Lucky Friends & Avatar Poses Are Coming to Pokémon GO

By this I thought you meant you weren’t Best Friends with your friend.

People who give a rat’s ass about something as superficial as what pose their avatar is in (or even what outfit it wears) might decide that it’s worth the frivolous expenditure. I kind of like the thought that normal / functional play will be free with the more discretionary stuff as the basis for product revenue.

Oh, I beg your pardon, I wanted to say … no lucky friend status…

I would love to change it and I would even pay for that (in coins of course)
But 500 is ridiculous and much better spent on 5 raids

I’ll admit that I’ve spent a few coins for a couple of tweaks to appearance. But just a few coins for just a couple of things.

But I’m totally with you on that last point. The cost for the new things is way too much, even for people who place a high value on the way they look.

trainertips posted a video which stated that only the first friendship-action per day can give lucky friends, and he stated he had inside information from niantic so i trust that.

That means the all the battling in gyms me and my GF did last night was pointless after the first fight…

Sounds normal to me, as the whole friendship system works on that first interaction per day!

good point, skipped my mind :wink:

First action per day per friend or just per day?

Per friend per day. My friend yesterday opened a package from friend 1: nothing. Friend 2: Lucky friends. And we also have raided together before that.

Alright, good to know that repeated actions are pointless

500 is to much.
4 poses availeble now (expect they will make more poses later on)
4 x 500 = 2000 coins = 40 days of 100% coincollection.

250 would be a more suitable price.

Second day…
Both are best friends, we’ve made an exchange of gifts,…

And nothing, the status doesn’t change to Lucky Friends…

Lucky Friends from EX Pass Invite. (Reddit)

Very well, now we see obviously that it’s posible to do it…
…but still i’m waiting to know why I don’t get it, or a real introduction what to do to garantize the effect.

Because if it is random again… let’s go for hell

I think it is random. Couldn’t find nummer for it on Reddit. Could be as high as 1:10 or as low as 1:450. Or maybe there is some special mechanic behind it. It’s not known so far.

There are still some big bugs in the system
Reddit TheSilphRoad - Niantic Support acknowledging the not guaranteed lucky trade between lucky friends bug.
Reddit TheSilphRoad - After raid with a friend, I turned lucky for her, but she did not turn lucky for me.

One of the Kids and the Wife’s account had the Lucky Friends notification pop up yesterday when I did a Raid.
Traded a couple of junk Groudon between the 2 and it was just like a disappointing CP at a Raid or a junk Egg Hatch.
Both ended up being the at the lowest end of being Luckies with poor attack stats. Trade Junk for Junk with glitter :rofl::rofl:

Got a Lucky Friend today, might do a mirror trade, need to think about what to trade for before next ex raid in a few days, low IV legendary or high level and low IV pseudo legendary?
