Trading Mechanic: The next time you trade with that friend, both Pokémon will become Lucky Pokémon, and your Lucky Friend status will clear.
Requirements: You must be at least Great Friends with the Trainer, and you cannot use it with someone who is already your Lucky Friend.
Important Expiration: The Lucky Trinket earned in the October pass will expire on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. local time, regardless of when you claim it. Make sure to use it before time runs out!
Privacy Control: If you prefer not to receive Lucky Trinkets from other players, you can disable this permission in your in-game Settings page.
