Pokemon Go Trades Per Day

Trading is a gameplay characteristic in Pokémon GO.^[1] It enables trainers who are in close proximity to one some other to trade Pokémon.^[two]

Trading

Trading Pokémon can be done between two friends that are in 100 m from each other in existent life. All trades crave both trainers to use Stardust. If swapping Pokémon already found inside their Pokédexes, but a minimal amount of Stardust is required. This allows Trainers to freely trade most Pokémon that they meet within reasonable limits, as Stardust is an of import resource. Trading is special, and although several mechanics are in place to ensure that Trainers don't take unfair advantage of information technology, there are as well plenty of rewards to make these mechanics feel unique and personal.^[3]

Trainer level 10 is required for trading.

Process

The stats of the Pokémon will change randomly within a range when traded. Before a Trainer completes a trade, they will run across the range of CP and HP that the Pokémon could potentially accept when the merchandise is complete.

There's a thoughtful calculation to deciding that range:

Check Friend'south Trainer level to confirm the Pokémon is non powered upwardly by what would ordinarily be obtainable for someone at that level.
Assign new, fully random stat values with a minimum based on Friendship level, and that base increases the college that level is.

In other words, as a Trainer's Friendship level increases with a friend, they will have a slightly ameliorate chance of receiving a potent Pokémon when trading. A Pokémon that may not be great in boxing may excel in battle once traded to a friend, or it could go even worse.

Possible 4 Ranges mail-trade^[four]

Good Friends: 1-15
Keen Friends: 2-15
Ultra Friends: 3-xv
All-time Friends: v-15
Lucky Friends: 12-15

Re-trading

In club to bar Trainers from continually re-rolling a Pokémon's stats through trade, a traded Pokémon cannot be traded again. This feature promotes trading without giving a significant reward to one Trainer over another.^[3] Trainers are currently limited to 100 trades per solar day.

Special trades

Special trades are all trades involving Legendary Pokémon, Shiny Pokémon, Purified Pokémon and Pokémon that accept non been registered in the Pokédex.

Special Trades tin can only be done once per day to limit the number of times a single Trainer can make Special Trades with all of their friends. Special Trading does become more attainable over fourth dimension. Equally the Friendship level between two Trainers increases, the amount of Stardust needed to complete a Special Trade will significantly decrease.^[3]

New friends, making loftier-value Special Trades of Legendary Pokémon, Shiny Pokémon, and Pokémon non currently in a Trainer's Pokédex, will have to spend a big portion of their Stardust to prevent exploitation and the creation of a blackness market, which would devalue the hard work of Trainers who have managed to run into and grab rare or powerful Pokémon.^[three]

Still, trading one of those to a friend, may result in any stat being lower than a 10, as trades have different lower IV bounds based on Friendship level. This includes Egg-only (baby Pokémon) and Raid-exclusives.^[9]
- However, every bit some Legendary Pokémon can be obtained from Team GO Rocket, and as such exercise not accept the same lower bound, trading a purified Legendary may actually result in significantly better IVs than it had earlier.
