All Trade Evolutions in Pokemon Go

Right now the list of all mons who can evolve through trading isn’t as long as it is in the mainline Pokemon games, but it’s a good start. What’s even better is the discount you get from trading.

That means the Pokemon being traded won’t evolve instantly like they do in the main games. Instead, it will just discount the amount of candy you need in order to evolve the creature.

The biggest example at the moment is Karrablast being able to evolve into Escavalier. Normally it would take 200 candies to evolve Karrablast, but trading makes it so much easier by changing the cost of evolution to zero candies.

Also, any Pokemon that can now get a candy discount and was traded before the feature was added to the game will still get this perk. Make sure you dig through your box to see if you have any free evolutions just sitting there.

Now that you’re familiar with how the system works, here’s a list of all the Pokemon who get a candy discount through trading:

  • Kadabra
  • Machoke
  • Graveler
  • Alolan Graveler
  • Haunter
  • Boldore
  • Gurdurr
  • Karrablast
  • Shelmet

It’s a small list, but it’s a good start to a feature that will encourage more trainers to play Pokemon Go together.

That’s all there is to know about Trade Evolutions in Pokemon Go. If you still have questions about anything else in the game, then check out our Guide Wiki.
