This will guarantee that the next Pokémon traded between the two players will be a Lucky Pokémon.

There's even a way to get a Hisuian Voltorb in Pokémon GO during this month. It made its debut in the recently released Pokémon Legends: Arceus as a Grass-type variant of the classic Voltorb.

Both Litleo and Espurr have been available for capture for months, but this is the first time their Shiny forms are available in Pokémon GO.
