Pokémon GO introduces the Friends function to trade Pokémon

This feature also comes with a juicy addition: when you spin a disk at a PokeStop you can receive a gift. That gift, if you can't open it, you can give it away.

In addition, the level of friendship between two people can rise as you participate together in Raid Battles or in a Gym. The more your friendship level goes up, you will be able to unlock and play together with certain extras. For example, if your friendship level is very high and you fight together, you can gain a bonus attack to get ahead. Of course, you can only increase the level of your friendship once a day.

Another way to increase your friendship level would be by exchanging Pokémons. You will only be able to trade Pokémon if you have at least a level 10 trainer. If the trade is complete, you will receive a candy for the Pokémon you trade. For the exchange you need to spend a certain amount of stardust. The closer your friendship, the less stardust your trades will cost you.

There are certain Pokémon trades that are referred to as 'special'. These special trades, such as the ones made with the Legendary Pokémon or Shiny Pokémon, can only be made once a day and with friends with a very strong trading relationship. friendship. They cannot be done with anyone. In addition, a large amount of stardust will be required to carry out the exchange successfully.If you have a partner in Pokémon that you owe a lot to, think how cool it would be to trade a Golden Magikarp with him. He will forever be in your debt.

In the next Pokémon GO update you will have the new 'Friends' feature available in Pokémon GO. Until then, go hunting!
