A “cool” gift from a Pokémon Go player to their soul mate
A Pokémon Go player shared his creation for one of the gifts he gave his partner.
In Pokémon Go, gifts with friends are used to encourage players to interact with each other. Gifts in Pokémon Go can be sent and received by people on their friends list, allowing players to share items and stickers with each other.

This means that the gift will likely be given out near Pokémon Go’s upcoming Wattouat Community Day, when players will have a higher than usual chance of picking up a shiny piece. So the lucky Pokémon Go player will also encounter more Wattouats in real life.
