The '''Referral Code''' (Japanese: '''リファラルコード''' ''Referral code'') is a feature in [[Pokémon GO]] that unlocks several rewards for new and returning players. This feature was added on March 30, 2021.

==Obtaining a code==
[[File:Pokémon GO Referral code.png|200px|thumb|Obtaining a referral code]]
A referral code can be obtained from another player who already installed [[Pokémon GO]]. To get the code, the existing player need to go to their [[Friends (GO)|Friend List]] and tap Invite. The code can be shared with a new player or a player that has not played in at least 90 days.

===Redeeming a code===
When a player opens up their game, they have the option '''Have a Referral Code?''' that allows them to redeem a code. If the option is not available upon the initial login, the option is still available on the Friend List by tapping Invite. When a code is submitted, a friend request will be sent to the existing player. The other player has to accept the friend request in order to get the rewards. The code must be redeemed within 72 hours of creating or logging into their account.

===Adding friends===
A player can select the option '''Add Friends from Contacts/Add Facebook Friends''' to invite friends. When the option is accessed, the following message will appear:
:''"Hi <player>, I thought you might enjoy playing Pokémon GO together. Would you like to join me?"''
:''"We can both receive bonuses by using my referral code <nowiki><code></nowiki> when you sign up. Follow this link if you're interested:"''
:''"'''<link>'''"''
:''"I look forward to adventuring together!"''

==Rewards==
===Items===
The Trainer who summitted the code receives 100 [[Poké Ball]]s, while the Trainer who shared the code receives the Friend Finder [[Medal (GO)|Medal]]{{tt|*|first time}}/has their Friend Finder Medal raised by 1{{tt|*|subsequent times}} and they receive 50 {{OBP|Stardust|GO}}.

Referral Code (GO)

2025-09-01T22:30:39Z

Zinc: Grammar fix. Also, perhaps this sentence can be shortened to: “The Trainer who summitted the code receives 100 Poké Balls, while the Trainer who shared the code has their Friend Finder Medal raised by 1* and they receive 50 Stardust.”?
