How Do I Trade Pokemon on Pokemon GO?

Last updated
Ever wondered how to swap your favorite creatures with buddies in Pokemon GO? It’s super simple and tons of fun!
Trading Pokemon in Pokemon GO is a cool way to get new creatures by swapping them with your friends. Let’s dive into how it works!
Quick Steps to Start Trading
To start trading Pokemon, you and your friend need to be in-game friends and close to each other in real life, because the game uses your location. Also, you both must be at least level 10 in the game.
First, open your friend’s profile in the game, hit the ‘Trade’ button, and choose the Pokemon you want to swap. Remember, trading costs Stardust, and the amount depends on how rare the Pokemon is and whether you already have it in your Pokedex.
What Makes Trading Exciting?
Trading can give your Pokemon better stats, making them stronger in battles. Plus, who doesn’t love the excitement of seeing what you’ll get in return? Also, when you trade, you earn special Candy for the Pokemon you trade away.
But keep in mind, once you trade a Pokemon, you can’t get that exact one back, so choose wisely! And rare Pokemon like Legendaries or Shinies need a special trade, which you can do only once a day.
