A '''Gift''' (Japanese: '''ギフト''' ''Gift'') is an item that was introduced to [[Pokémon GO]] on June 21, 2018, in conjunction with the {{OBP|Friends|GO}} feature. It is a box of items that players can send to other players who have been added as Friends.

==Effect==
Players will be notified whenever they have received a Gift and when a Gift they have sent has been opened. Attached to the Gift box is a Postcard of the Photo Disc where the Gift was originally obtained. Players receive 200 [[Trainer level|XP]] upon sending a Gift, which is not affected by using a [[Lucky Egg]]. Opening a Gift counts towards daily activities that can increase the players' Friendship level.

A player can only send one Gift to each friend per day and cannot send another one to the same friend until the previous Gift has been opened. Players can only open up to 30 Gifts a day, though there is no limit on how many can be received at once. Gifts do not take up space in a player's Bag, but each player can only carry up to 20{{tt|*|formerly 10, and originally 5}} Gift boxes at one time.

===Stickers===

Since June 11, 2020, players also have the option to place one sticker onto a Gift's Postcard upon sending it out. Stickers can most commonly be obtained from opening Gifts, spinning [[PokéStop|PokéStops]], or purchasing from the [[PokéCoin|Shop]].

===Postcards===

Since December 16, 2021, players are able to pin Postcards from Gifts and save them into their '''Postcard Book'''. A Postcard Book can hold up to 350 Postcards.

On December 15, 2022, {{p|Scatterbug}}'s evolutionary line was introduced in Pokémon GO, which is obtained from the Vivillon Collector {{OBP|medal|GO}}. The Vivillon Collector contains 18 sub-medals, one for each of {{p|Vivillon}}'s regional patterns. Each time a postcard is pinned, progress is added towards the sub-medal corresponding to the Postcard's region of origin. After pinning {{tt|3|First time}}/{{tt|9|Second time}}/{{tt|15|Third and subsequent times}} Postcards for a sub-medal, the player is awarded a Scatterbug that can eventually [[Evolution|evolve]] into a Vivillon of the sub-medal's pattern.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/vivillon-launch-postcard-feature/?hl=en Scatterbug, Spewpa, and Vivillon have been discovered in Pokémon GO!]</ref>

On February 27, 2023, in conjunction with [[Pokémon Presents]], an update was released that allows the player to send one Postcard a day to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. Sending a Postcard unlocks the [[Coin Bag]] in Pokémon GO, which can be used once a day to spawn Roaming Form {{p|Gimmighoul}} for 30 minutes. In Scarlet and Violet, the player will receive a bundle of items and a large amount of [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s; the Vivillon pattern that can be encountered will also temporarily change to match the region of the Postcard. Sending a Postcard to a [[Nintendo Switch]] game does not remove the Postcard from the Postcard Book, but each Postcard can only be sent once.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/gocoin/ Pokémon GO can now connect to Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet! Catch Roaming Form Gimmighoul and evolve it into Gholdengo!]</ref>

==Acquisition==
Gifts can only be obtained by spinning Photo Discs at [[PokéStop]]s or {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s. The player's [[Buddy Pokémon]] may also bring Gifts from nearby PokéStops or Gyms once a day.

==Contents==
A Gift box is guaranteed to contain a {{OBP|sticker|GO}} and three of the following bundles, possibly multiple of the same bundle. Among the possible bundles, evolution items are the rarest. Items from Gifts are subject to the same minimum level requirements as those of PokéStops and Gyms. If a 7 km Egg is obtained from a Gift, its met location will be the location of the Photo Disc from which the Gift was originally obtained.

During some [[List of events (GO)|in-game events]], the possible bundles may be expanded to include other items such as [[Razz Berry|Razz Berries]] or [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]]. 

If the player's [[Bag]] is full, they can opt to open the Gift anyways and only receive {{Stardust}}50.
