Where to get special items in Pokémon GO
Special items can be obtained in different ways; Below we detail the best methods to get these objects during our adventure.
- Visiting PokeStops | The first method that will provide us with special objects in Pokémon GO is by visiting the popular Pokéstops, one of the most recurring elements for Pokémon trainers who walk the streets of their town. And while we play looking for Pokémon on our streets we will come across numerous PokéStops, usually located in key places in towns such as monuments, emblematic buildings, parks, shops and more. To do this, we just have to go to one of the many PokéStops that we will usually visit in Pokémon GO and turn the disc; At that time we will receive a certain number of objects, usually the most common ones, although on a very small percentage of the occasions in which we visit a PokéStop we can also receive one of these special objects.
- Clashes with other coaches | Battles against other Pokémon GO trainers are one of the best ways to get special items; And we can fight against other trainers either through the app's online game, that is, against another player, or against players controlled by the game or NPC (non-playable character). Thus, we can receive rewards in the form of special random items up to three times a day against other online players and up to once a day against NPC trainers.
- Weekly rewards | Another method to get special items in Pokémon GO is through the so-called weekly rewards, actions that we can complete by regularly playing the app, such as turning the dial on one PokéStop a day for seven days in a row. Thanks to these weekly rewards we can receive some of these special items, but only one per week.
- Completing missions | On many occasions there are missions to complete such as walking a certain number of kilometers, fighting in a certain number of gyms or more. If we manage to complete this type of missions we will receive rewards, including special items.
- receiving gifts | A good method to receive special objects is through gifts between players, gifts that we can give to each other in Pokémon GO among several players of the app. So if you offer a gift to another player, they may return the favor with another gift with special items included.
- Completing research tasks | In this case, the only method to obtain certain special items such as the Unova Stone is by completing the so-called research tasks. It is a series of missions that we can complete in up to seven steps, meeting the requirements that it asks of us. This way we can obtain special objects such as unique Evolutionary Stones and other more common rewards such as Pokéballs or rare candies.
- Buying in the virtual store | It is also possible to obtain special objects by purchasing in the Pokémon GO virtual store, paying with real money through micropayments, giving us the possibility of obtaining objects such as Glacial, Magnetic Lures or Mossy, among others.
