A Use for an Evolution Stone! Walkthrough
Catch a Pikachu
To start, head to the Rouge Plaza Wild Zone 3. This is the closest area where you can find a Pikachu, and simply navigate the area until you find one. Catch it afterward.
If you already have a Pikachu, you can skip this step and trade it to Tracie. Otherwise, consider catching another one instead. It can be any Pikachu, regardless of level or gender.

Trade the Pikachu with Tracie
Head back to Passage du Palais and talk to Tracie to start the trade. Choose any Pikachu you have in your box or party, and she’ll give you a Heracross in exchange, completing the side mission.
You’ll also see the Pikachu you caught evolve into a Raichu after the trade! But since it’s traded, you won’t get it back, nor will it be registered in your Pokedex.

Heracross
Another reward you can get from this mission is Heracross. If you’re looking to add a rare Bug or Fighting-type Pokemon to your team, this is the way to go. It also serves as your first step toward getting a Mega Heracross!
Keep in mind that this isn’t completely free, as you’ll need to catch and trade a Pikachu to get the Heracross!
