So You Want a Lucky Friend in Pok�mon GO? A Guide for the Friend-Finder
Ah, the elusive Lucky Friend. In the vast and wonderful world of Pok�mon GO, where catching 'em all is just the first step, becoming Lucky Friends with someone is like stumbling upon a shiny Charizard in your grandma's attic – pure, unadulterated joy (with slightly less risk of mothballs). But fear not, fellow trainer! This guide will equip you with the knowledge (and hopefully a little luck) to find your own Lucky Friend.

| How To Get A Lucky Friend |
Step 1: Building a Bond of Steel (or Pixelated Greatness)
- Become Best Friends: This is the foundation of your Lucky Friend quest. It takes 90 days of consistent interaction – think daily gifts, epic raid battles, and maybe even the occasional friendly (or not-so-friendly) trainer battle. Basically, you gotta show your potential Lucky Friend you're in it for the long haul. No ghosting allowed!
Pro Tip: Spice things up with a themed friendship. Rock matching avatars for a week! Challenge each other to catch only fire-type Pok�mon for a day! The more fun you have, the easier those 90 days will fly by.
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
Step 2: The Dance of the Lucky Dango
- The Random Factor: Once you're BFFs, any interaction with your best friend has a small chance of triggering Lucky Friend status. We're talking around a 1.1% chance, which is basically the same odds of finding a perfectly ripe avocado at the grocery store.
But wait, there's more! Nobody knows for sure, but some trainers swear by a Lucky Dango ritual. Here's how it goes:
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
- Find a friend who vaguely resembles a Dango (round rice flour ball, Google it if needed).
- Perform a synchronized jig while chanting "Lucky Friend, Lucky Friend, come hither and transcend!"
- Offer your Dango-friend a real-life Dango (or their favorite snack).
Disclaimer: The effectiveness of the Lucky Dango ritual is yet to be scientifically proven. But hey, if it gets you two laughing, it can't hurt, right?
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.

Step 3: The Glorious Notification
- Ding Dong, You're a Lucky Friend! If the stars align and the Pok�mon GO gods take pity on you, you'll be notified that you've become Lucky Friends. Prepare for confetti (not really, but you can always add your own sound effects).
Now here's the important part: Your next trade with your Lucky Friend will result in both Pok�mon becoming Lucky. These Lucky Pok�mon have a significantly reduced Stardust cost to power up, making them champions in the making.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
Trainer Tip: Don't just trade any old Pidgey. This is your chance to snag a truly powerful Pok�mon!
Remember, Trainers: Patience is a Virtue
Finding a Lucky Friend takes time and dedication. But the payoff – a powerful Pok�mon and a friend you bonded with over the journey – is totally worth it. So keep interacting, keep battling, and keep your Dango-fu strong. May the odds (and the RNG gods) be ever in your favor!
