Can You Trade Shinies in Pokemon GO? Here’s What You Need to Know!
Last updated
Ever wondered if your shimmering, rare shinies can find new homes with your friends in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive into that burning question: can you trade shinies in Pokemon GO?
So, you’ve caught a shiny Pokemon, and now you’re curious if you can share this glittering prize with others. Well, you’ve come to the right place for answers!
Yes, You Can Trade Shinies!
Good news, trainers! You can trade shinies in Pokemon GO. This means you can send those dazzling Pokemon to your friends or receive some from them. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.
First off, shiny trades require a lot of in-game currency, known as Stardust. The cost can be pretty high, especially if you’re trading with someone who isn’t a “Best Friend” in the game. Also, each player can make only one special trade per day, and shiny trades fall into this category. So, plan your trades wisely!
