Can you have a max amount of lucky friends?

No, there's no set maximum limit to the number of Lucky Friends you can have in Pokémon GO; it's purely based on random chance (around a 1-2% chance per day for Best Friends), so you can become Lucky Friends with the same person multiple times, or have many different Lucky Friends, though the total number you can interact with is limited by your friend list size (currently up to 450).

How many lucky friends can you have at once?

In Pokémon GO, there's no official limit to how many Lucky Friends you can have at once; you can potentially be Lucky Friends with many Best Friends simultaneously, but each Lucky Friend status is used up after one Lucky Trade, with a chance to re-occur daily with that same friend. Players report having numerous Lucky Friends (even 10+) and activating them, with some experiencing back-to-back Lucky Friends, demonstrating the lack of a hard cap on the number held at any given time.

Are 2019 Pokémon guaranteed lucky?

Yes, in Pokémon Go, trading a Pokémon caught in 2019 or earlier is guaranteed to become Lucky, provided the trainer sending the older Pokémon hasn't used up their limit of 35 guaranteed trades for that year's batch, a feature implemented permanently as of February 2025. This is a powerful way for veteran players to get high IV Pokémon, but the trade counts toward the sender's limit, and the receiver's limit, requiring both players to check their status.

You can't trade certain Pokémon due to game mechanics, usually Mythical Pokémon (Mew, Celebi, etc.), Shadow Pokémon, favorite Pokémon, or special event Pokémon like shiny Zacian/Zamazenta, often locked in Pokémon GO or the GTS (Global Trade System) in Pokémon HOME.

How to force lucky trade in Pokemon Go?

You can "force" a Lucky Trade in Pokémon Go by trading very old Pokémon (from 2019 or earlier, with newer events sometimes extending this to 2020) with a friend who also hasn't hit their limit, as these trades are guaranteed lucky for both players up to a certain cap (often 35, sometimes increased during events like New Year's 2026). The best method involves using Pokémon from the game's launch (2016-2018) or any from 2019/2020 during special events to get guaranteed 100% IV Pokémon (Shundos), requiring coordination with your trading partner to track the hidden counter.

Are 2016 Pokémon guaranteed lucky?

Yes, trading Pokémon from 2016 (and even up to 2019) is guaranteed to be a Lucky Pokémon in Pokémon GO, but only for your first 20-35 guaranteed lucky trades, after which it becomes a chance-based increased probability, not a certainty. The guarantee applies if the player trading the older Pokémon has received fewer than their limit (e.g., 25 or 35, depending on updates) of these special lucky trades, regardless of how many lucky Pokémon the receiver already has.

Does the sock trick work in Pokemon GO?

Does driving count as walking in Pokemon GO?

Pokemon Go doesn't count normal driving as walking because it has a speed limit for tracking distance (around 10.5-13 km/h or 6-8 mph), but it can count very slow driving (like in heavy traffic or just moving slowly) or be tricked by GPS spoofing apps, though this isn't recommended. The game uses Adventure Sync to track distance when the app is closed, but it's designed to differentiate between walking and fast travel, often showing your avatar running or biking to indicate no distance earned.
