In the build up to GO Fest 2020, Niantic have been asking Pokemon Go trainers to channel their inner Detective Pikachu. Over the last week trainers have been asked to decipher a code which would be a redeemable Pokemon Go promo code.

The official Twitter account has been sharing these clues on a regular basis. In total there are 13 to work out with each of them corresponding to a letter within the promo code.

The 13 clues and respective answers are as follows:

Code not working

This makes the final code: UBCJL9X6RC47A. However, don’t bother trying it because it won’t work.

The code only worked for the select few trainers that were quick enough to enter it. The reward for the lucky players that did get it was reportedly as follows:

  • Premium Battle Pass x2
  • Super Incubator x2
  • Incense x2
  • Star Piece x2
  • Poke Ball x30
  • Hyper Potion x10
  • Lucky Egg x2

Consolation code – can be reedemed

Fortunately there is a consolation code, a runners-up prize if you will, that can be redeemed. This is: 5PTHMZ3AZM5QC

This will give you the following:

  • Sinnoh Stone x1
  • Max Potion x10
  • Ultra Ball x10

If you’re using an iPhone it can be redeemed through the official Niantic page. Android users will be able to enter the promo code within the Pokemon Go app.

Pokemon GO Fest 2020 is a two-day event taking place across July 25th and July 26th. It is the first GO Fest event that won’t take place in a physical location.
