Can You Trade From a Distance in Pokemon GO?
Last updated
Ever wondered if you can swap your favorite pocket monsters with friends far away in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive into the mechanics of trading from a distance in this popular augmented reality game.
Trading with someone far away in Pokemon GO has been a hot topic since the game launched. Is it possible, or do you need to be right next to your friend? Let’s find out!
Short Answer: Yes, with Conditions
Pokemon GO does allow distance trading, but it’s not as straightforward as you might hope. Normally, you need to be physically close to the person you want to trade with. However, there are specific conditions under which distance trading becomes possible.
During special events or certain promotional periods, Niantic, the game’s developer, occasionally enables distance trading with increased range. This range can significantly exceed the standard 100 meters, allowing you to trade with friends from afar. The key is to stay updated on the game’s news for these special trading windows.
