As part of the effort to keep the Pokémon GO experience up to date, the Community Ambassador meetup check-in rewards have just been updated. The update, starting on March 15, 2025, involves all the different events in the game. These are for the event meetups hosted by a Community Ambassador via the Campfire app.
Every Trainer who joins an eligible Community Ambassador-hosted meetup via Campfire and then check-in at the location of the event will get an event-themed research. Doing this grants the Trainer access to the Community Ambassador meetup Check-in Rewards. Furthermore, trainers can check in and get cool gifts from their Community Ambassador. The cool gifts are as follows.
- Special swag (e.g., pins, cards with codes) that is shared through the Community Ambassador.
- Promo codes for extra in-game items with a Pokémon GO Web Store purchase.
- Thematic Timed Research with different in-game rewards based on the type of event.
Please note that the first two are periodic. Meaning you may not always get them from your Community Ambassador.
Community Ambassador Meetup Check-in Rewards Update
The following are the Timed Research tasks with different in-game rewards based on the type of event you are attending. Please remember that you will have to check in to get the research. You also need to complete it within a stipulated time frame to get the rewards. Most importantly, after checking into the Community Ambassador Meetup via the Niantic Campfire App, you will need to claim the 500 XP reward on the game’s EVENT tab before you can access the other Timed Research tasks.
Most recent update: Some of these Timed Research now reward 100 Link Charges after completion.
Also, during the Road of Legends Week and Global GO Fest 2026, the Raid Hour Timed Research will not have 100 link charges. Likewise, the check-in rewards for the GO Fest weekend will be 3 costumed Pikachu.
