Promo codes are alphanumeric strings distributed by Niantic that unlock specific in-game rewards. Unlike microtransactions, these codes provide items at no cost. Niantic releases them during special events, partnerships, community celebrations, or through content creators and sponsors.
Each code typically has an expiration date and usage limit. Some codes work globally, while others are region-specific. The rewards vary dramatically—from basic consumables to exclusive cosmetic items unavailable through regular gameplay.
Trainers should note that codes are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown. A single misplaced character will result in an error message. Most codes can only be redeemed once per account, preventing multiple claims of the same reward.
