Pokecoins are extremely rare commodities in Pokemon Go. They can be used to buy a variety of things. They also represent the in-game currency that you buy with real money. There is at least one other way to earn Pokecoins and we’ll show you how to do it. Please note, virtually any other way not described here is either a scam or cheating.Check out our beginner’s guide on how to play Pokemon Go!Find the latest Pokemon Go news here!
How to get Pokecoins – Method 1 – Buy themThe first and most obvious way to get Pokecoins is to buy them. You can access this option in the Shop below all of the other things that you can buy with coins. Here are the prices:$0.99 – 100 coins$4.99 – 550 coins$9.99 – 1200 coins$19.99 – 2500 coins$39.99 – 5200 coins$99.99 – 14500 coinsThis is a fairly standard pricing structure for Freemium games in general and Pokemon Go is no different.
How to get Pokecoins – Method 2 – Taking GymsThe only way in-game to earn Pokecoins is by taking down and fortifying Gyms. Here’s how this method works:Find a Gym and either take it down or fortify it so you can put your Pokemon there. If you don’t know how to do this, check out our awesome Gym capturing and fortifying guide here!Once every 21 hours, you’ll be able to go into the Shop and “cash in”. You will get a commensurate number of Pokecoins based on how many Pokemon you have on a Gym.The button to grab it is in the top right corner of the Shop. Please note, there isn’t a confirmation screen. Once you press it, that’s it for 21 hours. You cannot press the button when you have zero gyms.You get 10 coins and 500 Stardust for every Pokemon you have on a Gym. If you have five Pokemon on five Gyms, you’ll earn 50 coins and 2500 Stardust.You can have an infinite number of Pokemon on an infinite number of Pokemon Gyms. However, the “cash in” maxes out at 10.Because of this, you can earn up to 100 Pokecoins and 5000 Stardust every 21 hours!Of course, this means you’ll have to be rather aggressive when it comes to taking down Gyms and fortifying them because others will be trying to get them as well. This will likely require tons of Potions so stock up!
