Details on a certain trade

[bombarda_maxima]

Hi everyone, this is my first post, but I think this was the best place to post this question.

Okay, so maybe a SPOILER here:

I'm looking for the pokemon trapinch, and I know from the location guide that you're supposed to be able to trade for one in Chrysolia Forest, but I've searched the forums, google, and youtube like crazy and can't get many additional details other than that. Anyway, I can't find anybody in the forest who wants to trade in the first place. So, my question has multiple parts:

1. Are there any events/checkpoints/things I need to complete in the storyline before I can find the trader?

2. Where exactly in Chrysolia forest is the trader located?

3. What pokemon does he/she/they ask for in return?

Any help at all is greatly appreciated, I really really like crazily want a Flygon on my team. Thanks in advance!

The trader will want a Cryoganal (Big Snowflake Pokemon). You have to run into a house in Spinel Town and make it teleport, The trader will be in the teleported house.

Sorry it's Mothim!

Also the teleported house should be in the northern part of the woods right near a cave of sorts.

Until E14 it was Stunfisk for Cryogonal and Trapinch was an Arcade prize and coingrinding nightmate. In E15 it's Mothim for Trapinch, Cryogonal was moved to Ametrine mountain, Stunfisk replaced Carnivine in a later trade so go get one while you can, and we got new Arcade prizes.

Ame hates Water types so irrationally much that the Psyduck line was moved from the Arcade to Ametrine after defeating Samson and getting Surf. PSYDUCK!!!

To be fair, it's Psyduck. You could be given a level 100 one at the start of the game, people still wouldn't use Psyduck.

Locking as the issue was resolved.
