Pokemon Go trainers often face problems with a lack of space in their inventory. And it makes sense because, in the game, it is necessary to carry quite a few items for different scenarios. In this guide, players will learn how to increase inventory space in Pokemon Go, as well as what is the maximum inventory size.

How to Increase Inventory Space in Pokemon Go

Initially, players can carry only 350 items with them. In the early stages of the game, this is enough, but after a few weeks of active gameplay, space can run out. Fans would rather not say goodbye to their Lures, Incenses, and Pokeballs and start thinking about increasing their inventory space.

To increase the capacity of the inventory in Pokemon Go, players need to buy a storage upgrade that costs 200 Pokecoins. When fans have the required amount, they need to do the following:

Open the main menu using the button with the Pokeball icon.
Go to the store.
Scroll down the store to the Upgrades tab.
Select the upgrade called Item Bag.
Press the exchange button to buy it for 200 Pokecoins.

Item Bag Upgrade increases the amount of inventory by 50 units.

Developers have limited the maximum size of the inventory. The maximum bag size is 3,500 items, which is quite a lot. To reach this amount, players will need to buy the Item Bag Upgrade 63 times and spend 12,600 Pokecoins. Although this is a fairly large sum, it is not necessary to do it all at once. Instead, players should increase their inventory step by step.

Inventory management plays an essential role in Pokemon Go. To properly manage inventory, it is important to consider the play style fans prefer. For example, if fans like to battle, they should allocate a third of their inventory to Potions and Revives. Players can use another third for Pokeballs and Berries, and the rest of the space for other items.

Don't be afraid to discard items. If players don’t have enough space in their inventory, but they have a lot of different Pokeballs, they can discard a few to make room for more important items.
