Since its wildly successful launch in 2016, Pokémon GO remains one of the most popular free-to-play gaming apps available today. Developed by Niantic, the app allows you to find and catch a huge variety of Pokémon, visit gyms, and battle members of Team Rocket on the go. What’s more, new Pokémon, events, and challenges are regularly introduced to the game, which often offers up some pretty awesome promo codes to snag in-app items. But how exactly do you redeem these codes in Pokémon GO?
While it may seem counterintuitive, the process isn’t completed in the Pokémon GO app. Instead, you’ll need to head over to Niantic’s website to get started, then receive your items within the app once the process is complete. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to redeem promo codes in Pokémon GO.
How to Redeem Promo Codes in Pokémon GO
If you’re looking to redeem the latest promotional code in Pokémon GO, follow these steps.
- Open your web browser and visit Niantic’s Offer Redemption page.
- You’ll be asked to sign in with Google, Facebook, or Niantic Kids. Use the same login information that’s associated with your Pokémon GO account.
- Once logged in, you should see the username and level associated with your Pokémon GO account. If the information is incorrect, sign out and check your login credentials.
- If your information is correct, enter the promotional code you wish to redeem in the text entry box.
- Double-check the code you entered and click Submit.
- Finally, launch the Pokémon GO app to receive your rewards.
Does Pokémon GO Cost Money?
Pokémon GO is a free-to-play app developed by Niantic. By redeeming active promo codes, you can receive free in-app items. However, you can also make in-app purchases to receive special gift boxes, exclusive items like Incense, and PokéCoins. Of course, this will cost you real money. If you’re interested in purchasing extra content or checking prices, head over to the Pokémon GO Web Store.
