Evolve specific pokemon via trading in latest Pokemon GO update

Niantic's latest update in Pokemon Go brings with it new Pokemon from the Unova region and the Trade Evolution feature from the main series. Notably, there was no prior notice before the patch, and the unexpected update is a good addition.

Players who have played any game from the main Pokemon series might be familiar with the Trade Evolution feature which involved evolving specific Pokemon when traded with friends or strangers.

This means Pokemon that can be evolved using trading won’t require any candies for the same and a few of the characters involved in this include Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler, and Haunter.

Apart from the new feature, Niantic have added a plethora of new Pokemon to the game which will be available in the wild and can be hatched from the various eggs in the game.
