Niantic announces new Pokémon GO collaboration with McDonald’s: All McDonald’s restaurants in Canada are becoming PokéStops starting today and some will become Gyms later this month

Trainers,

We’re excited to announce that Pokémon GO and McDonald’s Canada are collaborating to bring even more PokéStops to Trainers in Canada! You’re just a few steps away from lovin’ it!

This month, Trainers throughout Canada will be able to interact with Sponsored PokéStops when they visit a McDonald’s restaurant. Now you can enjoy a delicious meal with your friends and catch new Pokémon at the same time! Upon visiting these locations and spinning the Photo Discs at these sponsored locations, Trainers can also pick up sponsored Field Research tasks that award Stardust—or even Rare Candy!

We’re excited to partner with McDonald’s™ in Canada for the first time, and we hope you enjoy these perks! Keep an eye out for future announcements and other special promotions with McDonald’s™ in Canada.
