Been playing since day one and trust me, getting a Lucky Trade can really boost your roster. Make sure to level up friendships for better odds!
To initiate a Lucky Trade, you need to be at least Great Friends (3 hearts) with someone. There's also a higher chance for a Lucky Trade if one of the Pokémon being traded is older.
