The Niantic birthday box is a free box given to all Pokémon Go players on the day of the game’s birthday, October 6th.

Every year, on October 6th, Niantic celebrate Pokémon Go’s birthday by giving all players a free special box. This box can only be collected between 11:00AM local time to 5:00PM from the in-game shop.

This limited time means it’s quite hard to make sure you get the box in time. But if you did miss the chance for one, don’t worry you can get it next year. Niantic often release either free or special boxes that contain a variety of items.

  • 50 Poké Balls

  • 1 Fast TM
  • 1 Lucky Egg

October Community day box

The upcoming October community day will feature Duskull and also offer a special community day box. During this day, players will be able to catch plenty of Duskull and evolve them into Dusknoirs quite easily. For 1,280 PokeCoins, you can get the community day box which could help in your ghost-hunting.

This is not the official box, but it’s very likely to be.

There will be more boxes in the future, usually they accompany events or the special seasons. Much like the Season of Mischief which features its monthly 1 event coin box. After the Season of Mischief is over, we’ll be coming around the Holiday season. Which will no doubt also feature special boxes. The holiday boxes are usually split up between Bronze, Silver and Gold. And if we go by last year’s trend, we can expect:

Bronze (460 coins):

100×Poké Ball

Lure Module

Silver (980 coins):

Incense

Lucky Egg

Lure Module

Gold (2,480):

50×Great Ball

25×Incense

25×Lucky Egg

16×Lure Module
