Wondering how you can exchange those sparkling, rare creatures known as shiny Pokemon with your friends in Pokemon GO? You’ve come to the right spot for answers!

Let’s dive into the colorful world of shiny Pokemon trading in Pokemon GO, and how you can start swapping these rare finds with others.

Quick Guide to Trading Shiny Pokemon

First off, both traders need to be at least level 10 in Pokemon GO. You gotta put in a little effort before you can start trading!

Next up, you and your friend need to be within 100 meters of each other. No long-distance trades here, folks—Pokemon GO wants you to feel the joy of trading up close and personal!

What You Need to Know Before Trading

Trading shiny Pokemon, or any Pokemon for that matter, isn’t free. It costs Stardust, and shiny Pokemon require a lot more Stardust, especially if they’re not already in your Pokedex. So, start saving up!

Also, once you trade a Pokemon, it’s a final deal. No take-backs or exchanges, which makes every trade pretty exciting.
