Help with trade evolution!!!

[RedRick_MarvelDC]

I want a alakazam in or. But it's a trade. Now obviously you can change species and all but can anyone please suggest me a way to to properly initiate a evolution rather than changing species? While I can change species it might cause legal checks and stuff, which i dont wanna go through. I also tried drag and drop on my pc, and while it does happen to be sorta a trade, it doesnt really evolve my kadabra immediately like I expected. All in all, other that species changing, is there a way to obtain trade evolutions through any mean? Whether it be pkhex or some shady stuff on citra, I am all game. All I want is to properly evolve my kadabra to alakazam rather than replacing it with one. Huge thanks to who ever helps me out here. Looking at you, Slayer......

that's literally what the game does, just change the species.
The only difference is they initiate a cutscene.

Yeah I know that I do, but I was just asking if there was a way to initiate the 'trade' itself rather than directly changing species. As in some other post I saw you say that drag and downing a pokemon from 1 save to the other causes a trade. However, it doesnt evolve my pokemon, not in pkhex not in save, even though it literally just initiates a trade. So that is why I am asking for a way to get trade pokemon other than switching species. Cause that just doesnt feel right. I hoped there was some way I could get around that cut scene for a proper evolution. But even without that, if there is a way to 'trade' a pokemon to evolve it cause it is supposed to evolve through trade not changing species, please tell me. If not, is the species changing the only way? Cause I feel like that's not how it's supposed to be when I do it. Otherwise, worst come, i will use that. Thanks a lot. Pls clarify....

No. There's no 'tradeback NPC' (using a term that was popularized by ROM hacks.

Technically I'm not "causing a trade".

If you think about it, all the games do is swap data around, and play the trading animation.
(and if it evolves, play the evolution animation)

So all I did was do the data swapping by hand.

There's no way to spoof a trade without ROM hacking, with the sole exception being using emulators that are capable of trading.

Well okay then. That begs the question, can citra trade? I figured you're the pokemon expert so you will know. That be all I needa know. Thanks.....

Well I did find 

 on youtube. Apparently you can trade this way. I do understand the process however if I use a citra nightly build and canary build (two different versions of citra) rather than cloning the actual one will it work? Even better, is this process legit? Tell me tho. Thanks...

As long as your save data is on a hacked console, hacked device, emulator, then it's not legit. Only legal at best.

Well, I still have doubts about the Citra they use. All I can say is "use at your own risk".

So that means this process wont work or will it? Or is it a 50 50?

why don't you test it and find out for yourself?

I've never tried it, so I don't know.
