Pokémon Go promo codes and how to redeem them

Pokémon Go promo codes provide players with bonus items through various promotions, enhancing their gaming experience. As of July 13, 2024, the only method to redeem these codes is through an official website, applicable for both Android and iOS users.

Since its launch in 2017, there have been limited promotional codes. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Niantic introduced promo codes to support isolated players. From 2021 onward, the game has featured collaborations with various brands, allowing players to redeem codes for exclusive avatar items.

Pokémon Go Promo Codes

Currently active Pokémon Go codes include:

• LJRAMRU3RYCMC – 250 Max Particles
• FENDIxFRGMTxPOKEMON – FENDIxFRGMTxPOKEMON Hoodie
• A6NEWU63K9AU8 – 2024 Worlds Tee

Each code can be used only once per account. Some codes may be limited to a certain number of players, which will be noted accordingly.

How to Redeem Promo Codes on iOS and Android

The process for redeeming promo codes has been streamlined to a single method. Players must visit the official Niantic rewards website to input their codes. This means that codes can no longer be redeemed directly in the game.

To redeem a promo code:

1. Log in using the same account you use for Pokémon Go.
2. Enter the promo code in the designated field.

Note that Pokémon Trainer Club accounts must be linked to another type of account, such as Google or Facebook, for login purposes.

Once successfully redeemed, players will receive a notification the next time they log into the game.

Where to Find Pokémon Go Promo Codes

Promo codes are often sent to players via email to encourage them to return to the game. Occasionally, Niantic releases codes for the broader community, usually tied to events and collaborations. For example, a themed hoodie was part of a collaboration with Ed Sheeran in late 2021.

These codes are often time-sensitive, so players should redeem them as soon as possible. To stay updated, players can follow Niantic’s support Twitter page, where promo codes may be shared, though they can expire quickly.

The History of Promo Codes in Pokémon Go

The concept of promo codes was first introduced by Niantic in 2017. These codes were offered through partnerships and special events, allowing players to redeem various items such as Poké Balls and Lure Modules.

Over the years, players have received codes through various promotions, including emails targeting inactive players and partnerships with companies like Sprint. While the frequency of these codes has been limited, there is potential for Niantic to expand collaborations with various brands worldwide, further enhancing the promotional offerings.

Similar to Niantic’s other game, Ingress, where codes are regularly distributed through social media and events, Pokémon Go players may hope for more frequent and substantial promo code opportunities in the future.
