I tapped a notification and froze: a tiny circular badge had appeared in my replies, stamped with a Pokemon I didn’t expect. For a second the timeline felt like a vending machine that just spat out something rare. You can feel the clock: these free drops do not linger.
I’m writing from the front lines so you don’t miss your turn. I’ll walk you through the exact post, the short steps that work, and the few tricks that tilt probability in your favor. You’ll know what to do the moment Poke Times posts again on X.
At my desk the first thing I check is the original post — here’s the step-by-step you need
The Pokemon Company’s Japanese X account, @poke_times, is handing out a free 30th Anniversary logo that includes a randomly generated Pokemon from the current pool of 1,025 entries.
How do I get a Pokemon 30th Anniversary logo?
Go to the Poke Times post on X, open the quoted image, and repost it from your account with the shown hashtags and the account mention. Within moments you should receive an automated reply containing your custom anniversary logo. The campaign runs from Monday, February 23, 2026, to Monday, March 9, 2026, so act while it’s live.
- Open the Poke Times X post.
- Click the image in the quoted tweet so the post composer fills with the required tags and mention.
- Post it to your X timeline exactly as prompted.
- Watch your notifications for the reply — that’s the logo.
- Feel free to share the logo on your feed afterward.
On my phone I keep notifications open — quick troubleshooting and common snags
Sometimes the reply lands in the wrong tab or gets swallowed by filters; the fix is usually simple.
Where does the campaign take place?
The giveaway is run from the official Japanese X account of the Pokemon Company, @poke_times. You must repost the quoted image on X to trigger the automated reply.
If you don’t see a reply:
- Check X’s Replies, Mentions, and Notifications tabs.
- Confirm the repost included the hashtags and the account mention exactly as shown.
- Try again after a short wait if the system is busy; high-volume minutes happen when official tweets go live.
In a crowded feed you need a small plan — what to expect and how to play the odds
People are posting the same prompt in waves; timing shifts the experience more than luck does.
You can participate multiple times during the 15-day window, but leave reasonable gaps between attempts so the system processes each request. The mechanism is blind: the logo you receive is generated at random from the 1,025 Pokemon available today. It feels like pulling a card from a sealed deck.
Quick tips that increase your odds of a clean reply:
- Post during off-peak hours for your time zone to avoid delay.
- Keep your account public while running the repost so automated replies can reach you.
- Do not change the hashtags or the account mention — automated systems look for exact matches.
I watch livestreams and feeds — what this tie-in means for Pokemon Presents and future drops
When Pokemon Presents airs, surprise announcements and short promotions tend to follow; this logo drop is one such ripple.
The Pokemon Company and X are testing viral moments that drive engagement back into the official stream and storefront. Expect similar micro-campaigns tied to Pokemon Presents 2026 announcements — more quick-hit collectibles, timed codes, or themed artwork.
It’s a small, lucky find, like a rare coin in your pocket.
Can I participate multiple times?
Yes. Multiple entries are allowed during the campaign period, but leave gaps between posts so the service has time to respond to each attempt. Reposting too quickly may trigger rate limits or failed replies.
If you want to protect the art you receive, save the reply image and check X’s terms for profile or display use. The logo is a fun, shareable asset from the Pokemon Company — share it, tag friends, and treat it like a collectible badge.
Which Pokemon did you get — the ordinary catch or the one that makes people stop scrolling?
