LuckyShipping is the name given to the pairing for Red and Blue from Pokemon Special.

Red, Green & Blue chapter

• Blue shows a flirtatious attitude toward Red in their early encounters. The first time they meet, Blue charms him into buying her wares. When battling Team Rocket in the first saga, Blue refers to Red as her "sweetie pie". She also hugs him, winks at him, and blows him kisses. It should be noted that this continues even after there was no need to act in such a way around Red.
• Blue tricks Red into buying her items by acting like his admirer. Later Red is talking to his Pokémon about it, commenting on how he could tell she liked him, and how she is his age. Showing a clear attraction at the time, he keeps his mind on her until a Pinsir interrupts.
• As Red tries to get his money back from Blue, the girl fakes her tears in attempt to escape. Red, however, stops her and leaves her next to a tree after getting his money. Unfortunately, Blue manages to steal his two badges, which forces Red to pursue her again. Then he learns that Team Rocket is looking for her, so he disguises himself as one of them to find her.
• Red heroically saves Blue from a full-speeding Tauros. Because of this, Blue seems to "fangirl" over him and call him "her hero".
• Blue calls Red her sweetie when she is found out by Team Rocket. She also tears off his uniform.
• Escaping Team Rocket, Blue drags Red with her, despite not knowing his motives. She then appoints him as her partner without giving him a choice.
• After Red and Blue got away from Team Rocket, Red joins her in catching Mew, even though he is more or less irritated with her motive for money. Once Team Rocket reappears, he helps her out again and protects her by keeping her out of the line of fire.
• Once Mew had escaped from Team Rocket, Blue and Red go their separate ways. But Blue slips him a note, thanking him for everything. They then exchange one last glance at each other.
• Once Sabrina locates Blue for the second time in the battle with Team Rocket, this time with Red, he tells her to stay back, claiming it to be dangerous. This is something done often between love interests. Blue swoons once more, agreeing to do so.
• In the semifinals of the Pokémon League, Red watches Blue's match, and seems to have preferred it if she were to win, but this is not certain.
• In the Final Round, Blue watches Red's match and seems to want him to win.

Yellow chapter

• Blue is the first to show notable concern when she finds out that Red is missing. Upon seeing Yellow's drawing of Red in her sketch book, she becomes anxious, hoping that she knew his whereabouts. She is also the one who sent Yellow on a mission to find him.
• At the end of the arc, Blue decides not to tell Red about Yellow's true identity, saying it would be more fun to see him figure it out on his own. However, fans believe that Blue simply stayed quiet because she didn't want competition.

Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter

• During the final chapter, Red and Green joins Blue in battle using the legendary birds. The interesting point here is the fact that Red would yell out her name in concern whenever she's in deep trouble.
• When Red is finally able to try and talk to Yellow about her true gender, Blue yells saying it's a bad time to do so. Fans believe that she is either worried or jealous, although she shows little care when she notices Yellow worrying about Red talking to Misty.

FireRed & LeafGreen chapter

• Blue goes into shock upon witnessing her parents disappear (at the hands of Deoxys) and falls off the boat into the water. Red sends his Poliwrath to rescue her and he carries her from then afterward until they can find her a bed.
• When Red's spirit is broken and he runs away, Blue gives chase, and when she finds him, she comforts him and thanks him because "he did all of it for her sake". Although this, like his previous anger, is also later credited towards his friends in general. However, he seemed much angrier over Blue than Green (who was also victimized), granted that Blue was in a worse condition at the time. However, whether or not Red did care more or mostly about Blue, she percieves it this way. This shows that both of them care deeply for each other, although whether the feeling be romantic or platonic is never really addressed.

Trivia

• LuckyShipping is an alternative name for FeelingShipping (Green and Yellow) as well as the name for the shipping of Robert and May.
• A popular rumor in LuckyShipping is that Red's Espeon and Blue's Ditto have or will mate and produce an egg. The only evidence of this is that the two Pokémon were seen together at the end of the Emerald saga.
• Another name for LuckyShipping is ChristmasShipping, which uses their english names "Red" and "Green". The name is taken from the idea that red and green are the two commonly used colors for Christmas decoration, or are "Christmas colors".
