Does distance counts into lucky pokemons?

So we know that older pokemons are easier to become lucky, but is distance also a factor? Last two pokemons I trade to for 3 candies got lucky + some others before I started to suspicious about it

Does anyone has more info about it? I also would like to know the exact %% for vanilla trades, %% for older pokemons, 1 year old, 2 year old, things like that if its possible

I don´t think it counts. I traded for 7.5 mil distance - usually each trade >+9.000 km and only rarely get a lucky one.

Not in my experience. 6k trades, 5,6mil distance, never noticed a difference.

Nobody knows the exact percentages but TSR is probably working on research about it.

Distance has no impact on lucky status.

To be honest, I don't even know if age actually makes a difference in lucky rates beyond the guaranteed 10 thing. Most of my luckies have been trades between myself and my fiancee with things that have been recently caught and it's not like we're trade crazy - I still don't have the gold trading badge. If someone had data that confirmed age being a factor I'd love to see it, otherwise I'm beginning to feel like it's the same situation the "gold gym badges awarding EX passes" thing was in.

I have over 2000 trades, I was counting at first the probabilites but I got tired because Niantic was changing the formula over the first updates, however I did have more lucky with old pokemons.

I've been able to "force" luckies using pokemon from July/Aug 2016. Those dates have a real impact.
