Lucky Trades are incredibly valuable, because they make the Stardust cost to power up the lucky Pokemon much lower. This allows players to build up a powerful PvP or PvE roster without running out of the game’s most precious resource.
Taking advantage of the Lucky Friend feature is pretty straightforward. The most important thing to keep in mind is that players can only become Lucky Friends with someone who they are already Best Friends with (check out this guide to increasing Friendship levels). At that point, the two players just need to interact frequently until they trigger a Lucky Friendship and unlock a guaranteed Lucky Trade.
Keep in mind that Lucky Friends isn’t a permanent status like Best Friends. Players will remain Lucky Friends only until they complete a trade and use up the guaranteed Lucky Trade. Be sure to be smart about what you are trading and receiving so that both players get the most value out of the deal!
