Niantic has announced a gift event for Pokémon GO from August 5th, 2019 until August 19th, 2019. Various gift related bonuses will be active during that time period.

More Gifts for you, more Gifts for friends!

Trainers, Pokémon GO is better with friends. What better way to show appreciation for your friends than with Gifts?

Date + Time

• Monday, August 5, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT to Monday, August 19, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT

Features

• All Eggs received from Gifts during the event will require only 2 km to hatch and look like 2 km Eggs, but don’t worry, Trainers! The Pokémon that hatch from them will be ones that normally appear in 7 km Eggs, regardless of whether you incubate or hatch them during or after the event.
• For the duration of the event, the number of Gifts you can open daily will increase to 30.
• For the duration of the event, the number of Gifts you can carry in your inventory will increase to 20.
• If you’re lucky, you may hatch a Shiny Bonsly!

Remember to spin those PokéStops and stock up on Gifts so you can make your friends’ days bright by sending each of them a Gift!
