How much Stardust do you need to trade a Charizard (How to trade Pokémon)
As a Pokémon enthusiast, Charizard has got to be one of my favorite raiders of all time. Its iconic ability to mega-evolve to Charizard X or Charizard Y is one of the many reasons I’m in love with this attacker.
Thanks to Stardust, you can get your favorite raider by accumulating the required amount of Stardust and trading it with your preferred Pokémon attacker. I’ll be a straight shooter and show you exactly how to trade Pokémon, shall we? 😎
How to trade Pokémon
First things first, for you to trade Pokémon, you need to meet specific requirements. Some of these include;
- You can only trade with players who are your friends in the game.
- Your friends must be in close proximity of 100 meters in real life.
- The participants must have at least a trainer level of 10.
- An initially traded Pokémon cannot be traded again.
- Shadow Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon cannot be traded, the likes of Mew and Celebi.
Now, let’s get to the nitty-gritty of how to execute the Pokémon trade 😉;
- Add a friend by; Sharing the code with the trainer you want to trade with from your friends’ list. The code typically has 12 characters. To access the code, go to the Map View, tap the Trainer section, and you’ll find it under the friends tab at the top of your screen.
- Click the Trade section and ensure your friend is on standby to join the trade.
- After your friend joins the trade, click on the Pokémon you want to trade, and its details will be shown. Tap the next button to continue.
- Once you have chosen your preferred Pokémon to trade with, click the confirmation button to finish the trade process.
You should note that the Combat Power and HP stats of the Pokémon will change and appear as a range after the trade .
The amount of Stardust required to purchase the Pokémon will be shown next to the trade confirmation button.
The amount of Candy received will also be displayed, and it is determined by how far the two Pokémon were from each other when they were caught. More distance equates to more Candy.
