The Pokemon franchise has many titles under its belt and one of them is Pokemon Unite. A game that answers the question: What would happen if a 5v5 MOBA match was played with Pokemon characters? You too might be playing this game on your mobile device or the Nintendo Switch and have noticed that the Gift Exchange is not working as intended. With only one code to redeem per account, not being able to do so can be quite frustrating. Well, let’s see if there is any fix yet for this issue.
Speaking about the issue, players have reported an irregularity in Pokemon Unite, particularly with the gift exchange button. In simple words, the button is greyed out after entering the code and is simply not working for players. This is not the first time this issue has cropped up, causing frustration among the community. So, is there a fix that has surfaced? Let’s find out.
Pokemon Unite Gift Exchange Not Working: How to fix it
Currently, there is no official or sure-shot fix for this issue. Instead, what we do have are several workarounds, suggested by affected players, which might help you fix the problem. So, make sure to give them a try.
Basic Steps
Sometimes, simply restarting the game can resolve minor glitches and bugs. If this doesn’t work, try restarting your device entirely. If you are lucky, this simple workaround will do the trick for you. If not, go ahead and try the workarounds given below.
Internet and VPN
Check and make sure that you have a stable internet connection. So, if your connection is not reliable at the moment, switch to a different network or reset your router. Additionally, using a VPN has been suggested by many as a workaround to fix the issue. This workaround has worked for the majority of players to bypass network restrictions or issues that might be causing the problem. You might have to switch between multiple locations so try it out a couple of times!
Check Mail
Check your in-game mail/inventory and see if you have already received the gifts. You may have already received the gifts, but the notification or button hasn’t been updated correctly. Check your in-game mail or inventory to see if the items have already been credited to your account.
Check the Codes
You know the codes you collect can be expired, right? Well, if you didn’t, double-check if it has expired or not. Needless to say, the expired codes will not work. What you can do is find the latest codes and then try redeeming them.
Check the Game for Updates
It is possible that the developers have released or will release patch updates to fix this bug. So, visit the Google Play Store or Apple App Store to check if an update is available. If an update is pending, make sure to download it ASAP!
Reinstall the Game
Finally, if none of the above workarounds are of help, reinstalling the game might be all you need to fix the issue. Uninstall Pokemon Unite from your device, then download and install it again. Doing so might get rid of this problem.
