How to Redeem Pokémon GO Codes
Pokémon GO hands out promo codes in waves, almost always tied to a brand collaboration or a live event. They are smaller than you would expect — a pair of shoes, a hoodie, a stack of berries — and the important part is where you type them: there is no code field anywhere in the app.
Where is the redeem button?
All codes are redeemed on the official web store at store.pokemongo.com/offer-redemption. You sign in with the same account you play with (Google, Apple, Facebook or Pokémon Trainer Club), paste the code and press Apply. The reward syncs to the app the next time you open it.
Full step-by-step guide
- 1 Copy a code from our Pokémon GO codes page — the codes are case-sensitive and contain the letter x, not a multiplication sign.
- 2 Open store.pokemongo.com/offer-redemption in any browser, on phone or desktop.
- 3 Sign in with the exact login method your trainer account uses. A different login means a different account and the reward will not appear.
- 4 Paste the code into the Enter code box. Do not add spaces before or after it.
- 5 Press Apply and wait for the confirmation message on the page — the reward is credited server-side at this point.
- 6 Reopen Pokémon GO. Avatar items land in the Style menu (some collab items sit under SPONSORS), consumables in your item bag, and Timed Research in the Today tab.

Codes not working? Try these fixes
The code says it is invalid or already used
Every Pokémon GO promo code works once per account. If you have redeemed it before, or a friend's account redeemed it on your device, you will get this error. Codes also get switched off without notice when a collaboration window closes — LEGOxPOKEMONGOxCAP and MLBxPOKEMONGO2026 are both dead in October 2026 even though old guides still list them.
I redeemed the code but nothing shows in the app
Check the right menu first. Outfits go to Style, and collab outfits often sit under the SPONSORS sub-tab rather than with normal clothing. Berries and Poké Balls go to the item bag, Timed Research appears in the Today tab. If nothing is there, confirm you were signed into the same account on the web store as in the app — this is the single most common cause.
Can I redeem a code from inside the game?
No. Pokémon GO has never had an in-app code box, and iOS rules are part of the reason. Everything goes through the web store. Any site or app claiming to redeem Pokémon GO codes for you is asking for your login and should be avoided.

Why is my Pokémon GO code not working?
Most rejections mean the code expired or was mistyped. Codes are case-sensitive and may contain punctuation — paste instead of typing, and check the code detail page for its verified status.
Do Pokémon GO codes expire?
Yes. Official codes usually carry an expiry or usage cap and can be retired at any update. Every code on this site shows its last-verified date — confirm it is Active before redeeming.
Can I redeem Pokémon GO codes on mobile?
Yes. iOS / Android mobile and PC share the same account, so the steps are identical — copy the code here, switch to the game and paste it in the rewards menu.
How do I fix an "invalid code" error in Pokémon GO?
Confirm the code has not expired, remove any stray spaces, and check whether your account already redeemed it. Codes marked "Worth a try" have conflicting reports — pasting them costs nothing.
