Does the Linking Cord Appear in Pokemon Legends: Z-A?
The Linking Cord Is Not in the Game
Unfortunately, the Linking Cord does not appear in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, which means that Pokemon like Alakazam or Gengar can only be acquired through trading.
However, Game8 has a trading board that can help you trade for these Pokemon and more!
