Lucky Friends
When you are Lucky Friends with someone, the next time you trade with each other, both Pokémon will become Lucky Pokémon!
How do you become Lucky Friends?
Once you become Best Friends, you will have a chance to become Lucky Friends! You will have this chance once per day when you and your Best Friend trade Pokémon, open a Gift from each other, team up in raids and Gym battles, or challenge each other to a Trainer Battle.
How do I know if my Best Friend is now a Lucky Friend?
Similar to when you level up your friendships, you and your Best Friend will receive a notification when you have become Lucky Friends. You’ll also be able to see that they’re your new Lucky Friend in your Friend List and on their friend profile page.
After completing the trade, your Lucky Friend status will return to Best Friend status. Don’t worry, Trainers—by doing the same steps, you can try to become Lucky Friends again!
The new update also landed with Avatar Poses – new items that can change the way you Avatar looks on Friend screens, in Gyms, and in your profile.
Niantic explains these new poses:
“Ready to stand out at the Gym or on your Friend List? We are introducing avatar poses that will allow you to customize how your Trainer is posed on your Trainer profile, in the Friend List, in raid lobbies, in Gyms, and in battle previews.
“Once you acquire an avatar pose, it will be available on your account for both male and female Trainer avatars.”
These poses will set you back 500 Coins a piece (which is pretty steep by Pokemon Go standards) and can be purchased via the Gear Store in-game.
