-If you’re near a friend and have a Trainer Level of 10 or higher, you can trade Pokémon you’ve caught with that friend. Completing a trade earns a bonus {{bp|Candy}} for the Pokémon you’ve traded away. In addition, this bonus increases if players trade Pokémon that were caught far away from each other. Trades are powered by {{bp|Stardust (GO)|Stardust}}, and some trades require more Stardust than others. Higher Friendship Levels means that trades can be completed using less Stardust.
