This page explains how to trade from Pokémon White to Pokémon White 2.

What You Need

Each player needs a Nintendo system that can play Nintendo DS games.

In-Game Requirements

Before you can trade from Pokémon White to Pokémon White 2:

  • In Pokémon White, you need to win the Trio Badge from the Striaton Gym and get the C-Gear from Fennel.
  • In Pokémon White 2, you need to win the Basic Badge in the Aspertia Gym and get the C-Gear from Bianca.

How to Trade

Make sure that both players are using Nintendo DSes or 3DSes and are nearby. (Internet trades are no longer possible for Pokémon Black, Pokémon White, Pokémon Black 2, or Pokémon White 2.)

Method 1: Trade Over Infrared

To trade with a player who is nearby, turn on your C-Gear using the Touchscreen. Tap IR, then tap Trade. Make sure that the game slot of your Nintendo DS is pointing at the game slot of the other player's Nintendo DS. If the other player is not close enough to trade over infrared or you have trouble connecting, use Method 2, which is explained in the next section.

In the room, talk to the player that you want to trade with. When the menu appears, choose Trade.

Now select the pokémon that you want to trade, and choose TRADE when prompted. You will see the pokémon that the other player wants to trade. Choose YES to start the trade.

Method 2: Trade Over Local Wireless

Use this method to trade with players who are nearby, but not close enough to trade over infrared (see above). Go into any Pokémon Center and go to the top floor. Talk to the person on the left to enter the Union Room. The player with whom you want to trade should also go into the Union Room in his or her game.

In the room, talk to the player that you want to trade with. When the menu appears, choose Trade.

Now select the pokémon that you want to trade, and choose TRADE when prompted. You will see the pokémon that the other player wants to trade. Choose YES to start the trade.
