Niantic has officially confirmed that friends, gifting and trading Pokémon are coming soon to Pokémon GO. When you spin a Photo Disc at a PokéStop or Gym, you have a chance of receiving a special Gift. Although you can’t open the Gifts you receive from PokéStops, you can send them to a friend on your Friend List. Inside the Gift will be a stash of helpful items, which your friend will receive along with a postcard showing where you picked up your Gift. Gifts can also include a special surprise – an Egg that, when hatched, will contain an Alolan form of a Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region.
