+In {{g|GO}}, a '''trade''' is a process by which a [[player]] sends one of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to one of their {{OBP|Friends|GO}} in exchange for one of that Friend's Pokémon. Introduced in June 2018,<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/friendsandtrading/?hl=en Pokémon GO Live update, posted June 18, 2018 (accessed October 21, 2021)]</ref> it is equivalent to the [[trade]] mechanic in the [[core series]] games. While trading is not required to complete the [[Pokédex]], as it is in the core series, it is one of the methods that allows players to add new registrations to their Pokédex without catching Pokémon directly. (The other method is through hatching [[Pokémon Egg#Pokémon GO|Eggs]].)
-==Restrictions==
+Trading Pokémon costs both players a certain amount of {{OBP|Stardust|GO}}. Both players must also meet the following requirements to trade:
+* The players must have reached [[Trainer level]] 10.
+* The players must be Friends.
+* The players must be within 40 kilometers (km) of each other.
+Some trades have further requirements that must be met, and some Pokémon cannot be traded. Additionally, each player can make at most 100 trades per day.

 During a trade, there is a small chance that both traded Pokémon will become '''Lucky Pokémon'''. Lucky Pokémon guaranteed at least 12{{tt|*|10 prior to September 5, 2018}} {{IV}}s in each stat and require half the amount of Stardust to [[Power Up]]. A Lucky Pokémon is indicated by a shimmery effect in the [[Pokémon Storage System|Pokémon Box]] and the Pokémon's profile. Like with Shiny Pokémon, the Pokédex will record the number of Lucky Pokémon the player has obtained for that species.
