How to control when you want to become an ultra friend with someone
One question remain, if I sending a gift or opening a gift at the same day. Is the friendship is increased by one? If so, I can send a gift one day and open a gift next day, the friendship is increased by two levels. But the gift contains some valuable stuff, I think no trainer try this.

ARE THERE ANY POKÉMON I CAN’T TRADE?
There are two major restrictions. You can’t trade any mythical monsters, which only includes Mew in the game thus far; and you can’t trade away any Pokémon that you received in a trade. Once your friend gives you one of their Pokémon, it’s yours or it’s no one’s.
Three more quick notes: You must be at least level 10 to trade. Hopefully you’ve reached that by now, since Pokémon Go’s been out for nearly two years now. The Pokémon you want to trade must be revived. And you have to be at least age 13 in order to trade, for safety reasons.
These are the stardust discounts you get based on your friendship level:
- Good Friend: 0 percent discount
- Great Friend: 20 percent discount
- Ultra Friend: 92 percent discount
- Best Friend: 96 percent discount
Note: according to this post, 100 stardust is the minimum requirement for normal trading. The discount is only for special trade. At least, this is what happened to me.
WHAT’S A LUCKY POKÉMON?
Lucky Pokémon are those with decreased power-up costs. They require 50 percent less stardust than the average Pokémon in order to level up, which means it’s much easier to make them more competitive.
There’s no way to know whether you have a Lucky Pokémon before you trade it, however. They only become lucky upon a completed exchange. At that point, they’ll have a designation in their profile, and you can also sort for them specifically in your Pokédex.
CAN YOU TRADE LEGENDARY POKÉMON?
You can, actually! But legendary trades require extra restrictions, because they’re designated as special trades. There are actually a handful of Pokémon that are classified as special trade-exclusives:
- Pokémon not already in your Pokédex, including special forms of Pokémon (costume Pikachu, Castform, Unown, Alolan forms, shinies)
- Legendary Pokémon
- Shiny Pokémon (my comment: is this a shadowed pokemon purified, or really Shiny Pokemon)
To trade any of these, you’ll need to be at least Great Friends with your partner. These trades also require way more stardust than average ones. That cost will go down if you’re better friends with the person you’re trading with, however.

How to get Lucky Friends in Pokémon Go
Lucky Friends is a special friendship status that guarantees you a Lucky Pokémon.
Becoming Lucky Friends in Pokémon Go works as follows:
- There is a chance of being Lucky Friends when you are Best Friends with someone.
- When you are Lucky Friends with someone, the next trade you make will result in both becoming Lucky Pokémon.
- You have attempt per day at becoming Lucky Friends by performing one of the following actions - opening a gift, teaming up in Raids or Gym battles, or engaging in a Trainer Battle (essentially, anything that would usually result in leveling up your Friendship).
- If successful, the game will notify that you are Lucky Friends, and it will say as such in your Friends listing.
- Once the trade is completed, you will return to being 'regular' Best Friends again.
Other things to know about Lucky Friends includes:
- It's possible to have more than one Lucky Friend.
- You can become Lucky Friends with a Best Friend more than once, though not more than once per day.
- The chances of becoming Lucky Friends, at least in the early stages, appear to be around 5% according to reddit.
- The Lucky Friends status seems to last for as long as you next trade - so feel free to continue sending and receiving Gifts or engaging in Trainer Battles until you next meet up and can trade. It does not expire that day.
- It is possible to have more than one Lucky Friend active at once. (Thanks blackpudding2000 on reddit for confirming).
