Pokemon FRLG - Lucky Egg Guide
Lucky Eggs have a chance of being held by Chansey in the Safari Zone of Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen (FRLG). See the Lucky Egg locations, how to obtain them, odds, uses, and best ways to find them here!

List of Contents

How to Get Lucky Egg and Odds

Held by Chansey in Safari Zone

Chance of Chansey Appearing
(Area 2)		 4% or 0.04
Chance of a Lucky Egg 5% or 0.05
Catch Rate 6% or 0.06
Estimated Lucky Egg Chance .012% or 0.00012

Lucky Eggs are mainly obtained from Chansey in the Safari Zone. These are extremely rare items, as the odds of Chansey appearing alone are low enough. On top of that, the chance of a Lucky Egg being held by Chansey appearing is even lower.

Getting Chansey with a Lucky Egg is one of the rarest tasks in Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, akin to Shiny Hunting!

Best Way to Find Lucky Eggs

Checkmark Get a Lv. 26 Pokemon with Surf
Checkmark Bring Multiple Repels
Checkmark Head to Safari Zone
Checkmark Catch Chansey by Throwing Safari Balls

The best way to find a Lucky Egg Chansey is by having a Pokemon at Lv. 26 and use Repel items to ward off enemies lower than the level. This increases Chansey's appearance slightly.

Get a Lv. 26 Pokemon with Surf

Ideal Pokemon
Pokemon FRLG - Tentacool Tentacool Pokemon FRLG - Starmie Starmie
(LeafGreen)

It is important to bring a Lv. 26 Pokemon with the ability to use Surf, like Tentacool. This is important for you to reach Safari Zone Area 2 where Chansey appears.

Some Pokemon who have Illuminate will also increase the chances of encounters, like LeafGreen's exclusive Starmie.

Where to Get Surf (HM03)

Bring Multiple Repels

Make sure to bring multiple Repels when farming for your Lucky Egg. This is important to prevent encounters with Pokemon that are lower than Lv. 26. As Chansey is guaranteed to appear above Lv. 26, this will increase the odds of seeing Chansey slightly.

Head to Safari Zone

Safari Zone Map

Next, go to the Safari Zone and save the game on the Poke Ball icon on the carpet. If you head past this point, the teller will immediately talk to you and charge you for entering the Safari Zone.

Once you save and go inside the Safari Zone, use Surf and go to Area 2, where Chansey appears most. You can only move up to 600 steps in the Safari Zone, although changing the direction you're facing doesn't count, while still letting you encounter new Pokemon.

Safari Zone Guide

Catch Chansey by Throwing Safari Balls

Chansey Catch

Turns Thrown Item
First Two 2 Bait
Rotation 1 3 Balls, 1 Bait
Rotation 2 2 Balls, 1 Bait
Sample Fight: 2 Bait → Rotation 1 → Rotation 2 → Rotation 1 → Rotation 2 → Rotation 1 → Rotation 2 → etc.

After you encounter Chansey, the only step left is to catch it. Chansey has a low catch rate with a high chance of fleeing.

To increase the chances of a capture, begin the encounter by throwing bait twice, followed by rotation 1, then rotation 2. Afterwards, cycle between rotation 1 and 2. If you don't catch Chansey, simply repeat by soft-resetting.
