"LPT: If you know you're about to go Best Friends with someone, and you know they have the final gift to trigger it, quickly go to your friends list upon logging on and see if they've triggered it. If they have, immediately go to your item bag and use a Lucky Egg. You'll still get 2x exp."

#PokemonGO: I'm not sure if everyone is aware of this, but I just figured this out, and it's taken all the stress away from trying to coordinate Ultra/Best friends with people. This trick requires that you keep tabs on the people who are about to upgrade friendship levels on your friends list. If you know you're 1 day away from becoming Ultra/Best Friends with someone, and the other person has the final gift to trigger it: upon logging on, IMMEDIATELY click on your friends list and see if they've triggered it by clicking on their name and confirming that your friendship level with them has gone up (also, if they've opened a gift from you that day, there will be a blue circle around their avatar). If they've triggered a new friendship level, exit your friends list, immediately go to your item bag, and use a Lucky Egg. As long as you use the Lucky Egg prior to the 'You and __________ are now Ultra/Best Friends!' screen appearing, you WILL STILL get 2x exp from it. This basically means that even if you're not online when the person opens the gift to trigger the new friendship level, you can still get 2x exp from it as long as they don't immediately delete you from their friends list after triggering it (I know this has happened to me, and other members of this community. My heart goes out to you). I hope this trick helps some of you out there and takes away the stress of wondering which person will send/open that final gift. via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/3h1lIRv
