Pokemon Go Introduces Lucky Pokemon
Niantic has announced a new feature for Pokemon Go, a new type of Pokemon called Lucky Pokemon.
According to a blog post on Pokemon Go’s official site, Pokemon have a chance to become Lucky Pokemon when they’re traded. Lucky Pokemon will require less Stardust to power up than regular Pokemon, so you won’t have to spend as much to get them to their maximum CP.
According to Niantic’s post, a Pokemon is more likely to become Lucky the longer it’s spent in your Pokemon storage, so Pokemon from the game’s launch two years ago probably have a better chance than something you’ve caught recently.
“Whether or not being in storage causes Pokémon to become Lucky Pokémon remains a mystery, but be sure to stay posted for more results from the professor’s research,” the post says.
Lucky Pokemon Are Now Available in Pokemon Go
UPDATE: Lucky Pokemon are now available in Pokemon Go. Check out the video below to see a successful Lucky Pokemon trade in action:

Fortnite’s Playground Mode Returns This Week
Fortnite's Playground mode is returning on Wednesday as part of the 5.10 patch, Epic Games announced today. This new version of Fortnite will include team select options, additional loot, and the ability to ride all-terrain karts.
Playground mode was designed to give players a place to test out weapons, practice their skills in a group of four, and try building new structures or even games within the game. Unfortunately, Epic had to take Playground offline just hours after its June 27 release due to a rash of errors and long wait times to get into games. Playground made a triumphant return earlier this month, but not for good.
