Pokémon Go Lucky Trinket explained: What does the Lucky Trinket do?

The Lucky Trinket is a one-time-only item you can use to instantly turn one player your Great Friends or higher with into a Lucky Friend in Pokémon Go. You don't even have to be best friends! This means you can guarantee a Lucky Trade with one other player - though the Lucky Friend status will vanish after this trade as per normal. There are, however, a number of rules you need to follow, because something this nice doesn't come without a few catches.

Here are the Lucky Trinket rules and, seriously, pay attention to the first one:

• The Lucky Trinket expires on Sunday 8th June at 11:59pm (local time). Use it before this time or lose it!
• As mentioned, the Lucky Trinket can only be used once.
• You must be Great Friends or higher with the player you're using the Lucky Trinket on.
• You can not use it on players you're already Lucky Friends with.
• The Lucky Trinket does not change the trade distance requirement.
• You can disable other players' ability to use a Lucky Trinket on you in the Pokémon Go settings.

When it comes to the deadline, keep in mind that we'll update it for every new Lucky Trinket released in Pokémon Go.

As you can see from the rules above, the Lucky Trinket is only really worth something if you know other Pokémon Go players in real life since it doesn't negate the trading distance requirement. If you do play solo and end up with a Lucky Trinket, then consider joining a local Pokémon Go group or using the Campsite app to find other players before the expiry date. Just keep in mind that you will need to be Great Friends with the player first, so make sure you've both sent and opened a Gift first to ensure you're at the right level.

No matter whether you're part of a group or play solo, it's also a good idea to coordinate with who you're using the Lucky Trinket on to make the most out of your Lucky Trade.

With this in mind, the Lucky Trinket is used by finding it within and selecting it from your Storage. Once you've done this, follow through the instruction and ensure you select the correct player to use it on. If you've done it correctly, this player should now be your Lucky Friend!

The Might and Mastery Season and its seasonal quest has arrived. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.

How to get the Lucky Trinket in Pokémon Go

To get the Lucky Trinket in Pokémon Go, you must complete the Go Pass Deluxe by reaching Rank 100 - the pay-to-play tier of the Pokémon Go battle pass.

Every player will have access to the battle pass from between Tuesday 6th May at 10am (local time) to Tuesday 3rd June at 10am (local time). This means everyone can progress through the free tier, because it's, well, free.

If, however, you want the Lucky Trinket, you need to spend £7.99 or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency to unlock the Go Pass Deluxe track. For £9.99 or the equivalent pricing tier in your currency, you can purchase the Go Pass Deluxe track and 10 ranks already completed. It's important to note that this purchase is nonrefundable and can not be done using PokéCoin.

We have a dedicated Go Pass guide if you'd like to learn more, but, when it comes to the Lucky Trinket, it's important to note that you can only progress through the battle pass until Tuesday 3rd June at 10am (local time). This means you have under a week to reach the final tier and earn your Lucky Trinket. Thankfully, the rewards expire on Sunday 8th June at 11:59pm (local time) so, if it comes down to the wire, you should still be able to claim your Lucky Trinket. Miss this final deadline, however, and the rewards will vanish forever.

Considering the Go Pass Deluxe's price, we highly recommend taking a look at the other rewards and thinking about whether you truly want the Lucky Trinket before making this purchase. This is especially the case if you play Pokémon Go solo, because, when you consider the fact it has an expiry date, the Lucky Trinket might turn out to be worthless for you.

Hope this has helped you decide whether the Lucky Trinket is worth it!
