How To Get Different Items

You can get PokéBalls, eggs, potions, revives, and razz berries from PokéStops.

Incense, lucky eggs, lure modules, and egg incubators will be available to you as you level up, but these "premium" items can also be purchased in the shop.

Here's a quick description of a few common items:

  • Bag: Your bag is where you keep all of your non-Pokémon items, like Poké Balls and the like. Your bag can hold up to 350 items to start, and you can buy a Bag Upgrade from the shop, which increases your capacity by 50 items at a time.
  • Poké Ball: Used for catching Pokémon. Just toss these at Pokémon you meet in the wild.
  • Egg: These contain Pokémon. You will need to put an egg in an incubator and walk a certain distance (each egg will tell you how long you'll need to walk) for it to hatch. You will also receive Stardust and Candies upon hatching.
  • Potion: Restore 20 Hit Points (HP) to Pokémon injured in gym battles. Will only work if Pokémon have not fainted.
  • Super Potion: Restore 50HP to Pokémon injured in gym battles. Will only work if Pokémon have not fainted.
  • Revive: Revives a fainted Pokémon and restores half of its HP.
  • Great Ball: Unlocks at level 12. Used for catching Pokémon. These special balls have a higher rate of capture, so you should use them on hard-to-get Pokémon.
  • Ultra Ball: Unlocks at level 20. Used for catching Pokémon. Has a higher rate of capture than a Great Ball.
  • Master Ball: Unlocks at a higher (currently unknown) level. Captures Pokémon every time.
  • Incense: Attracts Pokémon to your location for 30 minutes. Works best if you are moving.
  • Lucky Egg: Doubles your XP for 30 minutes. To rack up XP quickly, use a Lucky Egg in an area where you are likely to meet a lot of Pokémon (near a lure module or while using incense), or right before you are about to evolve several Pokémon (evolving nets you 500XP).
  • Lure Module: Can be pinned to a PokéStop to attract Pokémon to that location for 30 minutes. Works for everyone near the PokéStop.
  • Incubators: Can be used to incubate and hatch eggs. You can use multiple incubators at once to incubate and hatch multiple eggs.This section covers all the different items in the game and how to get them.
