Pokemon GO: send gifts - how it works
If you want to receive gifts from friends, you should first send them yourself in Pokemon GO. We show you where to find the gifts and how to share them with other players.
Instructions: Send gifts in Pokemon GO
You receive the gifts like all other items at the Pokestop. Once you have found a gift, you can never open it yourself, you can only give it to friends. It works like this:
- Tap your profile at the bottom left and switch to the "Friends" category at the top.
- Find the friend you want and tap the "Send gift" button.
- The respective friend then receives the gift and can open it. You can only send one gift per day.
- If the friend is not yet on your friends list, ask for his trainer code and tap the "Add friend" button.
- By the way, gifts are one way to get a 7 km egg for the Alola Pokemon.
