Gain an extra level or two in a hurry with your Lucky Egg!
As you start to reach Level 9 or higher in Pokemon Go, you’ll start to see a Lucky Egg or two in your Items list. These can also be bought from the Shop, but no matter how you get one you need to use them to their fullest possible extent. A Lucky Egg will double all of the XP you get for 30 minutes, so you want to spend that time wisely. There are a couple of strategies floating around for getting the most out of Lucky Egg, but this one seems to work best so far.
Before you use a Lucky Egg, make sure you have the following:
- Several common Pokemon to evolve
- A bunch of Stardust
- Lure Module or Incense
- Lots of Pokeballs
Head to your favorite local place where there’s a Pokestop and a Gym nearby one another. When you get there, drop a Lure Module on the Pokestop and use your Lucky Egg. The countdown from 30:00 will begin immediately, so it’s time to get to work. Start by evolving all of your common Pokemon. Every Rattata into a Raticate, every Pidgey into a Pidgeotto, and so on. Every little evolution grants you the same XP regardless, and now you’re getting double with the Lucky Egg. In between evolutions, capture everything brought to you by the Lure Module. All of your captures will also earn you double XP, and when combined with the evolutions it adds up quickly.
Once you’ve burned through your evolutions and the Lure Module starts to slow down, head to the Gym and do your thing. If your team doesn’t own the gym, gain as much XP as possible attacking the current owners. If your team does own the Gym, use your strongest Pokemon to raise the prestige of the Gym through repeat attacks. If you level up while the Lucky Egg is active, use your Stardust to increase the CP of your post powerful Pokemon and keep attacking and capturing. Many users trying this combination report 1-3 level increase in that half hour block, so use your time wisely and have a good time!
