Pokémon GO gives away 39 items – Here’s how to get the promo code

In Pokémon GO there are free items worth $5 to collect again. To do this, you need to enter a promo code, which this time is a bit trickier to obtain.

Update May 8 at 6:00 PM: The code seems to have expired. Most trainers report that the promotion has already been removed from the Samsung website. However, it is possible that it will return in a few days.

What items are available? A total of 39 items are waiting for you in the package. This includes 35 Poké Balls, 2x Incense, and a Snorlax.

While previously in such promotions you only had to redeem a promo code, this time it is a bit more complicated. You need to log in on the Samsung website to obtain a code. However, you don’t have to be an Android user for this.

How to redeem the promo code and receive the items

Here you get the items: This time, the way to the free items is a bit more complicated. We will go through it step by step:

1. Open the Samsung website for the USA
2. If you scroll down a bit, you will see a picture of Alolan Meowth
3. Click “View Details” below that
4. Create a Samsung account or log in
5. Go back to “View Details” and this time provide your used email address
6. Check your emails, as you will now have received a message that provides you with the one-time promo code
7. Go to the in-game shop of Pokémon GO and redeem the code or visit the Niantic website, where you can also redeem the code (iOS users can only choose the second option)

How long is the code valid? According to Samsung, you can redeem this code for a month, until June 7.

Is this for every account? On reddit , players report that trainers from all over the world and regardless of the device can redeem this code. So you don’t need a Samsung device to receive the free items.

Are the items worth it? In total, the products are worth $5. Especially the Incense should interest many players, as it currently attracts significantly more Pokémon and lasts for a full hour.

The Poké Balls will also come in handy, as many trainers are still complaining about a lack of balls. So you can catch a few more Pokémon.

Currently, you can mostly throw them at Pokémon of the 2nd generation, as they are appearing more frequently due to the Johto event at the moment.
