How Many Times Can You Get a Lucky Trade?

In Pokémon GO, lucky trades can be a game-changer for Pokémon enthusiasts. But, did you know that there is a limit to how many lucky trades you can have? In this article, we’ll dive into the intricacies of lucky trades, exploring the various ways you can trigger a lucky trade and the limitations that come with it.

Limitations on Lucky Trades

Before we dive into the details, it’s essential to understand the limitations of lucky trades. According to the Pokémon GO developers, there is a Guaranteed Luckies counter that tracks the number of lucky trades you’ve had. This counter currently stands at 15. This means that even if you have multiple Lucky Friends or trade Pokémon multiple times, you can only have a maximum of 15 lucky trades.

How to Trigger a Lucky Trade

Now that you know the limitations, let’s explore the various ways you can trigger a lucky trade:

Trading with a Lucky Friend

Trading with a Lucky Friend is one of the easiest ways to get a lucky trade. Best Friends can become Lucky Friends after becoming friends, and trading Pokémon with them will guarantee a lucky trade. This means that if you have multiple Lucky Friends, you can have multiple lucky trades!

Trading Pokémon caught in 2016 or 2017

If you caught a Pokémon in 2016 or 2017, there is a 100% chance that it will become lucky when traded. This is because Pokémon caught during these years were marked with a special "lucky" flag.

Other Ways to Get Lucky Trades

While the above methods are the most effective ways to get lucky trades, there are a few other ways to increase your chances:

• Length of time possessed: Pokémon that have been in your possession for longer have a higher chance of becoming lucky when traded.
• Trading with a high-level account: Trading with an account that has a high level of experience and training may increase the chances of a lucky trade.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while there is a limit to the number of lucky trades you can have (15), there are still many ways to increase your chances of getting a lucky trade. Trading with a Lucky Friend, trading Pokémon caught in 2016 or 2017, and increasing the length of time possessed are all effective ways to trigger a lucky trade. Remember to take advantage of these methods and maximize your chances of getting a lucky trade!
