Pokémon GO: Swap Pokémon - Here's how

There is finally good news for Pokémon GO fans: you can now swap Pokémon too. We have summarized how this works in detail for you in this article.

Swap Pokémon in Pokémon GO - the requirements

If you have reached level ten in Pokémon GO, an exchange is possible in principle.

• Basically, your friendship level decides whether you can swap.
• You can only swap with a trainer. You must also be friends with this.
• To do this, you must tell your friend your trainer code. Otherwise, he cannot add you to his friend list.
• Another prerequisite for the exchange is that you and your friend may not be more than 100 meters apart.

It costs the change

However, trading is not in vain: the price for this is your stardust, which varies depending on the level.

• Good friend: Newly added friends start at this level, which allows all Pokémon to be exchanged for stardust. Exceptions are mysterious.
• Super friend: You reach this level after 7 days. You get a first stardust discount when you exchange.
• Hyper friend: You only get this status after 30 days. Here you get the second stardust discount when you exchange.
• Best friends: after 90 days, you get the highest stardust discount when you trade.
• The discount is definitely worth it for you! The exchange of a legendary friend with a good friend costs you the whopping "price" of 1, 000, 000 stardust. On the other hand, when exchanging with a best friend, you only get "lukewarm" 40, 000 star dust.
