Pokemon GO friend and trading systems available for everyone
Posted on 5 years ago by Bobby in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Yesterday, Pokémon GO introduced friends, gifting, and trading systems for level 30 to 40 players. Now, the friend and social features will be available for all Trainer levels, and trading can be unlocked at level 10. The drop was expected, as a similar situation occurred when Raids first launched for players between levels 38 and 40.
Trading in Pokémon GO works much differently from their main series counterparts. You will have to level up your friendship with somebody to trade Legendary or other Pokémon. Additionally, you will have to be in a certain proximity to that person to engage the trade.
Most recently, Niantic introduced Alolan Pokémon to the game through wild encounters and gifted eggs, giving players an additional array of monsters to catch before the remainder of the Generation 3 Pokémon are released.

Alolan Exeggutor is back in Pokemon GO
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Alolan Exeggutor was added to Pokemon GO in late May, with its event wrapping up by early June. The Pokemon disappeared at the time, but has since returned. Alolan Exeggutor can be found freely roaming in the wild.
Some Pokemon GO players are saying that Alolan forms with regular Kanto pre-evolutions can be seen in the wild, hence this creature’s return. Other Alola variants are hidden inside Pokemon Eggs, but since fully-evolved Pokemon don’t hatch from Eggs, they could be out in the wild instead.

Pokemon GO – friends, trading, and gifts now live; level 40 currently required for adding friends
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
The new friends, trading, and gifts features announced for Pokemon GO this week are now live. However, there is a caveat.
In order to add friends, you’ll need to be at level 40. You’ll receive a notice about this if you attempt to use the functionality at a lower level. This is likely to be a temporary restriction, though it’s unclear when Niantic will make it available to a wider array of players.
