    Hey there guys,
    I have a Kadabra and an Onix on my Diamond version. I want them to evolve, but I don't have the pearl version or any friends who play this game (so I can't ask them). Can I trade with Ruby to make them evolve without having the national dex? And if so, if I trade them back will they still obey me since they were originally mine? I want a Stellix and an Alakazam bad! Can anyone help me out?
     
    And you cant put anything from diamond to any previous generation, only import to this generation.
     
    However, there is a trick!!!!

    There's a glitch in the GTS that's excellent for those that need to be traded to evolve. Here's how it goes:
    1. log into the GTS
    2. offer whatever pokemon you need to evolve. Say it's Kadabra. Make sure the offer ocnditions are something nuts,s o that no one iwllt ake your Kadabra. I personally like to go with Dialga/Palkia at level 10 and under.
    3. Next, surf the GTS for a trade. This is easiest to do with crud pokemon like Bidoof. Usually, you'll find someone offering a Bidoof for a Ponyta or something.
    4. Make that trade.
    5. Take your Kadabra back from the offering section, and it'll evolve!

    I PROMISE this works. I've gotten a Scizor, Gengar, and Alakazam doing this nifty trick.

    Cool! I'll have to try that. Trading evolutions aren't very fair alot of people (like me), but I'll have to try that. There should be a person making that sort of trade all the time, so people can do that!

    I will translate from the world spelling errors their.

    1. Put up a pokemon that needs to trade evovle for trade on Global Trade System
    - Make sure no one would be stupid enough to trade for by making it an outrageous trade.
    2. Log on to Global Trade System, Look a trade that you can do I.E. Bidoof for Ponyta (easy trade).
    3. trade them
    4. Take your Kadabra off the offering board. It should evovle.

    I dont even have a DS guys and I understand how to do this.
    Wish I did have a ds though.

    Yeah, nice spelling there.:laugh:
     
    If you want a Steelix, you can catch them in the wild on Diamond, and I am pretty sure you can on Peearl too oO
