Pokemon Go

If you have played Pokémon GO for a while now, then there is a good chance that you have heard of the mysterious 'Promo Codes' and wondered how to get your hands on them and what they provide. On this page we can confirm that they're really not so mysterious — they do exist!

Important note! — Previously, Android users could redeem Pokémon GO codes through the 'Promos' field in the in-game shop, though as of 13th February 2024, that option has been removed. HOWEVER! both Android and iOS users can log into their account via Niantic's Offer Redemption webpage and redeem codes online.

Pokémon GO Promo Code questions

What are Pokémon GO promo codes?

As you might expect, Pokémon GO promo codes are occasionally published by Niantic, the makers of the game, or their partners and enable players to input an alphanumeric code to receive various bonuses and Pokégoodies.

What do Pokémon GO promo codes offer?

Pokémon GO promo codes provide players with Poké Balls, Lure Modules, Eggs and other consumable items.

Items
A few of the possible items a code might gift you...

Where can I find Pokémon GO promo codes?

Aside from specific events like the Pokémon World Championships, Niantic has been known to tempt trainers back to the game by emailing promo codes to lapsed players. It's also possible to find lists of codes posted on the internet - some of them single use, others locked after an unspecified number of uses — but ultimately hunting promo codes in this way is a rather long-winded and scattershot method of getting items (many of which are available free from PokéStops).

If you're dedicated though, and you don't mind some detective work, there are plenty of codes circulating on the world wide web to try. Just be careful about clicking on unsavoury links.

We'll keep an eye out for any big promotions Niantic lines up and post details here when we have them.

How do I redeem a Pokémon GO promo code?

You can visit Niantic's Offer Redemption webpage and redeem promo codes there. Simply follow the instructions below (from Niantic's FAQ):

To redeem an offer code on the web:
1. Visit this website.
2. Log in using the same credentials you use to access your Pokémon GO account.
3. Enter your offer code.
4. After successfully redeeming an offer code, a message will display the items added to your inventory.

As we mentioned at the very beginning of this guide, Android users used to be able to redeem codes via the Pokémon GO in-game shop, however this option was removed on 13th February 2024. Both Android and iOS users will now need to follow the above steps if you do come across a Pokémon GO promo code.

Voila!

Why aren't Pokémon GO promo codes redeemable on Android devices anymore?

In the announcement that Android devices will no longer support in-game promo code redemption, Niantic explained its desire for the web store to "provide a one-stop shop for everyone". iOS devices have never allowed codes to be redeemed in-game, so it makes sense that the two methods would meld at some point.

Apple is notoriously antsy when it comes to redeeming things through apps. Amazon Kindle or Audible app users, for example, are unable to buy books through the apps themselves and are forced to purchase via a web browser. Apple takes 30% on all sales that go through its store which is likely the reason why promo code redemption moved entirely to the web store and never came to iOS devices.

IPhoneNO

An earlier Niantic game, Ingress, circumvented this by providing a web-based system to redeem codes through, and this solution eventually materialised for Pokémon GO.
