Pokemon Go Friends and Referral Program
Looking for a Pokemon Go friends and referral program explanation? The game has just introduced a friends system that allows players to earn rewards by getting their friends to join the game. The new system also includes referral quests that require players to collaborate with their friends.
While it’s unsure whether the new system will encourage new players or those who haven’t played in 90 days or more to drop their AR-based game of choice, here’s everything you need to know about the Pokemon Go friends and referral program. This will hopefully lead to more opportunities to catch rare Pokemon with your buddies, more quests, and more rewards.
How to Get a Friend Referral Code
Existing players can invite their friends to Pokemon Go or use a friend's code if they’re starting new or returning to the game. Here’s how to obtain a friend referral code in Pokemon Go:
Explanation
Players around the world can use referral codes, which can often be found online on platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook where Pokemon Go communities are extremely active. As long as the players live in the same country and have a Pokemon Go account in common, they can input a referral code. To do this, they will need to input their specific friend code in the friends list menu or during the sign-up process.
Once a player uses a referral code, they will get 100 Poke Balls and, if they’re a returning player, 50 Stardust, as well as quest rewards.
These rewards will be found on the friend page of the referrer or new/returning player. It doesn’t seem like the quests are found in the quests menu.
Referral Pokemon Go Quests and Rewards
Here are all the quests and rewards for the new referral system:
If you’re a new/returning player, you will need to complete the referral quests from your friend. The referrer, meanwhile, will continue to receive rewards even though you’re doing work for them.
These quests include tasks such as catching Pokemon, completing field research tasks, defeating Team GO Rocket Grunts and Leaders, hatching eggs, making new friends, purifying shadow Pokemon, reaching buddy milestones, trading Pokemon, visiting PokeStops, evolving Pokemon, and winning raids and battles.
Each quest completion comes with specific rewards for both the new/returning player and the referrer, depending on the quest. New/returning players will be rewarded with rare candy, Stardust, and Super Incubators.
After completing the referral quests, there are bonus quests available for the new/returning player to earn additional rewards. These quests include:
So there you have it, the lowdown on everything you need to know about the Pokemon Go friends system and the new referral program. We’d recommend being as honest as possible when inviting friends to the game and try to refrain from posting your code online, where strangers may steal it.
