Details
The gift lineup is the same for all researchers. Each day, the contents of the Dream Gift will be chosen randomly from the lineup.
That means that all researchers who log in on all applicable days will get the same rewards by the end.
If you don’t accept a Dream Gift from the home screen after logging in, it will be sent to your Gift Box (from the home screen, go to the Main Menu then tap the gift box icon on the upper right).
You can’t receive Dream Gifts in the following cases. (They won’t be sent to your Gift Box.)
• For days when you didn’t log in.

You can freely toggle this function ON or OFF by tapping the button in the upper right of the Level Up screen. Feel free to use Candy Boost when you want to level up your helper Pokémon!
