How to get a Lucky Egg in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

The Lucky Egg is undoubtedly one of the best items you can get in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, but you’ll need to know where to find one before you can use it to level up your team.

There are loads of held items you can give your Pokemon to improve their skills in battle, but the Lucky Egg is rather unique as it increases the share of Exp. Points that a specific Pokemon gets by 50%.

This is one of the easiest ways to quickly level up your favorite Pokemon in the game, especially if you’ve caught a low-level creature that needs to do some catching up before it can match the rest of your team.

So, if you’re wondering how to get a Lucky Egg in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, we’ve got the answers you need below.

Professor Jacq will automatically give players a Lucky Egg before they attempt to take on their sixth Gym Leader. This exchange happens as part of a cutscene, so you really can’t miss it.

You can take on Gyms in any order you want in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, so it doesn’t matter which Gym Leader is your sixth one. Jacq will always meet you at the entrance to whichever Gym you arrive at.

Having said that, we do have a recommended Gym order that will help you defeat them as easily as possible.

How to use the Lucky Egg in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Using the Lucky Egg is as simple as giving it to a Pokemon to hold and then winning battles against wild Pokemon or other trainers.

Exp. Points are shared among your team in Scarlet & Violet, so the Pokemon holding the Lucky Egg doesn’t even need to be the one attacking to benefit – it just needs to be in your party as you battle.

It’s worth pointing out, though, that the Lucky Egg boost won’t apply when using the Let’s Go feature to take part in Auto Battles, so you’ll need to initiate battles the old-fashioned way to get extra Exp. Points.

The Lucky Egg is the perfect accompaniment to our best EXP farming methods, which will have you leveling up your team in no time at all.
