Lucky Pokémon guaranteed at least 12{{tt|*|10 prior to September 5, 2018}} {{IV}}s in each stat and require half the amount of Stardust to [[Power Up]]. A Lucky Pokémon is indicated by a shimmery effect in the [[Pokémon Storage System|Pokémon Box]] and the Pokémon's profile.

Since April 2019, players who are Best Friends have a chance of becoming Lucky Friends, which guarantees the next trade to result in Lucky Pokémon. This can possibly be triggered by performing a task that may increase Friendship level, such as opening a [[Gift]] or trading a Pokémon, on the first interaction of the day. After completing a trade with a Lucky Friend, the players will return to Best Friend status.
