Formula Used
Raw XP = sum of each action count multiplied by its base XP.
Total multiplier = lucky egg multiplier × event bonus multiplier.
Boosted XP = raw XP × total multiplier.
Projected XP = current XP + boosted XP.
Time used = sum of each action count multiplied by its seconds per action.
XP per minute = boosted XP ÷ available lucky egg minutes.
Estimated eggs needed = needed XP ÷ boosted XP per planned session, rounded upward.

About This Lucky Egg Planner
A lucky egg session can feel simple at first. Yet small choices can change the final experience total. This calculator helps you plan those choices before the timer starts. It combines catches, evolutions, raids, friendship rewards, new entries, and custom actions. You can enter the base experience for each action. You can also change the egg multiplier and any event bonus. That makes the tool useful during normal play, themed events, or personal challenges.
Why Planning Matters
The main risk during a lucky egg is wasted time. Players often activate the egg and then start sorting. That delay lowers the value of the item. A planned list reduces that waste. The time fields estimate how long your selected actions may take. The calculator then compares that time against the active minutes. It shows whether your plan fits inside one egg. It also estimates how many eggs may be required for a larger target.
Smart Inputs
Use current experience and target experience to set a goal. Use counts and base experience values for each activity. Keep base values clean. Add event bonuses with the separate multiplier field. For example, use two for a double experience event. Use one when no extra event applies. This keeps the formula clear and easy to audit.
Reading the Results
The result panel shows raw experience, boosted experience, needed experience, surplus, shortfall, and experience per minute. The fit message helps you decide if the session is realistic. If the plan is too long, reduce slow actions first. Raids and long friendship screens can use more time than quick evolutions. If the plan is short, add prepared evolutions or catches.
Better Session Habits
Prepare storage before starting. Mark Pokémon for evolution. Clear bag space. Confirm internet stability. Open gifts or claim rewards only when ready. Keep a small buffer for lag and menu movement. A good plan does not need to be perfect. It only needs to save time and prevent missed experience. Review the example table when choosing starting values. It shows how different action mixes can create very different outcomes, even with the same multiplier during busy events too. Use the export buttons to save results after testing several plans.
FAQs
What does this lucky egg calculator do?
It estimates total experience from planned actions. It applies your lucky egg multiplier and event multiplier. It also checks whether the selected activities fit within your available time.
Should I enter boosted XP or base XP?
Enter base XP for each action. The calculator applies the lucky egg and event multipliers separately. This keeps the result cleaner and easier to adjust.
Can I use it for event bonuses?
Yes. Enter the event bonus in the event multiplier field. Use 1 when no event bonus applies. Use 2 for a double experience event.
Why is setup time included?
Setup time accounts for delays after activation. Sorting, loading, opening menus, or claiming rewards can reduce useful egg time. A small buffer makes the plan more realistic.
What is XP per minute?
XP per minute divides boosted XP by available lucky egg minutes. It helps compare different plans. A higher value usually means a more efficient session.
How are estimated eggs needed calculated?
The calculator divides needed XP by boosted XP from one planned session. It then rounds upward. This shows how many similar sessions may reach the target.
Can I add special activities?
Yes. Use the custom action fields for any activity not listed. Add its count, base XP, and estimated seconds. It will be included in totals.
Do the exports include my results?
Yes. The CSV and PDF buttons generate downloadable result summaries from the current form values. Recalculate after changing inputs for updated exports.
