Once you&#8217;ve invited another player to become your friend, they can then accept you and you\u2019ll see them in your Friends List. Having friends will be beneficial for all players; spinning Photo Discs at Pok\u00e9Stops and Gyms will provide you with a chance of receiving a gift that you can pass on to your buddies, and these can even include an egg containing an\u00a0Alolan form Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"picture strip\">\n<div class=\"img\"><a href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/06\/pokemon_go_will_finally_allow_you_to_trade_pokemon_with_new_friends_feature\/attachment\/1\/original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/06\/pokemon_go_will_finally_allow_you_to_trade_pokemon_with_new_friends_feature\/attachment\/1\/900x.jpg\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2018-06-18 at 15.01.59.png\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>To trade Pok\u00e9mon with a friend, you&#8217;ll need to be standing close by\u00a0and be at Trainer Level 10 or higher. Completing a trade earns a bonus Candy for the Pok\u00e9mon you\u2019ve traded away, and that bonus can increase if the Pok\u00e9mon you traded were caught in locations far apart from each other. All trades are powered by Stardust, and some trades require more Stardust than others. Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, Shiny Pok\u00e9mon, or a Pok\u00e9mon not currently in your Pok\u00e9dex, all require a Special Trade to complete, and these can only occur once per day with a &#8216;Great Friend&#8217; or &#8216;Best Friend&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trading is a feature that players have been asking for since the game first launched, so we&#8217;re glad to see that it&#8217;s finally made its way into Pok\u00e9mon\u00a0GO.
