In-Game Trades

A staple of the Pokemon series is the ability to trade Pokemon, and as in every previous version you're given a few opportunities to do this in-game. Unlike previous generations though there are no exclusive Pokemont to be found in these in-game trades, making them somewhat redundant. As in Gold and Silver they sometimes can aid you with parts of the game where you may have a massive type disadvantage against a particular Gym Leader and little options in the wild. What's unique about these monsters is that they each have a highly boosted contest stat, a few points in the other contest stats, and sheens all set to 10. These games sport the fewest trades at just three:

#296 Maukhita

Location: Rustboro City

Method:
The first in game trade you'll probably encounter is this one in the house beside Rustboro Gym. Here you can trade the relatively rare Slakoth for a Pokemon you cannot obtain at this point, Makuhita. This can be useful for the gym if you picked Torchic and do not wish to grind it up to Level 16. Makuhita also comes equipped with X Attack to boost your chances at victory.
