How to get the most out of a Lucky Egg?

The best use of a Lucky Egg in Pokémon Go is to maximize XP gains by combining it with high-XP activities during its 30-minute window, primarily mass-evolving Pokémon (especially Pidgey/Weedle families for quick evolutions) and timing it with friendship level-ups (Ultra/Best Friends) for huge XP bonuses, plus hatching eggs and winning raids. Coordinate these activities to occur simultaneously for the biggest boost, often by saving evolutions and waiting for friends to reach milestones.

Is it worth evolving Lucky Pokémon?

Yes, you should almost always evolve Lucky Pokémon because they stay Lucky, get minimum 10/10/10 IVs (making them stronger), and cost half the Stardust to power up, which is a massive advantage for building strong Pokémon for raids or PvP. The "lucky" status is permanent and passes through evolution, so it's a great way to get powerful, cheap-to-upgrade Pokémon for your teams.

Are Lucky Trades always 3 star?

No, Lucky Trades are not always 3-star in Pokémon Go; they guarantee a minimum IV floor of 12/12/12 (Attack/Defense/HP), meaning you can get a 2-star Lucky Pokémon if the IVs roll to 12/12/12, though they often become 3-star or even 4-star (perfect) depending on the initial IVs and luck. The "lucky" status just means lower Stardust cost and a high IV floor, not a guaranteed 3-star rating, with the worst-case scenario being a 2-star (12/12/12) Pokémon.
