Limited-Time Missions
You can get Dream Coins by completing limited-time missions.
Research Community
- In rare cases, you can get Dream Coins from other researchers in your Research Community who are also participating in the event.

Event Exchange
You can exchange Dream Coins for the following items:

And more!
Also, a few Poké Biscuits and Handy Candies S will be added at a slightly lower exchange rate during the second week of the event. Keep an eye out for these during the last stretch!
Limited Time Candy Cram-o-matic
Only during the second week of the event, you can use the Candy Cram-o-matic from the home screen.
If you spend Dream Shards and feed 40 of your Pokémon Candies to the Candy Cram-o-matic, you’ll get one M-sized candy of a random type.
On rare occasions, you’ll get a Great Success when you use the Candy Cram-o-matic. When you get a Great Success, you’ll receive two M-sized candies.
Also, depending on the type of Pokémon Candies you feed the Candy Cram-o-matic, certain types of Pokémon Candies are more likely to come out.
Candy Cram-o-matic Use Examples:
- Feed it 40 Bulbasaur Candies (Grass-type) → The candy that comes out is slightly more likely to be a Grass-Type Candy M.
- Feed it 30 Bulbasaur Candies (Grass-type) and 10 Pikachu Candies (Electric-type) → The candy that comes out is slightly more likely to be a Grass-type Candy M and very slightly more likely to be an Electric-Type Candy M.
Notes: This function can be used up to four times per day. Each time this function is used, it will consume more Dream Shards than the previous time.
The number of times you can use the Candy Cram-o-matic and the number of Dream Shards it consumes will reset each day.
