Philanthropist Points

PP (Philanthropist Points) is obtained when you donate to the altar, use a blessing, using a Portable PC, use honey or drop an item bomb. You can spend the PP you get on the ground floor of Silph Co, just talk to the PP Npc in the left top corner. (see Prizes tab for more info on what you can buy)

Blessings
World Blessing and Drop Rate Blessing each give, when activated, up to 500 PP per blessing. This equals to how many people are online at the time. If you use the blessing when 350 people are online, you would get 350 PP but if 650 was online, you would get 500 since the cap is 500. Click the trainer head symbol at the bottom left of your screen, then click "Online" and up the top says how many people are online.

Note: Christmas and Halloween blessings are no longer usable, they can however be crafted into a World Blessing.

World Blessings are stack-able up to a maximum of x2 (+100%) experience. The first World Blessing used will give x1.2 (+20%) experience, every additional World Blessing will add x0.1 (+10%) experience. Therefore for every hour a maximum of 9 world blessing can be used among all players. Player cannot use a blessing when rate reaches x2.

Other methods
Item Bombs give 1200PP base plus how ever many people are online. For example, if 350 people was online, you would get 1550PP.

Enhanced item bombs give 5000 plus twice the users online PP. For example, if 350 people was online, you would get 5700PP.

Donating to the altar gives you 1PP per $800 you use. Alternatively you can donate using credits. The credit to money ratio for the Legendary Altar is 1/2,000. Therefore donating 2 credits is equivalent to $4000 which gives 5PP, or 2.5PP per credit.

Placing a Portable PC gives 200PP.

Using honey gives 700PP.
