Pokémon Go Referral Program: Rewards And How To Find And Use ...

Where to find and use Referral Codes in Pokémon Go explained

Referrals for Pokémon Go work by giving a new or returning player your Referral Code, which can be accessed by pressing 'Invite' which is located at the top of your Friends List.

Doing this will allow you to see your current Referral Code, which can be refreshed, as well as the ability to both share or copy it.

Returning players can then input this code via the Friend menu to access the Referral Program rewards.

New players, however, have the option to input it during the signup process or on the Friends menu once they've created their account. It should be noted, however, that you'll only have 72 hours to input the Referral Code via the Friends menu.

If you're a new player, we suggest inputting the Referral Code at the beginning of the signup process, simply because it saves time as the Friend's request to your referrer will be automatically sent as you make your account

Once the new or returning player has used the Referral Code, the referrer will need to ensure they accept the referred player's Friend request to unlock the Referral Program rewards for both players. To earn all of the Referral Program rewards, you must both remain of each other's Friends Lists until the referred players completes all of the quests.

After you've added the person to your Friends List, both of you will be able to find the list of Referral Quests and rewards on the dedicated page for that player.

Only the referred player can complete these quests, as they are designed to encourage them to start playing again and experiment with new game features they have missed, but both players can earn rewards from the quests completion.

The Referred Player will also receive a gift of 100 PokéBalls for using the code, which will give them a great start in their Pokémon journey. The referrer, however, will receive 50 Stardust.
