How to Do a Special Trade in Pokémon Go
Special trades in Pokémon Go are a unique feature that allows players to exchange Pokémon they have caught with other players. These trades are often special because they can involve rare or unique Pokémon, making them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. If you’re looking to do a special trade in Pokémon Go, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you out.
1. Make sure you have enough Stardust and Candy
Before you can initiate a special trade, you’ll need to have enough Stardust and Candy. Stardust is used to power up your Pokémon, while Candy is used to evolve them. The specific amount of Stardust and Candy required for a special trade can vary, so it’s best to check the trade’s requirements beforehand.
2. Find a Pokémon you’re willing to trade
Select a Pokémon that you’re willing to trade. This could be a rare or unique Pokémon that you’ve caught, or even a Pokémon that you’ve bred or hatched. Make sure you’re comfortable with parting ways with this Pokémon, as the trade is irreversible.
3. Find a trading partner
Next, you’ll need to find a trading partner. You can do this by searching for other players in your area or by joining Pokémon Go communities and forums. Make sure to communicate with potential partners to ensure that both of you are interested in the trade and that you both have the required Pokémon.
4. Initiate the trade
Once you’ve found a trading partner, you can initiate the trade. Open the Pokémon Trainer Club app and navigate to the “Trades” section. Select the Pokémon you want to trade and confirm the trade with your partner. Both of you will need to have your Pokémon ready for the trade.
5. Complete the trade
After confirming the trade, both you and your partner will need to be in close proximity to each other. Make sure you’re both in a safe and legal location to complete the trade. Once you’re close enough, your Pokémon will be exchanged, and you’ll receive the Pokémon from your trading partner.
6. Enjoy your new Pokémon
Congratulations! You’ve successfully completed a special trade in Pokémon Go. Enjoy your new Pokémon and the excitement of adding a rare or unique Pokémon to your collection.
Remember that special trades can be risky, as you’re giving up a Pokémon you’ve worked hard to catch or breed. Always communicate with your trading partner and make sure you’re both comfortable with the trade before proceeding.
