Pokemon Sword and Shield: How to Get Lucky Egg

Even with Pokemon Sword and Shield‘s streamlined EXP Share mechanic, grinding can still be a chore that can burn you out on the game fast. That’s why we’re here to help you minimize it with a guide on how to get the Lucky Egg.

How to Get Lucky Egg in Pokemon Sword and Shield

As with past titles, Pokemon Sword and Shield feature the Lucky Egg item. When given to a Pokémon in your party, it increases the amount of EXP they earn from winning in battles, speeding up the rate at which they level up by a decent amount.

This makes it a must-have item for those looking to minimize their grinding, though getting it does require you to jump through a few hoops and talk to a few specific NPCs.

To that end, we’ve done the leg work and developed a list of steps for you to follow to nab it with minimal hassle.

How to Complete the Chef’s First Delivery

First, you’ll need to head to Hulbury. This is the town where you’ll find the second Gym, and where you’ll speak with Chairman Rose while he’s in disguise.

After reaching Hulbury, head toward the seafood restaurant to the right of the Pokémon Center. Go inside, and speak to the chef to discover that his delivery boy called in sick and he needs help delivering food.

Offer to help him out, and then accept the first batch of food you need to deliver. However, he won’t know exactly where you need to deliver the food to. Instead, he’ll offer the clue that he heard a “clickity clack” noise while the order was being placed.

This is meant to point you toward the railway station at the top of a hill on the left side of town. Head toward the railway station, and then go into the house just to the right of the station. Speak to the grey-haired woman to deliver the food, and you’ll be tipped with an EXP Candy L for your trouble.

Head back to the restaurant and inform the chef that the delivery is complete. He’ll thank you, and pay you for your time with five nuggets.

How to Complete the Chef’s Second Delivery in Pokemon Sword and Shield

Next, talk to the chef again to accept another delivery. Like last time, he doesn’t know where it needs to go, but he heard a Pokémon cry that sounded like “Swirl” over the phone while the order was placed.

This is meant to point you toward a house with a Swirlix in it, found at the top of a row of houses to the left of the restaurant and just before the stairs leading up to the last delivery location.

Go to the house, and then talk to the rotund blond man in the back of the living room. He’ll accept the food, after which you can go back to the restaurant and report your success to the chef. He’ll pay you with two Big Nuggets.

How to Complete the Chef’s Final Delivery

After that, there will be one more delivery the chef will need you to complete in Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Speak to him again and accept the delivery. Once again, the chef has a clue instead of a location, telling you he was told to look for a green roof.

This refers to one of the market stalls in Hulbury’s open market. From the restaurant, head back and down the stairs into the market. Then, turn right and look for the man in a grey shirt manning a stall with a green striped roof.

Speak to him to deliver the food, and then head back to the restaurant. Speak to the chef to let him know the food is delivered, and he’ll reward you for all of your hard work with the Lucky Egg.
