"PSA: Best friends upgrade and double XP - don't miss out if you can't co-ordinate lucky eggs with the other player."

#PokemonGO: I see a lot of people talking about how they co-ordinate their gift opening for best friends. This is of course the best way to do it so both players can easily get the 200k XP. However if for any reason it wasn't possible or if your timing was off, don't worry it's still possible to double the XP without much effort, you just have to be fast with the menus.So, if you are aware of being 1 gift away from BF status and there is a gift already in play, what i have done successfully a number of times is quickly open the friends list as soon as you open the game to check if the other player has opened the gift and the friend status has indeed upgraded visually. If it has, all good you haven't yet missed out on the XP.From here, close the friends list and as quickly as you can open the item inventory, minimising the time on the open world screen as much as possible (you don't want to give the game an opportunity to present the friends level upgrade screen). Now pop a lucky egg and close the inventory screen. Wait a few seconds and you'll receive the friendship upgrade screen with the double XP awarded to you.Hope that helps anyone in a similar situation as i have been recently. via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2QmqflA
