Along with the Shiny Pokémon and Alola variations, Pokémon GO now welcomes new Pokémon. It is about the lucky Pokémon (Lucky Pokémon), whose variations do not reside so much in the visual as in their combat characteristics. They are not stronger beings, but they can be trained with much less effort. Now, the only way to get them is trading Pokémon with friends And Niantic knows exactly what they do to promote the new features of this game.
Those from Niantic have used a plot excuse based on the famous Professor Willow. This Pokémon scholar is the one who, supposedly, has discovered this new variation of Pokémon that are appearing in Pokémon GO. It's quite a mystery but as of now there is a new category of Pokémon in the Pokédex (the record of all these beings), and a new way to display them: brighter and brighter, with backgrounds that vary from normal. That's what lucky Pokémon are like.

However, what is really interesting about these Pokémon are their combat characteristics. Or rather, how they are able to make them grow with much less effort. Lucky Pokémon need less Stardust to improve their CP or Combat Points. Put another way: they are cheaper and less expensive to power up.So they can be especially interesting for those who want to create a strong team with the least investment of effort possible.
Now, not all normal Pokémon that are transferred automatically become Lucky Pokémon. Apparently the process is quite random, although according to Niantic its permanence in the user's Pokédex has a lot to do with it. So it's more likely that a Pokémon you caught a long time ago will become a lucky Pokémon when you transfer it. If this happens, you will see that in the Pokédex there is already a new section for this type of Pokémon, thus knowing which Pokémon are really lucky and which are not.
Other important news
Along with the lucky Pokémon, Niantic has been working on improving the game in various aspects of the game. On the one hand, there is the possibility to give friends a nickname of their own that are added to Pokémon GO.Something that is especially useful so as not to be confused with the strange names that some of them have given themselves. You can take advantage of this feature to write down their real names or to know which Pokémon wants to pass you, for example.
Now, in addition, sending gifts to these friends not only makes you feel a better teammate, player, and person, but also gives you several extra experience pointsSo you will be much more motivated and you will be much more altruistic in order to score points and level up by sending gifts. So that later they say that a friendship is not worth money.
The rest of the news is also related to gifts. First of all, you should know that these items can now also contain stardust, in addition to the usual revives, potions, and pokéballs.Second, gifts have become a removable item in the player's inventory. So if you suffer from space problems you won't have to get rid of other elements: gifts can be deleted and done
All in all, it shows that Niantic is putting effort into accommodating its latest social features within Pokémon GO. And invites players not to stop trading Pokémon, socializing and gifting things. The key is that they don't abandon the game.
