Sometimes, Pokémon Go likes to make quests or items available on Twitch Drops for those who watch a few games or take part in a Pokémon World Championships.
Redeeming those codes, however, and gaining access to them, is far more convoluted than it has any right to be. You not only need to sign up on Twitch, but you also need to link and create multiple accounts to finally get your items.
It all seems a bit over the top, and I keep seeing a bunch of people wondering what to do. I thought I'd create a quick guide, complete with links to places to go, to simplify the process for everyone.
So if you want to earn Pokémon Go Twitch Drops, here are the steps you need to follow:
- Log in to your Twitch account.
- Link your Pokémon Trainer Club account to your Twitch account on the Pokémon Twitch Rewards page.
- After connecting, watch the Pokémon Go Twitch channel do whatever you need to do to unlock your drops. If you need to watch a stream, for example, you can’t mute the stream. And if you tab out, the timer will pause, forcing you to watch the event in some form instead of having it in the background.
- After hitting your quota, you should get a code in your Twitch inventory.
- Claim your Drop code from the Twitch Drops Inventory page.
- Redeem the code on the Pokémon Go official website.
- Open up Pokémon Go to see if the items or quests have appeared on your account.
It's pretty messy overall, but hopefully this helps you complete any tasks you need to do to get your free in-game items or research tasks. Don't be discouraged if you didn't understand what to do prior. It is all pretty confusing.
Most Pokémon Go Twitch Drops revolve around the World Championship, so if you are here during those times, hope you enjoy the games and all the announcements going on during that weekend!
