Although there's a place to enter a promo code when shopping in the Poké Shop on an Android, the actual promo codes are extremely rare to find. Promo codes, which can be used to redeem prizes and goodies from Niantic and its partners, haven't been distributed much since 2017 and are typically only available through partner promotions and official events. This wikiHow will show you all of the different places you can look for Pokémon Go promo codes on and offline.

Steps

Check out Pokémon Go code websites. Both IGN and Nintendo Life dedicate websites to displaying current Pokémon Go codes. The IGN link only gives you codes that Niantic provides with partners, such as Sprint. If you want to see codes that were emailed to users directly, you'll have to check other sites. Although the codes are rare, check out these sites to see what's available: https://www.ign.com/wikis/pokemon-go/Promo_Codes http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/11/guide_how_to_redeem_pokemon_go_promo_codes You can also search the web for "pokemon promo codes," but most of the ones you'll find on other websites are old or fake. Be careful when browsing unfamiliar sites and never download anything from a service you don't trust.

Stay logged out of Pokémon Go for an extended period of time. Many users report receiving a promo code from Niantic after remaining logged out of the game for an extended period of time. The amount of time may vary, but some users report it can take up to a year. To trigger an email with a code for a few items from Niantic, you'll need to log out of the game and not log in for a while. If you don't log out, but just close the app, it'll run in the background and you won't receive a code. To log out, open Pokémon Go, tap the Poké Ball in the center of your screen, then tap Settings, and then tap Sign Out near your username.

Sign up to receive marketing materials from the Pokémon Company International. Log into your Pokémon Trainer Club account at https://www.pokemon.com/us/, then click to edit your profile, and make sure the box for allowing marketing communications is checked. If not, change the setting, and you'll start receiving marketing communications, like the Pokémon Trainer Club newsletter, which may occasionally include codes.

Check popular Pokémon Go forums. Sites like https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo offer space for Pokémon Go fans to chat online about gameplay. You can search that forum for any mention of "promo codes" by clicking the search bar and typing promo codes.

Attend Pokémon Go events. Although promo codes haven't been offered much since Sprint ran a promotion in 2017, attendees of Pokémon Go Fests and related events around the world have received promo codes and special Pokémons for participating. Check https://pokemongolive.com/events frequently to find out when an event's coming up in your area.
