Our Kanto dataset (FireRed/LeafGreen) has no recorded location for Linking Cord. That doesn't mean the item doesn't exist — it comes from later games or other regions. As soon as we ship more map data, its locations will show up here automatically.

Trade evolution without the trade. Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler, Haunter — some of the strongest evolutions were chained to trading for decades. The Linking Cord from Legends: Arceus finally solves it solo: use it, evolve, done. If your game has this item, trade evolutions go straight onto your radar.
