Setting out to level up Pokémon GO friendships, Niantic has announced a new "Forever Friends" friendship level alongside Remote Trades. Forever Friends in Pokémon GO serves as a higher Friendship level above Best Friends, offering additional rewards and XP. This system will also allow players to earn Friendship Points as they work toward Remote Trades. From there, Trainers will be able to earn points by battling together, trading, sending Gifts, and completing weekly challenges. Once Trainers are rewarded with a Remote Trade, they'll be able to trade Pokémon with their Forever Friend from anywhere.
