Now, six years on, Pok\u00e9mon Go continues to release new features to keep players gripped with the latest being the option to add friends.<\/p>\n
Every Pok\u00e9mon Go player has their own unique 12-digit Trainer Code and a connected QR code.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Pok\u00e9mon Go friend codes and how to add your friends.<\/p>
What are Pok\u00e9mon Go friend codes?<\/strong><\/h2>\nPok\u00e9mon Go friend codes allow players across the world to stay connected as well as helping players find new friends to trade and fight enemies with.<\/p>\n
As well as giving Pok\u00e9mon Go trainers the pure enjoyment of playing with others, Pok\u00e9mon Go friend codes allow players to gain both more experience points and raid bonuses.<\/p>\n
These aren\u2019t the only benefits \u2013 by trading Pok\u00e9mon with other players you can fill gaps in your Pok\u00e9dex and by exchanging gifts and trading you can quickly amass XP (something which is especially useful once you\u2019re past level 30 and levelling up becomes more of a slog).<\/p>\n
The more trainers you play with, the more you\u2019ll see your Friendship Level increase \u2013 and the higher it goes, the bigger a bonus you\u2019ll receive.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what each level bags you:<\/p>\n
Good Friend: <\/strong>Players can trade all Pok\u00e9mon except Mythical<\/p>\nGreat Friend:<\/strong> Players will gain attack bonuses during gym battles with that friend (3000XP), Stardust discounts for trading and one extra Premier Ball for raids carried out with that friend<\/p>\nUltra Friend: <\/strong>Even larger attack bonuses during gym battles with that friend (50,000XP), two extra Premier Balls for raids with that friend and additional Stardust discounts for trading<\/p>\nBest Friend: <\/strong>Four extra Premier Balls for raids carried out with that friend, massive Stardust discount for trading and the largest attack bonus during gym battles with that friend (100,000XP)<\/p>\nYou can give out up to 100 gifts a day to your friends, however, you can only give the same friend one gift a day. Players themselves are only allowed to open 12 gifts a day.<\/p>\n

To add a friend you will need to have their unique 12-digit code as Pok\u00e9mon Go does not allow players to search for friends by name in a bid to prevent trainers from interacting with strangers.<\/p>\n

- Go to your Trainer screen and tap the \u2018Friends\u2019 tab in the upper right hand corner.<\/li>\n
- Select \u2018Add Friend\u2019 and enter a Trainer Code of a friend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
Once you\u2019ve added the code, your friend will be asked to accept your request to be friends and voila, you\u2019re now connected on Pok\u00e9mon Go.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s worth noting that there is a cap on how many friends you can add \u2013 the current cap is 400, but this may be changed in the future.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking to find a whole lot of friends on Pok\u00e9mon Go, it\u2019s also worth noting that there are entire websites \u2014 like PogoTrainer.club<\/a> and PokemonGoFriendCodes.com<\/a> \u2014 dedicated to the sharing of friend codes.<\/p>\nHow to access your Pok\u00e9mon Go friend code<\/strong><\/h2>\n\u00a0<\/strong>Here\u2019s how to access your own code to share with others:<\/p>\n- Go to your Trainer screen and tap the \u2018Friends\u2019 tab in the upper right hand corner.<\/li>\n
