How to get a Lucky Egg in Pokémon GO

There are two main ways you can get Lucky Eggs in Pokémon GO. You can either get them by completing research tasks, or by buying them from the shop. So if the idea of waiting around for a new event with research tasks to pop up and gift you a free Lucky Egg doesn't appeal to you, you're going to have to spend your PokéCoins for one. Their standard prices in the shop are as follows.

  • One Lucky Egg: 80 PokéCoins,
  • 8 Lucky Eggs: 500 PokéCoins,
  • 25 Lucky Eggs: 1,250 PokéCoins

Fortunately, it's also pretty common for items like Lucky Eggs in the Pokémon GO shop to go up on sale, slashing prices by up to 50%. Alternatively, you can purchase Lucky Eggs through various shop bundles, which pair them up with a bunch of other useful items and resources.

How to use your Lucky Eggs

Lucky Eggs are among the most useful items in boosting your Pokémon GO profile. Using it allows a player to earn double the XP for 30 whole minutes.

One of the most effective ways of using this item is pairing it up with items like the Lure Module or Incense and catching Pokémon for their whole duration. It's also recommended you save some Lucky Eggs for events that already offer double XP, like certain raid days and community days, so you can go up tons of levels all at once.
