Thanks so much for taking your time to create this video and explain it so well. I am a returning player from 2016 and have played very little when friendship update was already live but never got into trading. This helps for sure!
Yeah unfortunately that's not possible. The playerbase has been hoping that due to the COVID situation niantic would make distance trades possible, at least temporarily. But Niantic has said nothing that would hint to it, so better not te expect anything I'm afraid.
@@uniterofworlds6213 They need to make it into a permanent thing, cause some of my friends have moved to another country and some of them live in another state and I wanna give them a strong legendary pokemon for them
There will be a lot of other people interested as well in those 2016 pokemon, so you can probably arrange some nice deals. Might even help local level 47 players for the level 48 challenge which requires like 50 lucky pokemon from trades.
What i don't like about the trades is whenever me and my sister have a 3 stat pokemon, when we trade them together they turn into a 1 star. Which is what Pokemon Go needs to fix cause that part of the Pokémon trades is broken.
It will count as a new pokemon for you because you don't have a shiny snorlax yet. So shiny + new pokemon. Will be expensive. Try to reach ultra (or best) friends with someone before doing the trade.
You explain things in a way someone whos new to the game would understand, what is stardust?? Am i the one who needs it or is the one sending the pokemon the one who needs the stardust??
Thank you. Both of you pay the same amount of stardust. So even if one person sends a regular rattata and the other a shiny legendary, you will have to both pay the same amount of stardust.
Let’s say, I’m lvl 21 And a friend is 40. And they are going to give me Electivire, but I’ve never seen in my Pokédex, so I’d have to pay extra stardust?
Wait i have a question, my friend recently traded me a pokemon that had perfect ivs on his account, but when he traded it to me, the ivs were low. Please explain what happend
the IV's of a pokemon will ALWAYS change when you trade a pokemon. The moment a pokemon is traded it's IV's will randomly be recalculated. If you're best friends then the minimum of each IV's will be 4. So at worst you'll get a 4 4 4 IV pokemon and at best a 15 15 15. You will get a random IV pokemon between those numbers (if it's lucky then the range is 12-15 for each stat). The starting IV of a pokemon before trading has NO influence on the outcome from the trade. This is why I highly recommend keeping your own strong pokemon and only trade low IV pokemon to each other in the hopes that they will become better (or lucky). I'm sorry for the loss of the perfect IV pokemon.
In older Pokémon video games Pokémon like Haunter for example can only evolve through a trade. I would buy two different versions of a Pokémon game to trade with friends or just for myself. 😅
are pokémon that have only been seen still registered in the pokédex? i seen articuno in the wild and i wanna trade for one but idk if its even registered
My sister did not have 10 Lucky trades and we did 2 2016 trades, she traded me the 2016s like you said, and neither were lucky. They must have updated that..
What about trading shadow pokemon? I have a lucky friend and we wanted to trade our shadow Lapras to increase it's IV. Something was preventing the trade.
Shadow pokemon cannot be traded. At the start of shadow pokemon their release it was possible to trade them for a brief period of time, but niantic realised that lucky shadow pokemon combined with the 2 IV's extra for every stat after purifying would make it to easy to get 100% pokemon. Therefore, shortly after the release, they decided that we can no longer trade shadow pokemon and also cannot get lucky shadow pokemon.
Hey I haven’t watched the whole video, but can you trade your Pokémon back?? I want to evolve a Pokémon and it says it can evolve without candy if I trade it. But can I get it back???? I traded once but the game would not let me trade it back. So I really need to know if I’m doing it right or not.
Every pokemon can only be traded once. So no, you can not trade your pokemon back. Once a pokemon has been traded it's locked for the person who received it.
I traded a 98 iv dragonair to my friend to power up because I had no stardust. He powerd it all the way to the max and now when we tryed to trade it back, it won’t let us. Did we screw ourselves?
Well... yeah.. The problem is that every pokemon can only be traded once. So as soon as the first trade of that specific pokemon is made, it will be locked with that trainer forever (unless he transfers it to the professor or pokemon home). Furthermore you don't want to trade high IV pokemon. Every pokemon will have a random reroll of it's IV's, the starting IV's is irrelevant. Therefore a better strategy for you and a friend is to keep your high level wild catches with bad IV's and trade those to each other in the hopes of them becoming good IV after the reroll.
Yes you can trade pokemon that are your best buddies. However, the moment you trade them they will lose their best buddy status. So the person who received your pokemon will not have it as a best buddy and he would have to start from the beginning again to try and reach that status.
That's not how trading works in PoGo. In the main series you can trade a pokemon several times, in PoGo only one time. So as soon as you traded a pokemon it will become trade locked. That means that you won't be able to get your Graveler back, unfortunately. To evolve your graveler in PoGo, all you need is enough candies. So you can evolve another graveler without trading.
@@uniterofworlds6213 But why would they have it say for your pokemon that you can evolve it by trading IT the pokemon YOU have to a friend so then you can trade it back after it has been evolved by your friend for zero candies, but once you try to trade back you can't trade it back!? Like why give the option to the person of evolving your pokemon by trading or just using the 100 candies for it, but when you evolve to trade you never get it back. like me and my friend traded our 3 stared pokemons and when we try to trade them back again we couldn't and when we traded them they lost their 3 stars ?! Like I feel they need to clarify that in the prompt for evolving your pokemon that if you do trade the pokemon that can evolve by trading that that pokemon you're trading will not be able to be traded back with a friend and that it can only be traded once, so that way you don't do what me and my friend did and now lost our 3 star pokemon, because this damn game failed to be clear in evolving Pokemon by trading lol!
I agree they should keep slowly expanding it with additional months. Unfortunately niantic has given us zero information regarding this. At this point it's unlikely they'll expand it.
Have fun with them! You can use them for gym battles, against raidbosses or even in the Go Battle League. When it comes to powering up pokemon, then I would recommend waiting. I'm taking a guess that you're not at a high level yet because you only played in 2016. As you level up you can encounter higher CP pokemon in the wild. At level 30 you're able to catch the highest possible CP pokemon. Use your pokemon, have fun with them. But don't be afraid to throw some lower CP pokemon away, as you continue to level up you will also continue to encounter better CP pokemon in the wild. And I recommend only using your stardust once you're at level 35. For the future you want to keep the strong IV pokemon. Use the search strings 4* and 3* to find your best IV pokemon, you can save those for later.
That's great barney, now you just need to find someone to trade with and it will save you 100 candies. The other trainer will have to give you a machoke or haunter back as well, because you can't trade a pokemon twice.
UniterOfWorlds Have they said anything about allowing people to trade & trade back in the future? It seems a bit stupid to dedicate lots of candies and stardust to power up a pokemon, to then just give it away.
I got a shiny porygon z about 1900 cp I was gonna give it to my brother but he declined so I would take a riolu or some high tier Pokémon we can discuss in replies
Ja zeker! Hoe hoog de IV's voor de trade zijn heeft geen invloed op de uitkomst. Het heeft dan ook geen nut om hoge IV pokemon weg te traden, je trade juist de lage IV pokemon in de hoop dat ze beter worden.
Heey ByteCodeMe, dankjewel man! Er is een whatsapp groep voor Aalsmeer. Je kan mij een berichtje sturen via tomrijn01@gmail.com dan kan ik je meer uitleg geven.
Recently niantic has been doing remote trading events, this is a promising development. First event was max range of 12 KM, second event was around 40KM, we'll have to see how far they will allow us to trade in the future events, but there is definitely potential now for global trades at some point in the near future.
Paige Bowen Same. One of my friends doesn't play as much and another is in the progress of getting their account up. I would normally ignore this, but I'm trying to get Celebi. At this point, I think I'll have to make an account on the POGO friends website to at least try to remedy. Hopefully, I'll get results.
Unfortunately we cannot trade from distance. If distance trades ever get introduced to Pokemon Go then there will come many possibilities to get a togekiss.

They should make international trades possible. Just make sure regional Pokémon can’t be traded come on niantic
Thanx bro, I haven’t played since 2016 and JUST got back into it so I have a ton of 2016 Pokémon with no lucky Pokémon. Just showed me a gold mine

If I trade a Pokémon which has 100 candies, do those candies also go to the trainer I’m trading to?
no, just the pokemon.
So If I trade my friend a legendary he doesn’t have in pokedex do I have to pay The stardust fee for it just wondering because it’s like 100k or more
Yep, you want to be at least ultra friends before doing such a trade to save a lot of dust.
