Raising your odds in Pokémon Go is sometimes broken down into an art form, and a bunch of tiny little factors add up in your favor. Another way to tip the scales in your favor is to receive Lucky Pokémon, and a great way to do that is to become Lucky Friends with other Trainers on your Friends List. The chance to have another trainer become lucky friends with you takes a long time, however.
To have the potential of having one of the coaches on your friend's list to become a lucky friend, you first need them to achieve best friend status. You have to do this by continuously interacting with them and strengthening your friendship with them, which you can do through several methods, and all of them focus on the activities of the game. You and your friend can participate in battles or raids. in the gym, sending you gifts or interacting with them.
If you had to interact with a unique trainer on your friend list every day to increase your friendship level with them, now is the time to achieve Best Friend status:
- Good friends after a day
- Great friends after seven days
- Ultra friends after 30 days
- Best friends after 90 days
In short, it takes you three months to achieve best friend status with another trainer. The process takes a bit of time, but it's worth it. After you become best friends, becoming lucky friends happens by chance. You have to do what you have been doing all this time to increase your friendship level, that is, interact with them by doing activities in the game. During one of these activities, the friend will become a lucky friend for a day.
When you have a lucky friend, the first Pokémon you both trade becomes a lucky Pokémon. A Lucky Pokemon has cheaper stat upgrades and higher stat performance than a traditional Pokemon. These Pokémon are great for any roster, and if you can make it in the early stages of the Pokémon leveling path, this is great for you.
Because you can only do most of your friends' activities once a day, a best friend can become a lucky friend about once a day. The odds vary though, as the Lucky Friend buff doesn't always happen.
