What Triggers Lucky Friends?

In Pokémon Go, becoming Lucky Friends with another player is a rare and exciting occurrence. But what triggers this special bond between trainers? In this article, we’ll delve into the mechanics of Lucky Friends and explore the various factors that contribute to this special connection.

Becoming Best Friends First

Before becoming Lucky Friends, you must first reach the Best Friends level with another player. This requires consistent interaction with your friend, such as sending and receiving gifts, participating in raids, and challenging each other to battles. Sending gifts, for example, will increase your friendship level and earn you extra bonuses. Once you’ve reached the Best Friends level, you’ll have a chance to become Lucky Friends.

Small Chance, Big Reward

Each time you interact with your Best Friend in a way that would normally increase your friendship level, there’s a small chance (approximately 1%) that you’ll become Lucky Friends. This chance is calculated daily, so you won’t become Lucky Friends more than once per day. This means that even with consistent interaction, it may take several interactions before you become Lucky Friends.

Factors Affecting Lucky Friends

While the chance of becoming Lucky Friends is small, there are some factors that can increase or decrease your chances. For example, having a long-standing friendship (i.e., more interactions) may increase your chances of becoming Lucky Friends. Additionally, the rarity of the Pokémon you’re trading or battling with can also affect your chances. Rare or mythical Pokémon, for instance, may have a higher chance of becoming Lucky Friends.

Staying Lucky Friends

Once you’ve become Lucky Friends, you’ll remain in this special bond until you make a trade with your friend. After trading, you’ll revert back to being Best Friends. However, you can have multiple Lucky Friends at once, and you can become Lucky Friends with someone more than once (but not in the same day).
