Pokemon Go is an excellent game. It takes advantage of the now very powerful smartphones and their AR sensors to make Pokemon come to the real world. There are many subtle things this game does not tell you. While it does track your progress, it does not always tell you what it is. It also stores items in your inventory that it does not reveal. This is one of the reasons this game has a slightly higher learning curve with the interaction and mechanics. One of these aspects is the Lucky Egg. What does this egg even do? If you are wondering the same, consider reading this guide until the end.
The Lucky Egg is an item in Pokemon Go. Among other items, it gives you a bonus and buffs your character. Not your Pokemon but your character. This also means there is an optimal way to use it. How do you get it? How to use it? All of these are very pertinent questions because of how little information the game gives you about this item. Well, by the end of this guide, you will have all the details regarding the same.
What does a Lucky egg do in Pokemon Go?
A Lucky Egg in Pokemon Go is not a real egg. It does not give you a Pokemon like other eggs typically do. Nor does it require that you incubate it by walking. All you need to do is consume/use it and its effects will start. What does this do? Excellent question. It is a very simple in-game mechanic. It allows you to level up much faster by doubling your earned XP for 30 minutes.
Use?
Essentially, you can use it when you are reaching higher friendship levels and want to boost tiers or when you want the XP. Since all they do is double it, you really want to use them when you need XP the most. If you are on the precipice of leveling up or reaching a new milestone and the only thing holding you back is XP, go ahead and use them. This is what they are meant for.
What else about them?
Well, the most unique ability of these items is that they can be stacked. What does this mean? It means you can use them and multiply their effects. If you use 1 egg, you earn 2x XP. If you use 2, you earn 4x XP. This way, it can stack all the way up to 200 eggs at a time. By blanket effect, they work when there are other events active too. If there is a double XP event and you use it, it will quadruple the XP you earn during that event. You can even stack them during this time for a larger bonus to XP.
How to get them?
You can only buy them from the shop for as little as 50 in-game currency. They can’t be purchased from Pokestops, though. You can also get them when you reach certain levels in the game. These are as follows:
- 1 Egg: Level 9, 10, 15, 25 and 35
- 2 Egg: Level 20
- 3 Egg: Level 30
- 4 Egg: Level 40
