Pokemon Go Trading

Trading has been an important aspect in the Pokemon Series, the Pokemon Gameboys series and now it has made its way into Pokemon Go too. Trading allows the player to exchange Pokémon with their friends and expand their Pokédex. Trading occurs in-person and in real-time so the player will need to be in close range of their friend in order to trade Pokémon.

Many players have asked about Pokemon Go Trade Cost. Every trade requires that the player and their friend spend some Stardust. Different Pokémon require different amounts of Stardust. A legendary, shiny or mythic pokemon will cost more Stardust than the normal Pokemon. Players can lower the Pokemon Go Trade Cost by increasing the Friendship Level with their trading partner. Check out how to trade in Pokemon Go Below:

  • Players must be physically in the same location in order to trade. When the players have reached the friend’s location, they can initiate the trade.
  • In Map View, navigate to the Trainer Profile.
  • Tap the Friends tab at the top of the screen to open the Friend List.
  • The player should tap on the Trainer that they wish to trade Pokémon with.
  • Tap on the Trade button to enter the trading screen.
  • Once the friend joins the trading session, they will be able to select a Pokémon to trade.
  • Before selecting a Pokémon, players can view the Pokémon’s details.
  • The CP, HP, and other stats are adjusted when the players trade. The Pokémon’s new CP and HP will appear as a range.
  • After both parties have selected a Pokémon to trade, a confirmation option will appear.
  • The amount of Stardust that is required for the trade will appear next to the button.
  • Players also see the amount of Candy they have received through the trade. The amount of Candy the players can earn depends on the distance between where the two Pokémon were caught. More distance means more Candy.
