Pokemon Go places a big focus on community activities, so if you’re looking for new ways to make a buddy or two, we’ve got tips for finding new friends as well as some active friend codes you can add.

How to make new friends

One way to make new friends in Pokemon Go is to visit a dedicated subreddit like r/PokemonGoFriends. Here, you’ll be able to find plenty of working Friend Codes and share your own with other Trainers.

There are also subreddits for specific activities, such as r/PokemonGoRaids which allows you to find Friend Codes specifically for Raids. Be aware that Trainers will often remove you once a Raid is over. It’s not personal!

Always use caution when adding Friends in Pokemon Go. Make sure you don’t have any personal information in your username or profile and avoid sharing Gifts with people you don’t know.
