Pokemon GO: How To Become Lucky Friends

As a seasoned veteran of the Pokemon GO world, I’ve seen it all – from catching ’em all to evolving them and trading them with friends. The latest addition to our adventures is becoming Lucky Friends, a status that brings unique benefits to our Pokemon collection.


Players of Pokemon GO have an opportunity to upgrade their relationship with another player to Lucky Friends, which brings along various perks. To start this process, you need to already be Best Friends with another trainer first. The benefits that come with being a Lucky Friend are numerous.

As a dedicated Pokémon GO enthusiast, I’ve found that the longer I hold onto my monsters, the greater the chance they’ll transform into Lucky Pokémon. These special creatures not only shine with a shimmery effect but also excel in battles due to their reduced Stardust requirement for powering up. Plus, you can obtain these fortunate finds through your Lucky Friend connection!

How To Become Lucky Friends In Pokemon GO?

Pokemon GO: How To Become Lucky Friends

In the game Pokemon GO, there are various tiers of friendship: Good Friend, Great Friend, Ultra Friend, and Best Friend. To achieve the Best Friend status, you need to initially establish a friendship and then progressively improve it. Here’s how you can elevate your friendship levels:

  • Add Friends: Share and enter Trainer Codes to send and accept friend requests.
  • Send Gifts: Spin PokeStops or Gyms to collect Gifts, which you can send to friends for items and postcards. Some of these Gifts even have Pokemon GO Eggs with Alolan Pokemon.
  • Raid Together: Participating in raids or Gym battles with friends boosts Friendship Level, unlocking bonuses.
  • Trade Pokemon: Trading Pokemon can increase your Friendship Level. The higher the friendship level, the lower the Stardust costs for trades.

Friendship levels can only increase once per day per friend.

It takes several months of regular interaction to become Best Friends in Pokemon GO, and you receive a lot of experience points (XP) when you level up your friendships. It’s smart to use Lucky Eggs before reaching Ultra or Best Friends, as this doubles the XP—using a Lucky Egg to reach Best Friends awards 200,000 XP.

After establishing a Best Friend relationship, you might eventually advance to the level of Fortunate Friends. It’s important to note that there’s no specific method for achieving Fortunate Friends status, but consistently following the methods mentioned can increase your chances. However, be aware that this status is only maintained until you perform the Lucky Trade, after which it expires.

In the game Pokemon GO, trading monsters with friends is generally straightforward, though keep in mind that they need to be closeby; specifically, they should be no more than 100 meters away from where you are physically located.

  • Open the Friends tab from your Trainer Profile
  • Select the friend and click the Trade button
  • Notify the friend to join the trading session
  • Choose the Pokemon to trade
  • Tap Confirm to complete the trade. (Stardust cost and Candy received is displayed)
