The lucky egg is back scarlet and violet pokemon, and there’s not much you have to do to get it. The experience boost item is free after passing a certain milestone. This guide explains how to get the lucky egg and what to do with it once it’s all yours.
How to get the lucky egg in scarlet and purple
Professor Jacq, the biology teacher, rewards you with the Lucky Egg, after earning your fifth gym badge. You can take on Scarlet and Violet’s Gyms in any order, but if you’re following our recommended orderthat would be:
- cortondo
- artazón
- Levincia
- cascarrafa
- medals
Once you have your fifth badge in hand, travel back to Mesagoza and enter the academy. Interact with the computer at the reception desk and head to the biology class to speak with Mr. Jacq.
The lucky egg is not tied to your progress in the Pokédex or to completing any class tests, although you should still be completing the class exams as they are unlocked anyway, so you can go in and claim your prize.
What is the Lucky Egg used for?
The Lucky Egg is a holding item that doubles the amount of experience points the Pokémon holding it receives in battle. That might seem a bit unnecessary in Scarlet and Violet, with Auto-Battle and automatic experience sharing. However, if you’re looking for a quick way to level up Egg Pokemon or have a particular ‘mon that needs a little extra attention, Lucky Egg is your ticket to rapid growth.
There is only one Lucky Egg though, so be sure to choose wisely when deciding who should have it.
