How Much Does It Cost to Trade a Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Ever wondered about the costs involved in trading a shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO? You’re in the right place to find out!

Let’s dive into the sparkly world of shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO and uncover what it takes to trade them.

Understanding the Cost to Trade a Shiny

Trading a shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO isn’t free. The cost? Stardust – a valuable in-game resource. For those who are new, Stardust is what you use to level up your Pokemon, among other things.

If you and your friend are just starting out, trading a shiny Pokemon you both haven’t caught before could cost a whopping 1,000,000 Stardust. Yes, you read that right! But don’t worry, there are ways to reduce that number significantly.

Reducing the Cost of Shiny Trades

Building a strong friendship in the game can cut down trading costs. If you reach ‘Best Friend’ status, which takes 90 days of interaction, that scary 1,000,000 Stardust cost can drop to 40,000 Stardust. That’s quite the discount, isn’t it?

Also, keep an eye out for special trading events in Pokemon GO. Niantic, the game’s developer, occasionally runs events that lower the Stardust cost even more, making it the perfect time to trade those shiny Pokemon.
