Edit @ 19:43: Created a page for Lucky Pokémon
Edit @ 21:01: It has been confirmed that the longer Pokémon have been in storage when traded, the more likely they are to become Lucky Pokémon. The images also show that the discount can be even more than half. The feature is coming soon
Edit @ 22:08: The support site for the game also notes that Lucky Pokémon are more likely to be "strong opponents" in battle
