You want to find friends in Pokémon GO to complete the current challenge? We show you three ways to do it quickly.
What kind of challenge is this? The challenge “Tough Times: Friendship Challenge” started with the event “Tough Times”. It is a limited-time research that ends on December 15, 2023, at 8:00 PM.
There are the following rewards for new friendships:
- Make a new friendship: 5,000 XP
- Make 2 new friendships: 5,000 XP
- Make 3 new friendships: 5,000 XP
- Completion of the challenge: 25 Ultra Balls, 2,500 Stardust, 5,000 XP
You can easily earn 20,000 XP here. But you need 3 new friendships for that. Here we summarize how you can do this quickly.
The event belongs to the current season “Timeless Travels”:
How to quickly get new friends in Pokémon GO
Option 1 – Use the same friend three times: This is a trick that some trainers recommend in the subreddit “TheSilphRoad” for Pokémon GO. If you have a new friend you can contact, add each other and then remove each other. Do this three times – and it should count three times for the research.
Caution: It’s better not to do this with old friends with whom you have already built high friendship levels – they will be lost.
Option 2 – Use remote raids with Campfire or PokeGenie: You can go to a raid and then host it in apps like PokeGenie or Campfire. Then other trainers will send you friend requests that you must accept to invite them to raids. Here you have the advantage that you receive requests immediately and quickly.
Conversely, you can also join a remote raid through these apps, but you need to use a remote raid pass and will only gain one friendship yourself.
Option 3 – Use groups where friend codes are shared: There are various sites and groups where trainers share their friend codes. Here you will find many codes to which you can send requests. The advantage is that you have a large selection. However, it may happen that you have to wait a bit for a response.
Good options are:
- Our Facebook group for Pokémon GO – Here you will find a thread with friendship codes in the announcements
- Communities like PokemonGOFriends (on reddit) are an option
- Players also share their codes on the site pogotrainer.club
Just check there to send out some requests. Then you can quickly get the necessary friendships.
Overall, building friendships in Pokémon GO is a good thing because you can also receive and send gifts that can provide you with various items. Additionally, you can exchange postcards with players from other regions to obtain different Vivillon forms.
