Pokémon GO Disables Trading After Player Discovers Lucky Bug - Nintendo Life
Jan 20, 2022 2 mins, 56 secs

On January 19th, a Pokémon GO player posted on Pokémon GO subreddit "The Silph Road", showing off his latest discovery — he had traded 100 Pokémon with a friend and they all turned "Lucky"?

"Lucky" is a rare, but much-desired type of buff in the game, which has about a 5% chance of happening during a trade, and gives the Pokémon higher IVs and makes it cost half the Stardust to powerup?

There are a few things that can increase the rate of getting Lucky Pokémon in a trade, like owning a Pokémon for more than a year, or trading with a "Lucky Friend" — a rare occurrence that guarantees your Pokémon will be lucky, with a 5% chance of happening when you interact with a Best Friend for the first time that day.

There was also a promotion that allowed players to get a 100% chance of a Lucky trade, but the circumstances were limited.

It would only happen for Pokémon caught in the first two months of the game's existence, July and August 2016, and the trainer sending the Pokémon must have done 10 or fewer trades.

In short, it was aimed at lapsed players who had given up the game after the first frantic months of Pokémon GO's success?

But all of these methods, even combined, do not result in 100 Lucky Pokémon trades, making this occurrence an unintended bug.

Unfortunately you can't trade eggs in Pokémon Go.

When they launched the Shadow Pokémon feature, you could trade Shadow Pokémon and could potentially get Lucky Shadow Pokémon.

So naturally, they patched that out, and also imposed a limitation that you can only special trade one purified Pokémon a day for good measure.

Many issues in (online) games and devs ignore them, an exploit is found that gives players unlimited money/good items and the likes (etc.) and the devs push a update the hour or day after!

Pretty much never trade in pogo so not a issue for me.

@SuperCharr I've been playing on and off since launch and I've only spent maybe $50 over that 5+ year span.

@SuperCharr I buy the community day ticket once a month (79p) and that is it.

I never run out of balls, always do mega raids - sometimes even if I already have the legendary in question - always put Pokemon on gyms if I'm near one and this gives me 50 coins a day, which is more than enough.

Both Community Days and Battling demand your time, but one is only once a month and the other I dip in and out of as I want
