is a pretty good trade because the Beldum you get from Steven has a Dawn Stone as its held item.

Dodrio - Obtained from a woman in a house in Blackthorn City by trading her a FEMALE Dragonair.  This is an outrageously unfair trade, and you would have to be a total git to do it, I am just saying.

Machop - Obtained by trading a Drowzee (any Level) to a bloke on the 4th Floor of the Goldenrod City Department Store.

Magneton - Obtained by trading a Scientist at the Power Plant a Dugtrio.  You can do this if you like,, but really Magneton are pretty easy to get, whereas Dugtrio are not so easy to get.

Onix - Obtained by trading a Bellsprout (any Level) to a bloke in the house near the Center in Violet City.

Pikachu - Obtained by trading a Pikachu caught in the Viridian Forest to Lt. Surge in the Saffron City Magnet Train Station AFTER you defeat him in a rematch battle.  The Pikachu that he trades you has a foreign Dex Entry, which is sort of cool, but other than that it is bog-standard.

Rhyhorn - Obtained by trading a Bonsly to Brock inside the entrance to Diglett's Cave on Saturdays between 17:00 and 20:00 after a few dialogue exchanges.  If you are not aware, a Bonsly is the first evolutionary form of a Sudowoodo (there is only ONE Sudowoodo in the game, so if you killed rather than captured the one that was blocking the path you are SOL), but as the Rhyhorn arrives knowing the move Thunder Fang, this is actually a desirable trade...   To obtain the Bonsly you will need to breed your Sudowoodo (with it holding a Rock Incense) with a Ditto, and then hatch the egg.   

Steelix - Obtained by trading any Pokemon to Gym Leader Jasmine AFTER you have defeated her in the rematch battle. 

Voltorb - Obtained from a bloke in a house in Olivine City in exchange for a Krabby (any Level).  Note that there are rocks you can smash to obtain a Krabby from in Cianwood City if you did not collect the Fishing Rod Key Items.

Xatu - Obtained by trading a Haunter to a bloke in the Pewter City Pokemon Center.  This is actually a fair trade as the Haunters are easy to get, whereas Xatu? Not so much.
