Can You Trade Long Distance in Pokemon GO?
Last updated
Ever wondered if you can trade Pokemon with friends who are far away in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive into that question with a mix of curiosity and excitement!
So, can you trade Pokemon with someone who’s not right next to you in Pokemon GO? We’re here to clear up the confusion and give you the straight scoop!
Short Answer: Not Usually, But With Exceptions
Normally, to trade Pokemon in Pokemon GO, you and your friend need to be physically close to each other — specifically, within 100 meters. This encourages players to meet up in real life and share their Pokemon GO adventures.
However, there are special events called “Distance Trading” where this rule bends a bit. During these events, Niantic extends the trading distance to allow players to trade Pokemon with friends who are further away, sometimes up to 40 kilometers! But remember, these events aren’t always around, so you’ve got to keep an eye out for announcements from Niantic.
