For years, players begged Niantic to allow long-distance trading instead of being chained to the strict 100-meter radius. And now, with the introduction of the new Forever Friends tier, you can finally trade from anywhere in the world. No spoofing, no workarounds, no awkward \u201cmeet halfway in a parking lot at 11PM\u201d situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not a global free-trade system, and Niantic definitely put guardrails everywhere. But for anyone who couldn\u2019t trade regionals, finish Lucky Friend trades, or complete research steps requiring trades, Pok\u00e9mon Go Remote Trades are a massive quality-of-life upgrade especially if you understand exactly how the system works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_78 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/other\/rpg-pokemon-go-remote-trades-explained\/#Pokemon_Go_Remote_Trades_What_They_Are_and_Why_They_Matter\" >Pok\u00e9mon Go Remote Trades: What They Are and Why They Matter<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/other\/rpg-pokemon-go-remote-trades-explained\/#How_to_Unlock_Forever_Friends_To_Use_Remote_Trades\" >How to Unlock Forever Friends To Use Remote Trades<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/other\/rpg-pokemon-go-remote-trades-explained\/#How_Friendship_Points_Work_In_Relation_To_Remote_Trades\" >How Friendship Points Work In Relation To Remote Trades<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/other\/rpg-pokemon-go-remote-trades-explained\/#How_to_Perform_a_Remote_Trade\" >How to Perform a Remote Trade<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/other\/rpg-pokemon-go-remote-trades-explained\/#1_Tag_Pokemon_for_Remote_Trading\" >1.

Once you hit this tier, the two of you earn a special currency called Remote Trades, which lets you complete one long-distance trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the biggest trading update Pok\u00e9mon Go has ever introduced. Before this, trading was physically impossible unless you stood within 100 meters of your friend. An obvious problem for rural players, online-only friend groups, and anyone with international Lucky Friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remote trades finally let long-distance friendships matter, without turning the game into a global shiny marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/other\/other-discord-wrapped-2025\/\">Discord Wrapped 2025: Relive Your Server Madness<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/joytify.com\/en-us?utm_source=SEO&amp;utm_medium=BLOG&amp;utm_campaign=PATTERNBUTTON\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/728x90-Blog-Banner-GENERAL.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/728x90-Blog-Banner-GENERAL.png 728w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/728x90-Blog-Banner-GENERAL-300x37.png 300w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/728x90-Blog-Banner-GENERAL-150x19.png 150w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/728x90-Blog-Banner-GENERAL-450x56.png 450w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/728x90-Blog-Banner-GENERAL-50x6.png 50w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/728x90-Blog-Banner-GENERAL-100x12.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons alignfull is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/joytify.com\/en-us\/genshin-impact?utm_source=SEO&amp;utm_medium=BLOG&amp;utm_campaign=PATTERNBUTTON\">genshin<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/joytify.com\/en-us\/honkai-star-rail?utm_source=SEO&amp;utm_medium=BLOG&amp;utm_campaign=PATTERNBUTTON\">Honkai<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--3\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/en-us\/pubg-mobile-global?utm_source=SEO&amp;utm_medium=BLOG&amp;utm_campaign=PATTERNBUTTON\">pubg m<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--4\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/joytify.com\/en-us\/arena-breakout?utm_source=SEO&amp;utm_medium=BLOG&amp;utm_campaign=PATTERNBUTTON\">arena breakout<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-to-vivid-purple-gradient-background has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/joytify.com\/en-us?utm_source=SEO&amp;utm_medium=BLOG&amp;utm_campaign=PATTERNBUTTON\">OTHER GAMES<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Unlock_Forever_Friends_To_Use_Remote_Trades\"><\/span><strong>How to Unlock Forever Friends<\/strong> To Use Remote Trades<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Forever Friends is a new friendship tier above Best Friends.

You earn them by consistently interacting with a specific friend over time, turning regular daily actions into long-term progress. Instead of grinding one big task, the system rewards steady, ongoing cooperation &#8211; exactly the kind of bond Niantic wants to highlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of your Friendship Points will come from simple, everyday actions. Sending or opening Gifts, battling together, and participating in raids or PvP all contribute to your progress. These interactions form the backbone of your daily growth and make the system feel natural rather than forced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also earn bonus Friendship Points from cooperative weekly challenges, which give you a chance to speed things up if both you and your friend are active. These challenges aren\u2019t mandatory, but they\u2019re a helpful boost for players who want to reach Forever Friends faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the simplified breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Daily interactions earn up to 1 Friendship Point per day with that specific friend.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weekly group challenges provide bonus Friendship Points that accelerate progress.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only one friend can progress toward Forever Friends at a time, keeping the feature deliberate and meaningful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Altogether, the system is slow by design. Friendship Points aren\u2019t something you farm, they\u2019re something you build over time through consistent play. It ensures that reaching Forever Friends, and eventually unlocking Remote Trades, feels intentional and genuinely cooperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Perform_a_Remote_Trade\"><\/span><strong>How to Perform a Remote Trade<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pokemon-Go-Remote-Trades-\u2014-How-to-Perform-a-Remote-Trade-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Pok\u00e9mon Go Remote Trades \u2014 How to Perform a Remote Trade\" class=\"wp-image-6516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pokemon-Go-Remote-Trades-\u2014-How-to-Perform-a-Remote-Trade-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pokemon-Go-Remote-Trades-\u2014-How-to-Perform-a-Remote-Trade-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pokemon-Go-Remote-Trades-\u2014-How-to-Perform-a-Remote-Trade-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pokemon-Go-Remote-Trades-\u2014-How-to-Perform-a-Remote-Trade-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pokemon-Go-Remote-Trades-\u2014-How-to-Perform-a-Remote-Trade-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pokemon-Go-Remote-Trades-\u2014-How-to-Perform-a-Remote-Trade-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pokemon-Go-Remote-Trades-\u2014-How-to-Perform-a-Remote-Trade-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pokemon-Go-Remote-Trades-\u2014-How-to-Perform-a-Remote-Trade.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you become Forever Friends and have a Remote Trade ready, here\u2019s how the process works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Tag_Pokemon_for_Remote_Trading\"><\/span><strong>1.

No. The grind is long, the limit is tight, and the restricted Pok\u00e9mon list is aggressive. But compared to the previous system, this is one of the most player-friendly updates Niantic has implemented in years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Niantic occasionally loosens restrictions during events or seasons, Remote Trades could become a core pillar of the game\u2019s social ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-us\/other\/psn-gift-card\/\">PSN Gift Card: The Easiest Way to Top Up Your PlayStation Wallet<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pok\u00e9mon Go Remote Trades finally make global friendships functional in a game built around connection.
