More Gifts for you, more Gifts for friends!

Pokémon GO

Today makes the beginning of a special gift event in Pokemon GO so it’s time to send those presents! The bonuses include shorter hatching times, increased number of gifts you can open, and more.

See the announcement below for more details.

Trainers,

Pokémon GO is better with friends. What better way to show appreciation for your friends than with Gifts?

Date + Time

  • Monday, August 5, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT to Monday, August 19, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT

Features

  • All Eggs received from Gifts during the event will require only 2 km to hatch and look like 2 km Eggs, but don’t worry, Trainers! The Pokémon that hatch from them will be ones that normally appear in 7 km Eggs, regardless of whether you incubate or hatch them during or after the event.
  • For the duration of the event, the number of Gifts you can open daily will increase to 30.
  • For the duration of the event, the number of Gifts you can carry in your inventory will increase to 20.
  • If you’re lucky, you may hatch a Shiny Bonsly!

Remember to spin those PokéStops and stock up on Gifts so you can make your friends’ days bright by sending each of them a Gift!
