In Pokémon GO there is currently a particularly difficult quest. You need to trade Pokémon caught over a distance of 10,000 km. We will show you how to get the required friends for that.
What kind of quest is this? Around World Tourism Day, Pokémon GO is celebrating an event with regional Pokémon. One of the quests states: “Trade Pokémon that were caught 10,000 km apart.”
You quickly realize that you must have traveled far for this or you need international friends. The latter can be easily arranged.
Friend Codes from Australia – How to find global friends
The easiest way to complete the task: You do not have to trade with international friends yourself. It is enough if you receive 7 km eggs from them and hatch them. Then it will show under the Pokémon that it is from the respective friend’s country.
If you then trade this Pokémon here with a Pokémon from Germany, that will be enough for the quest.
Where do the friends need to come from? Those coming from Germany actually need to seek friends from the other side of the world. Even Pokémon from Los Angeles are not far enough away.
The following countries and places are, for example, over 10,000 km away:
- Australia
- New Zealand
- Philippines
- Hawaii
- Argentina
- Parts of Brazil
- Chile
This is how you find the friends: There are various platforms where you can secure friend codes. You can even sort by the desired countries in some cases.
These people are searching for international friends just like you. It is important that you receive 7 km eggs from the players. Only then can you complete the task.
We recommend the following sites for finding international friends (Click on the names to go to the respective page):
- Pokémon GO Friend Codes
- Advantage: You can directly sort by the country your friend is from. By simply scanning QR codes, you can quickly send friend requests.
- PokémonGOFriends on Reddit
- Advantage: Here you can send your friends a message to coordinate leveling up. Each trainer writes where they are from and how active they play.
- Trainer Code List on Gamepress
- Advantage: You can see at a glance where the player is from and what their friend code is. You can also filter by a specific country.
This is what you need to consider with your requests: Many players write whether you should send them gifts or if they do not need that. If you only send a few gifts yourself, you should not send a request to every trainer. After all, they want to benefit from the friendship as well.
