Pokémon GO referral code: 100 Poké Balls to start

Take a number. Right now you are wave 1.

Numbers are handed out in order and never reused. The place you take today is the best place you will ever have.

Only 10 spots left in wave 1

How the queue works

  1. Numbers are handed out in order and never reused. Join later and you start further back, always.
  2. A new referral code goes to the first 10 in the queue. Ten more every five minutes after that.
  3. Ten unlocks and the referral code is finished, so it rarely gets past the first waves.
  4. Unlock one and you leave the queue - everyone behind you moves up a place.
  5. Let three turns go by without unlocking and your number goes to the back.

One click in the confirmation email holds your place. Nothing else is ever sent, and one click stops it.

Pokémon GO's referral pays both Trainers. Enter someone's code while you are setting up and you start with 100 Poké Balls, then earn more as you pass your first milestones - and the Trainer who invited you earns Ultra Balls, incense and encounters at the same moments.

This is not the same thing as a promo code. Promo codes come from Niantic and expire; a referral code belongs to a Trainer and works as long as they are playing. Trainers list theirs here, and a queue decides who gets the next one.

Available Pokémon GO referral codes

No Pokémon GO referral codes on the board right now

Referral codes are listed a few times a week and unlocked within minutes. The list above gets the email the moment one lands. Refreshing this page does not.

Already playing Pokémon GO? List your spare referral codes - they go unused otherwise.

How sharing your Pokémon GO referral codes works

Every referral code on this board comes from someone choosing to pass it on rather than let it sit in an app. Listing yours takes a few seconds and costs nothing.

  1. 1

    Find your referral code

    Pokémon GO -> your Trainer profile -> Invite to Pokémon GO. The code sits above Share referral code.

  2. 2

    List it on the board

    Paste it and it goes live. We store the code only and show it masked until a signed-in visitor unlocks it, so bots can't scrape your referral codes in one pass.

  3. 3

    Give someone the opportunity

    Someone gets 100 Poké Balls for starting, and more at each milestone you pass because you chose not to let a referral code go unused. Your dashboard shows how many people you reached, and you get Ultra Balls, incense and encounters as your recruit hits their milestones.

Pokémon GO at a glance

What the offer is
Niantic's own Invite to Pokémon GO referral.
What you get
100 Poké Balls for starting, and rewards at each milestone after.
What the sharer gets
Rewards as you log in, beat Team GO Rocket grunts and finish Field Research.
Who can use one
New Trainers, and returning Trainers who have been away 90 days or more.
Where it goes
Typed into the game while you set your Trainer up.
Not the same as
A promo code from Niantic, or a Trainer friend code (those only add a friend).

Niantic's rule, stated on the invite screen: referring someone who has already started only earns rewards if that Trainer has not logged in for over 90 days.

How to use a Pokémon GO referral code

  1. Take a number here and confirm your email - that one click is also your sign-in.
  2. When your wave opens, unlock a code on the board and copy it.
  3. Install Pokémon GO and start creating your Trainer. Enter the code when the game asks for one.
  4. Returning after 90 days or more? The game offers the same prompt when you come back.
  5. Your 100 Poké Balls arrive, and both of you collect more as you hit milestones. Tell us whether it worked.

Referral code, promo code or friend code?

  • A referral code is a Trainer's personal invite - 100 Poké Balls for you, milestone rewards for them. That is what this board exchanges.
  • A promo code comes from Niantic, usually with an event or a partner, and is redeemed on the Pokémon GO web store. They expire, often within days, and no board can keep them fresh.
  • A friend code is a 12-digit number that adds someone to your friends list. It pays neither side anything.

What the milestones actually pay

The invite screen lists them as your recruit works through them: logging in, defeating three Team GO Rocket grunts, completing 25 Field Research tasks, and further goals after that. Each one credits the Trainer who shared the code, which is why an unused code is worth listing rather than leaving in the app.

The rewards on the new Trainer's side start with 100 Poké Balls and continue alongside - nobody is trading away their own start to help somebody else's.

Why codes from a list usually do nothing

A referral code has to be entered while a Trainer account is being set up. Pasted into an account that is already running, it does nothing at all - which is the single most common reason a code found on a forum looks broken.

Get the code first, then create the Trainer. The queue here exists so the code is in hand before you install the game.

Pokémon GO referral terms, limits and who is eligible

All program rules are Pokémon GO’s and can change without notice. The binding version is the one in the app: The Invite to Pokémon GO screen in game, and Niantic's own terms of service. Where this page and that screen disagree, that screen is right.

Pokémon GO referral code questions

What does a Pokémon GO referral code give you?
100 Poké Balls when you start your journey, plus further rewards as you pass milestones. The Trainer who shared the code earns their own rewards at those same milestones - items like Ultra Balls, incense and Pokémon encounters.
Where do I enter a Pokémon GO referral code?
In the game, while you are setting up a new Trainer - Pokémon GO asks whether you have a referral code. Returning Trainers who have been away for 90 days or more get the same prompt when they come back.
Can an existing Pokémon GO player use a referral code?
Only after a long break. Niantic's rule, printed on the invite screen, is that referring someone who has already started earns rewards only if that Trainer has not logged in for over 90 days. An active account gets nothing from a code.
Is a referral code the same as a Pokémon GO promo code?
No. Promo codes come from Niantic, are redeemed on the Pokémon GO web store, and expire quickly. A referral code belongs to a Trainer, is entered in the game at setup, and keeps working while they play. This board exchanges referral codes.
How many people can use one referral code?
Niantic states no limit on the invite screen, and a Trainer can refresh their code whenever they like. This board still retires a listing after ten unlocks so that one code does not become the whole queue.
Do Pokémon GO referral codes cost anything?
No. Trainers list their codes here and a queue decides who gets the next one. Nothing on this site is sold, and a code that has to be bought is not a referral code.
