A new Pokémon GO update is starting to roll out across Android, with an iOS release expected in a few days. This game update brings Pokémon GO up to Version 1.107.1/0.139.1 and includes a few new features. The first is the capability for a new feature called "Lucky Friends". This feature allows for you to become Lucky Friends with another player. This means that your next trade with them will guarantee a Lucky Pokémon. At present it's not clear what mechanics unlock this feature and when it'll be live. It also adds a new feature to allow for notifications from Pokémon GO to stack together.
Finally, it adds the new search tag for searching your Pokémon of "Costume". This allows for you to search for Pokémon wearing costumes from events such as the various hat Pikachu, Sunglasses Squirtle and the Flower Crown Eevee
