Tomorrow, on July 17, 2021, the GO Fest 2021 will start in Pokémon GO. On this occasion, there are sponsored gifts for the trainers. We have looked into how you can get them and what is inside.
What is it about? This weekend, the Pokémon GO Fest 2021 will take place. Various bonuses and gifts for the Pokémon GO players have been announced in the past days. From now on, there are again sponsored gifts in the game. We will show you where to get them and what you will receive.
Where can you get the sponsored gifts?
For the first time today, on July 16, pink hot air balloons have been spotted in the game in Germany. They have also been sighted in other parts of the world. This type of balloon contains sponsored gifts. Since Google is the main sponsor of the GO Fest, the gifts in the balloon are also from Google.
When will you receive this balloon? For most players, the pink hot air balloon appeared right after opening the game. Individual trainers, like reddit user TheRealHankWolfman, reported that they even received this balloon multiple times (via reddit.com). However, specific times for when the balloon appears in the game are not known.
What gifts are there?
The sponsored gifts from the balloon consist of items and stardust. However, these vary in type and quantity among different trainers. Overall, each balloon contains 3 items including stardust. According to reports from players on reddit, the following items have been received so far (via reddit.com):
- (Max) Revive
- (Max) Potion
- Razz Berries
- Silver Razz Berries
- Nanab Berries
- Poké Balls
In addition, the stardust varies between 125 and 250. However, not every trainer received stardust. Some received one extra item instead. Whether there will be other items from the balloons besides those mentioned is currently unknown.
Furthermore, Google uses this balloon to refer to one of their other bonuses, which currently exists. Trainers can earn quadruple points when purchasing through the Play Store in connection with Pokémon GO. Play Store users can collect these points to later convert them into vouchers. This action runs until July 18, 2021.
Who can receive the balloon? Unfortunately, there were restrictions on who could receive the sponsored bonuses from Google last time. In some cases, only Google users could enjoy the gifts. Whether this is also the case for the balloon has not yet been officially announced.
However, there are reports in the community from Apple users who have also received these sponsored balloons. Reddit user cobalt_phantom reports that he received two balloons via his iPad (via reddit.com). Thus, these gifts might be available for all trainers in Pokémon GO this time.
