trading Pokemon Platinum to Evolution

how does trading Pokemon in platinum for evolvements work?

[Zidarose]

From our guide: Pokemon Evolution 200

Trade:
The first style of evolution in Pokemon that encouraged social behavior or having 2 Gameboys and 2 of the games to get the species. It started simply, just requiring you to send it over to a friend and that would be enough. Now though, an item can be required to trigger the evolution. Be careful as some of these evolutions can only be done once. It is worth noting that a trade-based evolution will follow roughly the same move-gain as its previous form.

Kadabra --> Alakazam
Machoke --> Machamp
Graveller --> Golem
Haunter --> Gengar
