The Friendship Referral Program Begins In Pokémon GO

The Friendship Referral Program is now live in Pokémon GO. Referring friends as both new and returning players will unlock research tasks and rewards for both the referrer and the referee.

Here how the Friendship Referral Program will work in Pokémon GO as announced on Niantic's official blog:

Whether it's your friend's first time playing or they're returning after a break, they'll receive rewards like Pokémon encounters, Rare Candy, Incubators, and more as they hit milestones on their adventure—and so will you! With the Season of Legends still ongoing, it's the perfect time to invite your friends to join your journey.

How to refer a friend

Go to the Friends screen and tap Invite to get your referral code. Share that code with a friend who's new to Pokémon GO or who hasn't played in at least 90 days. Once they input your referral code—either during the sign-up process or later on the Friends screen—you'll both begin receiving rewards. As your friend reaches milestones on their journey, you'll both receive more rewards. Make sure to help them out along the way!

We already know that the tasks will feature terrific rewards, including some of the rarest Pokémon in the game: Gible and Deino. As we previously reported, here are the currently known tasks that are associated with Friendship Referrals in Pokémon GO.
