Ever wondered if you can swap items with your friends in Pokemon GO? It’s a question many trainers have. Let’s dive into the world of Pokemon GO and uncover the answer.

So, can you trade items in Pokemon GO? We’re here to break it down for you, step by step.

Short Answer: No, You Can’t

Unfortunately, trading items in Pokemon GO isn’t possible. The game allows trainers to exchange Pokemon with one another, but when it comes to items, there’s no feature that supports this. So, those extra Poke Balls or potions will have to stay in your inventory for now.

This decision by Niantic, the game’s developer, is likely due to wanting to maintain balance in the game and prevent any unfair advantages. Trading items could potentially lead to exploits or imbalances, especially with rarer items.

Trade Pokemon, Not Items

While you can’t trade items, you certainly can trade Pokemon! This feature adds a fun layer of interaction with other players. Trading Pokemon can help fill out your Pokedex or give you a stronger team for battles. Just remember, to start swapping Pokemon, you and your friend need to be close to each other in the real world and have a high enough trainer level.

Trading Pokemon is also a great way to bond with friends and connect with new trainers. Plus, traded Pokemon may become Lucky Pokemon, which require less Stardust to power up!
