How Much Does It Cost to Trade a Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO?
Last updated
Ever wondered how much it’ll set you back to trade a shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO? You’re not alone! Let’s dive right into the sparkly world of shiny trades.
Trading shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO is a hot topic. Who wouldn’t want a shiny buddy in their collection, right? But, what’s the deal with the cost?
Shiny Trading Basics
To start, trading in Pokemon GO requires you to be friends with the person you’re trading with. The cost of trading Pokemon, especially shiny ones, depends on your friendship level and whether you already have the Pokemon in your Pokedex.
For shiny Pokemon, if it’s a Pokemon you’ve never had before, the cost is a whopping 1,000,000 Stardust at the lowest friendship level! However, as your friendship level increases, this cost can drastically decrease to 40,000 Stardust for ‘Best Friends’—still a hefty sum but far more manageable.
Why Trade Shiny Pokemon?
Shiny Pokemon are rare and unique variants of the regular Pokemon, boasting different color schemes and a lot of bragging rights. Trading them can help fill your Pokedex with these rare finds and strengthen your bonds with friends in the game.
Remember, the high Stardust cost encourages players to engage more with the game and their friends, making those shiny trades all the more rewarding when they finally happen.
