Trading in SV can be somewhat inconvenient due to random matchmaking, occasionally resulting in matching with someone offering the same Pokémon. While this can be disappointing, there’s no guaranteed method to always trade with someone owning a different game version.
If you don’t acquire the desired Pokémon, simply end the trade and search for a new partner. The speed of matching depends on how many players are using the same code. Each code can be likened to a room—if it’s crowded, you’ll match quickly; if it’s sparse, you might need to wait longer for a match.
How to use trade codes in Pokémon SV The Indigo Disk
To utilize trade codes in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Indigo Disk, ensure you have an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription and follow these steps:
- Launch Pokémon Scarlet or Violet and press X to access the Main Menu.
- Choose Poké Portal to initiate.
- On the subsequent screen, select Link Trade from the left menu (the third option from the top).
- Click on Set Link Code in the ensuing pop-up.
- Enter the trade code for the desired Pokémon swap.
- Tap Begin Searching to connect with another player.
- Once paired, double-check the trade. If they possess the Pokémon you need, proceed with the trade.
This method significantly simplifies acquiring elusive version-exclusive Pokémon when you lack a trading partner!
All Starter trade codes Pokémon SV The Indigo Disk
In addition to the previous list focusing on version-exclusive and trade-evolving Pokémon, there are specific trade codes for trading Starter Pokémon since every generation’s trio is available in The Indigo Disk.

For instance, to trade your Bulbasaur for a Treecko, input 0001-0252 as the Link Code. Here’s a list of each Starter’s singular code, which can be paired with any other code for trading.
