Nintendo has recently announced that Trade Evolution has been implemented to Pokémon GO. What has been a classic since the first generation of Pokémon games, is now available with the latest update. Unovan Pokémon have also been added, and can be found in the wild or in eggs. Gurdurr, Karrablast and Shelmet will be available.
Trainers will now benefit from being able to evolve their Pokémon without the need of spending candies. Previous trade based evolution Pokémon like Graveler evolve naturally. Now they can be evolved without costing any candy. The Pokemon Go Team explains, this system is applied retroactively, players who had a Machoke from another trainer, will get “their candy cost reduced to zero”.
