It's every Pokemon Go player's nightmare when, finally, you find a rare Pokemon in a remote area of town, only to discover that you've run out of Pokeballs. Pokeball is one of the most important items in Pokemon Go, and if you're serious about 'catching them all,' you'd better make sure you always have plenty of Pokeballs.
Standard Pokeballs are quite common, and as you progress through levels, you'll unlock additional types like Great Balls, Master Balls, and Ultra Balls. This article will share a brief guide on how you can find them.
I. How to Obtain Various Pokeballs in Pokemon Go
You'll start the game with standard Poke Balls, and stronger Pokemon-catching balls will be unlocked later. Here are the level limits for each Pokeball tier:
These Pokeball types automatically unlock when you reach the appropriate level, requiring no further action.
II. How to Obtain Pokeballs in Pokemon Go?
Acquiring different types of Pokeballs is actually quite simple, and you can obtain them through various methods, such as:
- They drop most frequently at Pokestops. The chance of receiving higher-tier Pokeballs is slightly lower than standard Pokeballs, but they appear consistently. You'll get at least one Pokeball each time you spin the stop.
- You can purchase Pokeballs from the in-game shop using PokeCoins. You'll get 20 Pokeballs for 100 coins, 100 Pokeballs for 460 coins, and 200 Pokeballs for 800 coins. Remember, you can't buy Great Balls, Ultra Balls, or Master Balls this way.
III. Tips for Using Pokeballs in Pokemon Go
Here are some tips to maximize the potential of your Pokeballs:
- Using Razz Berries can help you catch Pokémon with fewer throws, expanding your inventory and conserving balls.
- There's evidence that throwing curved or well/timed/excellent throws can increase your catch rate. This could also expand your inventory by helping you catch Pokémon faster. You should try using these throwing techniques. At worst, you'll earn extra XP.
- In most cities, areas like parks tend to have more Pokestops closer together than the average. Check out these locations if you're low on items. These havens can rapidly boost your Pokémon count. Famous parks also attract players using Lures to attract Pokémon that you can seize the opportunity to catch.
- Ensure you use the right type of ball for the appropriate scenario. Pokeballs are only effective for catching Pokémon of certain CP levels. If you're aiming to catch Pokémon over 1,000 CP, use Razz Berries and Ultra Balls. Similarly, don't waste Ultra Balls on Pokémon with extremely low CP.
- Master Balls are an invaluable and rare resource. Save them for the toughest, rarest, and most coveted Pokémon.
Most of the tips above revolve around managing and using items effectively. You can earn plenty of Pokeballs by simply walking around Pokestops all day, but a good strategy on how to use these Pokémon-catching balls efficiently is as valuable as figuring out how to get them.
