For the past generations, Pokemon's developer Game Freak, included an evolving system through trading Pokemons. Pokemon fans would buy an additional cable before just to get their Kadabras to Alakazams and their Haunters into Gengars. Trade Evolutions are only possible when two players trade each other Pokemon. This phenomenon then evolves the Pokemon to its final form immediately after trading to the other person. You can trade it back afterwards to still keep your Pokemon. The system evolved eventually to just needing wifi for easier access of trading and making global trading even possible. Now, with their newly released Pokemon game entitled Pokemon Legends Arceus, they are now introducing an easier way to complete your Pokedex.

There is a possibility of you straight forward catching them in various areas but there's also an easier way to do it with their pre-evolution.
