How Much Do Trades Cost in Pokemon GO?
It varies! If you’re just starting to know someone, expect to pay more Stardust compared to trading with a best buddy. Legendary or shiny Pokemon usually cost more, too!

The cost of trades in Pokemon GO depends on a few factors like friendship level and the type of Pokemon being traded. At best friends or lucky friends level, trading a regular Pokemon costs 100 Stardust, but be prepared to pay up to 1,000,000 Stardust if you're trading a Legendary or Shiny Pokemon with someone new!
Too much if you're trading a Shiny for the first time! Seriously, it's like the price of rent in Stardust.
I've traded with people from all friendship levels, and trust me, aiming for higher friendship levels saves a LOT of Stardust. Just remember, trading Legendaries and Shinies will always cost more.
