Are Sponsored Gifts Worth Enabling?

In Pokemon GO, berries and other items are incredibly valuable tools for successfully catching Pokemon. Stardust, for instance, can enhance a Pokemon's power, teach them new moves, or purify Shadow Pokemon. Trainers are well aware that the most efficient way to acquire these items is by finishing Research Tasks or visiting PokeStops.

How Do You Enable Sponsored Gifts?

Sponsored Gifts won't appear on the map permissions are turned off. To enable Sponsored Gifts, permissions need to be enabled in Settings. Here's what to do:

Tap the Poke Ball icon on the map.

Select the Settings icon in the top-right corner.

Select General.

In the General page, look for Show sponsored messages from third-party advertising services before the Sharing section.

Tap the icon adjacent to "Show sponsored messages..." to view a Sponsored Gift/Balloon on the map. To preview the Sponsor, tap the gift/balloon, and select "Open in AR Mode." Enabling Niantic AR Mode in Settings is not necessary, but Camera Permissions are required. Upon entering AR Mode, players must tap anywhere on the screen to place the Sponsor Balloon.

After watching the advertisement, bubbles will appear on the screen displaying different items, similar to the ones seen when completing Research Tasks or opening Gifts. Generally, Sponsored Gifts consist of berries like Pinap Berries, Potions, or Stardust. In some rare instances, players might even receive a Golden Razz Berry or a Silver Pinap Berry. At one point, Sponsored Gifts also included a complimentary Poffin, which are delightful treats that can be fed to a Buddy Pokemon.

How Often Do Sponsored Gifts Appear?

The timing for when a Sponsored Gift will appear on the screen is unpredictable. As long as the setting remains enabled, there is a possibility of their occurrence. The advantage is that Sponsored Gifts may appear simultaneously with Rocket Balloons, allowing players to collect them before engaging in battles against Team GO Rocket.

Are Sponsored Gifts Worth Enabling?

Sponsored Gifts may include exclusive, valuable items that can only be obtained through Special Research Tasks, Raids, or the in-game Shop. Some players find these gifts worth watching a 15-second ad for. However, certain Sponsored Gifts activate AR Mode and cannot be exited until completed. Additionally, some players prefer not to grant access to third-party content. Ultimately, the choice to engage with Sponsored Gifts is left to each individual Pokemon GO player.

Pokemon GO is compatible with mobile devices.
