Rumor Confirmed: Starbucks Is Teaming Up With Niantic For ‘PokemonGO’ Theme Drinks

Pokemon GO was all about being healthy, now we’re drinking Starbucks!

The last few days have been full of rumors and insider leaks, but the truth come out this morning. Everyones favorite gentrification brand Starbucks is joining forces with Pokemon GO to offer players a brand new drink.

If you frequent the PokemonGO subreddit, then you will be familiar with the recent leaks and rumors spreading around. A few days ago someone leaked internal Starbucks information about the upcoming PokemonGO promotion. Check out the docs below:

Everything looked very official, but there was still some skepticism involved, but it looks like it all was true!

The promotion begins today at 11 AM PST. 7,800 Starbucks stores nationwide (USA USA USA!) will be transformed into Pokestops emblazoned with the new calorific drink as the image.

No other in-game bonuses will be available, other than new Pokestops. Players are prompted to go into the store and order the drink.

Niantic has not put a lifespan on this promotion, so we don’t know when it will end. If this proves to be a popular event, we can expect to see them teaming up with other brands in the future.
