Lucky Channel (Japanese: ラッキーチャンネル Lucky Channel) is a radio program that broadcasts from the Goldenrod Radio Tower in Goldenrod City in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. The station, hosted by DJ Reed, broadcasts in Johto on channel 8.5 of the Pokégear. The channel broadcasts a random OT number which changes every Friday. During the week, the player can visit the Radio Tower and talk to a man on the first floor. If any of the player's Pokémon (including Pokémon in Bill's PC) have an OT ID that partially matches the ID number for the week, they will receive a prize. If the last two digits of the ID match, the player receives a PP Up; if the last three match, an Exp. Share; if all five digits match, the player wins a Master Ball. As a Pokémon's OT is dependent on the Trainer who first caught that Pokémon, this encourages players to trade Pokémon with more people in order to collect more OT numbers.

While the program is no longer broadcast in Generation IV's Johto, the drawing itself remains on the Radio Tower's ground floor, changing daily, rather than weekly, and with the same prizes as the drawings in Hoenn and Sinnoh.
