Pokemon GO Web Store
The Pokemon GO Web Store is Niantic's official browser shop at store.pokemongo.com - the only place to redeem promo codes, and during big events like GO Wild Area it carries exclusive item bundles you won't find in the in-app shop.

Wild Area weekend: Safari Ball bundles
During GO Wild Area (November 14-15, 10am-6pm local) the Web Store is the direct route to stock up on GO Safari Balls - the special catch balls built for mighty Pokemon. Free players can spin them from PokeStops and Gyms, but heavy hunting burns through a stack fast, and the web bundles are where players top up mid-event. Remember: GO Safari Balls only work during event hours and disappear when the event ends.
Is the Web Store legit?
Yes - it's run by Niantic itself. The address is store.pokemongo.com, reached from the official Pokemon GO site and the game's own news posts. Avoid lookalike domains: type the address directly or follow the link from inside the app's news tab.
FAQ
Where do I enter Pokemon GO promo codes?
On the Web Store at store.pokemongo.com/offer-redemption. The in-app code box is gone - the web page is the only redemption route.
Do Web Store purchases work on both iOS and Android?
Yes - items are tied to your game account, not your phone's app store, so a purchase syncs wherever you log in.
Is the Web Store cheaper than the in-game shop?
Generally yes on comparable bundles, and some event boxes are web-exclusive - worth checking before buying in-app.
