How to trade items in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Nah, you can't trade items directly, which is a bummer. You have to stick to the old trick of attaching them to Pokémon. Bit of a workaround, but it gets the job done.

Trading items in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is pretty straightforward. You gotta have a friend or someone online ready to trade with you. First, make sure both of you are connected to the internet. Then, access the Poke Portal in the X menu. Choose 'Link Trade' and decide if you want to set a Link Code (so only someone with the code can trade with you) or if you just want to trade with anyone. Once you're connected with your trading partner, select the Pokemon you want to trade, and you can attach an item to that Pokemon. There's no direct item trade option, so this is how you do it. Just attach the item to a Pokemon you don't mind parting with!
