Niantic may finally include the much-awaited trading feature in "Pokémon GO." There will also be a new nest migration rotation for players to catch new Pokémon in the usual spots that they have already found.
"Pokémon GO" nests usually house uncommon Pokémon spawning frequently in one area. For instance, there could be a Pikachu nest near a Starbucks shop in a player's local area. Niantic conducts nest migrations so that they will spawn different Pokémon every month or so.
Overall, there have been nine nest migrations. Niantic's next would be the tenth which is expected around the last week of December. "Pokémon GO" nest migrations have started to become more frequent happening every two weeks at a time since October, Video Games Republic reported.
Players should check the nests around their area every day to see whether the spawns become different. They can use the incense item for the spawns to become more frequent while walking around to maximize its effect. If a different Pokémon spawns three times in a row compared to the previous week's spawns, it could be the sign that the nest migration has already begun.
Nest migrations are often random and some rare nests can suddenly spawn common Pokémon like Rattata and Pidgey. Still, it would be worth checking out nearby nests to see if it now spawns rare or even epic ones. Unfortunately, there is still no reports of legendary types such as Lugia, Deoxys and Mewtwo being spotted by players.
YouTube user PatentYogi claims how "Pokémon GO" trading could work if Niantic finally rolls out the feature across the globe. The game could rely on real time transit timings in the real world which could be a problem for those who are out in rural areas. There are also patents from Nintendo that may give clue to what Niantic is up to but they are now outdated and believed to be originally intended for "Ingress," Mic reported.
Fans will have to wait for Niantic's official announcement on "Pokémon GO" trading. However, they can now check whether the nest migrations have started by going to the nearest one and watching the spawns.
