A Lucky Egg is a consumable item in the mobile game Pokmon GO that doubles the amount of experience points (XP) earned for a limited time, typically 30 minutes. When activated, all XP gains from in-game actions, such as catching Pokmon, evolving Pokmon, spinning PokStops, and battling in Gyms or Raids, are effectively doubled. For example, catching a Pokmon that normally awards 100 XP will grant 200 XP while the Lucky Egg is active.
The strategic use of these items is critical for rapidly leveling up a player’s Trainer level. Higher Trainer levels unlock access to stronger Pokmon encounters, improved items at PokStops, and participation in higher-tier Raids. Therefore, maximizing XP gains during the effect’s duration is vital. This is commonly achieved by stockpiling Pokmon evolutions, performing a series of evolutions in quick succession while the effect is active, or coordinating with others to participate in multiple Raids.
