Summary
- The Item Bag upgrade is a must-buy in the Pokemon GO shop as it provides more space for items, preventing the need to delete items when the player's inventory is full.
- Increasing Pokemon Storage is essential for collectors who want to keep their favorite and rare Pokemon with them, rather than just in the Pokedex.
- Players should consider purchasing Poke Balls when they need more and don't have time to wait for free ones from gifts or PokeStops. They can purchase 20 Poke Balls for 100 PokeCoins, or take advantage of other deals for larger quantities.
The Pokemon Go shop harbors many goodies that players will want to purchase. There are a few advantages that players can find in the Pokemon GO shop that will enhance their playing experience, whether that’s the ability to keep more Pokemon, or simply be able to catch more. After all, the defining factor of Pokemon is to ‘catch them all’, so it’s best to have the space and equipment to do just that.
What may turn some Pokemon fans away from Pokemon GO is the fact that it’s a mobile game with an emphasis on in-app purchases. This means that all items, equipment, and upgrades from the Pokemon GO shop require a purchase of PokeCoins for currency. In buying these coins, it’s best that players know exactly what they are buying, and the best things to buy in Pokemon GO.
6 Item Bag
The game doesn’t give players a lot of space to hold onto items, so it might be essential to spend 200 PokeCoins on the Item Bag upgrade. This can be purchased multiple times, and each time, it will give players a further 50-item space to carry. This means players can hold even more Pokeballs, Potions, and other goodies that will help their adventure to be the very best.
An Item Bag upgrade is truly one of the best things to buy in Pokemon GO because it can enable players more freedom with what they carry. Nothing is more stressful than opening a gift or a PokeStop, only to be told to delete some items as the Trainer’s inventory is full.
5 Pokemon Storage
For 200 PokeCoins, players can get their hands on a Pokemon Storage upgrade. This will increase the maximum number of Pokemon that players can carry by 50 and can be purchased nearly endlessly because there are so many Pokemon in Pokemon GO, with more added almost every month due to the amount of Legendary Pokemon, shiny Pokemon, Pikachu variants, and new Generation.
Pokemon Storage is essential for the collectors out there that want to keep their range of Pokemon on their person, rather than locked in a record of the Pokedex. By having extended Pokemon Storage, players can keep and show off their favorite and rare Pokemon.
4 Poke Balls
It’s impossible to play Pokemon GO without Poke Balls. These iconic items are designed to be thrown at wild Pokemon to catch them. Yet, not every throw is a success. Some players might miss, or the Pokemon might escape the Poke Ball. Therefore, players must purchase themselves some Poke Balls when they are too far away from a PokeStop to get some more.
Buying Poke Balls can cost players 100 PokeCoins for 20, but there are other deals to get more than just 20. Poke Balls are a great purchase when the player needs their Poke Balls and doesn’t have time to wait for gifts to get free ones.
3 Super Incubator
Obtaining an egg in Pokemon GO grants many rewards. Not only is it a good excuse to go for a walk, but it also provides some XP and a unique Pokemon upon the hatching of said egg. However, some eggs take more steps than others, and some offer more unique Pokemon. This is why players should purchase the Super Incubator.
For 200 PokeCoins, players can get their hands on the Super Incubator, which will easily hatch any egg placed inside it within a decent amount of steps. This can also be used 3 times, meaning players won’t just waste it for a single-use item.
2 Remote Raid Pass
A Remote Raid Pass can be purchased for 195 PokeCoins and is great for players who want to join a raid from the safety of their own home. Some players might not feel comfortable in public spaces, so for them, the Remote Raid Pass is a great addition, as it enables them to keep in with using the fun of Raids in Pokemon GO from their home.
Raids can give players some pretty unique Pokemon, and players can join Raids remotely with this version of the Raid Pass, rather than the free orange one that they can get from a Gym once per day. Remote Raid Passes usually cover enough ground for some easy Pokemon wins.
1 Premium Battle Pass
Other than the Remote Raid Pass, players can get their hands on the Premium Battle Pass for 100 PokeCoins. This is perhaps the best bang for the Trainer’s buck, as it’s not too expensive, and it harbors great reward. Players can use the Premium Battle Pass to enter a unique Premium Raid, which could be for an EX Raid or a Legendary Raid which the Remote Raid Pass does not cover.
Alternatively, the Premium Battle Pass can also be used to enter the premium GO battle league, which grants players much more XP and rewards than they would in a normal league, thus making it a worthy addition for those who truly want to show off their skill and collect all Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon GO.
