### Pokemon Go Trading: The Ultimate Guide
**1. What is Pokemon Go Trading?**
In the world of Pokemon Go, trading is a feature that lets you exchange your pocket monsters with other players. Whether you’re looking to complete your collection or just want to share the joy, trading is a key part of the game.
**2. How Do I Start Trading?**
To trade, you’ll need to find another player. This can be done in several ways:
– **Meet-Up Groups**: Look for local meet-ups on social media or the official Pokemon Go community forums.
– **In-Game Friend Requests**: Add friends and send them friend requests to trade.
– **Pokestops and Gyms**: You can trade with players who are at the same Pokestop or Gym as you.
**3. What Do I Need to Trade?**
Before you can trade, you need to meet a few requirements:
– **Friend Status**: You must be friends with the person you want to trade with.
– **Trainer Level**: Both players must be at least level 10.
– **Trading Pin**: You need to have a trading pin on your profile.
– **Available Storage**: Make sure you have enough storage in your Pokedex to receive the traded Pokemon.
**4. Can I Trade Any Pokemon?**
While you can trade most Pokemon, there are a few exceptions:
– **Shiny Pokemon**: You can’t trade shiny versions of certain Pokemon.
– **Egg-Candies**: You can’t trade items like Egg-Candies or other items.
– **Special Moves**: Moves you’ve trained onto a Pokemon can’t be transferred through trading.
**5. How Do I Trade My Pokemon?**
Here’s how to trade your Pokemon:
1. Open your friend’s profile by tapping on their name in your friend list.
2. Tap on the trading option, usually represented by a gift icon.
3. Choose the Pokemon you want to trade from your inventory.
4. Your friend will have a similar choice, and once both of you confirm, the trade will be completed.
**6. What If My Friend Disappears or Stops Responding?**
If your trading partner disconnects or disappears during a trade, don’t worry. The trade will automatically be cancelled. You won’t lose anything, and you can try trading with someone else.
**7. Can I Trade in Multiplayer Battles?**
Unfortunately, you can’t trade during multiplayer battles. You’ll have to wait until the battle is over to initiate a trade.
**8. Is There a Limit to How Many Times I Can Trade?**
There’s no set limit to how many times you can trade. However, the game may impose a daily limit on the number of trades you can complete.
**9. Can I Trade Items or Evolve My Pokemon During a Trade?**
Nope, you can’t trade items or evolve your Pokemon while in the middle of a trade. These actions must be done separately.
**10. What If I Get a Bad Trade?**
If you’re unhappy with a trade, you can always undo it. Both you and your trading partner must agree to cancel the trade, and the Pokemon will return to their original owners.
Remember, trading is all about having fun and connecting with other players. Happy trading!
