Pokémon Go Special Trade: What You Should Know

Part 1: What are Pokémon GO Special Trades?

There are two types of trading in Pokémon Go, the standard trade or the special trade. Standard trade is when you just do the basic trading with your basic Pokémons and a certain amount of your stardust to be able to complete the transaction of trading Pokémons.

Special Trades, on the other hand, is trading where you involve rare Pokémon such as the shiny Pokémon, and legendary Pokémon in the transaction. This special trade is only allowed to be done once a day as you would not want to trade these rare Pokémon as often. Aside from that, the other trainer that will be trading with you should be on the top two highest levels of friendship in the game, great or best friend status.

Part 2: What is the difference between Standard and Special Trade?

When it comes to these two trades in Pokémon Go, there are only a few factors that we can consider on how to differentiate the two. One difference that we will point out is the type of  Pokémon that you will trade. Rare Pokémon can only be done on a special trade unlike the standard trade with covers the other lower-tier Pokémon.

Another thing that makes them different is the amount of stardust needed for these trades. With standard trade, the amount of stardust needed is not as much as compared to special trade. But if you have a higher level of friendship status with the other train, that can lessen the required amount of stardust.

Part 3: How Do Special Trades Work in Pokémon Go?

The steps on how to do special trades in Pokémon Go are very similar to the standard trade. First, you will need to ensure that the other trainer is within the maximum 100-meter coverage area of each other. Next, you can now proceed to do a special trade with the steps below.

Step 3: Then, you will be redirected to choose the Pokémon that you want to trade.
