Located in Jubilife City, the Global Wonder Station, or GWS for short, serves as a point for Wonder Trading where players place a Pokémon in the trading system and receive a random Pokémon traded by a random trainer. There are many trade points from which Pokémon can be traded. When trading a Pokémon, players are asked to select a trade point with which to trade, after which the game searches for a player in that location.

Overall, there are 630 trade points spread across the world from which to trade in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Wonder Trading was, and still is, a mechanic beloved by fans, as the anticipation of what Pokémon they would receive never got old.

Let's go, Sinnoh!
