The Lucky Egg is an amazing item that boosts the experience the holder gains by a whopping 50%. However, in most cases, they can only be found on wild Chansey, which are usually rare to get and even then they only have a 5% chance of holding it at all. Want to try to make this easier? Read on.

Method 1
Method 1 of 3:

Diamond, Pearl and Platinum

  1. 1
    Have a Pokémon with the "Compound Eyes" ability, one with Frisk, and one with either False Swipe (to make catching it easier) or Thief (so you can just steal it afterward). CompoundEyes' effect outside of battle makes wild Pokémon more likely to be holding items if the Pokémon is on top, even if it has fainted. However, make sure they are both at least Level 21 (in Platinum, 19 if you're playing Diamond/Pearl), because you will need it to make sure the Repels will prevent your Poke Radar from breaking streak.
    • If you're playing Diamond, it can be a little difficult to get a Frisker, because one of the Pokémon that gets Frisk (Stantler) can't be found in Diamond, while the other (Banette) can only be found at night. If you're playing Pearl or Platinum, though, you can get Stantler on Route 207 by using the Poke Radar. But if you can get a Banette, that's even better, since Chansey's Normal-type moves can't hit it.
  2. 2
    Go to Route 209. Use a Repel (preferably Max), have the Poke Radar on Select, put the Pokémon with Compound Eyes on top (again, the effect works even if the Compound Eyes Pokémon is knocked out, in which case you can put the Frisker right behind it), and save your game.

  3. 3
    Use the Poke Radar until you find a Chansey. Afterwards, bring out the Pokémon with Frisk, and if it has Lucky Egg, either catch it or use Thief. If it doesn't, knock it out and repeat. Remember to take the Lucky Egg off after using Thief.
    • Beware other wild Pokémon other than Chansey that could break your streak, though.
  4. 4
    Repeat as many times as needed until you have the amount of Lucky Eggs you desire.

Method 2
Method 2 of 3:

HeartGold and SoulSilver

  1. 1
    It is strongly, STRONGLY recommended that you only attempt this on a day that wild Chansey are swarming on Route 13. Otherwise, they will only have a 1% chance of appearing, and that won't be fun. Check your PokeGear to see what's swarming that day.
  2. 2
    Just like before, grab Pokémon with Compound Eyes, Frisk and False Swipe/Thief. You'll also need a Pokémon with Cut, though.
  3. 3
    Find the area on Route 13 that's blocked off by Cut. Go there, stick your Compound Eyes user at the top, and save your game.
  4. 4
    Watch for any wild Chansey you run into. Have your Frisker ready. If they have the Lucky Egg, either Thief them or catch them.
  5. 5
    Repeat as many times as needed until you have the amount of Lucky Eggs you desire.

Method 3
Method 3 of 3:

Black and White

  1. 1
    Go to Undella Town, then upwards to Route 13 until you find the lone man in black wearing sunglasses. (That's the treasure hunter who usually gives you evolution items like the Dubious Disc and Electirizer.) Save your game before you talk to him.
  2. 2
    Talk to the man. If he gives you a Lucky Egg, sweet. If he doesn't, reset and talk to him until he does.
  3. 3
    Remember that you can only do it once per day, but there is still no limit to the amount of times you can get it from him.

  • Question
    Where can I get more than one lucky egg in Pokemon Sun and Moon?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Only one lucky egg can be found in Sun and Moon.
  • Question
    Where can you get more Lucky Eggs in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    The only way to gain more Lucky Eggs without trading is by encountering wild Pokemon that are holding them. Pokemon Black 1 and White 2 do not have any wild Pokemon that carry Lucky Eggs, so you cannot get more.

Warnings

  • Although the Poke Radar makes getting Chansey easier in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, it still has a rather low appearance rate, so it might take you a few tries to find one.
