Limited-Time Dream Gifts

A limited-time Dream Gift will appear by Snorlax’s side on December 24 and 25. You can get rewards by tapping the gift once per day.

The gift lineup is the same for all researchers. Each day, the contents of the Dream Gift will be chosen randomly from the lineup. That means that all researchers who log in on both applicable days will get all the same rewards by the end.
Notes: Please see applicable days under “Bonuses.”
If you don’t accept a Dream Gift from the home screen after logging in, it will be sent to your Gift Box (from the home screen, go to the Main Menu and tap the gift box icon on the upper right).

■ Notes about Dream Gifts
• You can’t receive Dream Gifts for days when you didn’t log in.
• You can’t receive Dream Gifts during the tutorial.
(In both cases, the Dream Gifts will not be sent to your Gift Box.)

Limited-Time Candy Boost

Using Candy Boost lets your helper Pokémon get twice the usual amount of EXP from candies in exchange for using five times the usual amount of Dream Shards per candy. This function can be used with up to 500 candies per day.

You can freely toggle this function ON or OFF by tapping the button in the upper right of the Level Up screen. Feel free to use Candy Boost when you want to level up your helper Pokémon!
Note: During the event, Candy Boost will be set to ON by default.
