Can You Trade a Traded Pokemon in Pokemon GO?

Last updated
Ever wondered if you could trade a Pokemon that was already traded to you in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive into this topic and clear up any confusion.
Many players ask themselves, “Can I trade a Pokemon that’s already been traded to me in Pokemon GO?” The game is all about catching and trading, but what happens when you want to pass on a Pokemon you received from a friend?
Short Answer: No
In Pokemon GO, once you receive a Pokemon through a trade, you cannot trade it again. That’s right, Pokemon in this game are like boomerangs that don’t come back; once they’ve landed with a new trainer, they’re there to stay.
This rule helps keep the game fair and exciting. It prevents players from repeatedly trading Pokemon to get the perfect stats or moves. Think of it as a way to make each Pokemon you trade for special, something to cherish and train up as your own.
