Ever wondered if you can trade shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive into that question and get you some answers!
So, you’ve caught a shiny Pokemon and you’re thinking: “Can I trade this shiny treasure with my friend in Pokemon GO?” You’re in the right spot to find out.
Yes, You Can Trade Shiny Pokemon!
Good news, trainers! You can indeed trade shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO. This means if you’ve got a shiny Pokemon that your friend has been dreaming of, you can make their day by trading it with them. But remember, both players need to be at least level 10 to start trading.
Trading shiny Pokemon, or any Pokemon for that matter, isn’t just a simple click. It costs Stardust, and shiny Pokemon are considered special trades. Special trades can only happen once a day and cost more Stardust, especially if you’re trading with a new friend. The better friends you are in the game (think Friendship Levels), the less it’ll cost.
