How to Get More Pokeballs in Pokemon GO

So you’re afraid that you’re going to run dry when it comes to your Pokeball stash in Pokemon GO? Well, with our advice here, you’re never going to have to worry about your stocks reaching ground zero.

There’s one main way for you to pick up Pokeballs, of course, which is likely the most straightforward – you just have to buy Pokeballs from the in-game store. They’re 100 Pokecoins for 20 Pokeballs, which isn’t exactly the most bang for your buck, but hey. They’re not unaffordable in terms of how you can pick up in-game currency.

Another way to get Pokeballs is to spin Pokestops. This is pretty simple and a great way to just ensure that you’re picking up some extra balls per pop, so long as you’re living in a pretty densely populated, metropolitan area.

You can also get Pokeballs as gifts from friends, and also from just leveling up by completing objectives in the game, so we would definitely recommend that you either purchase them for now or just keep grinding within your capabilities until we’re all free to visit as many Pokestops as necessary after self-isolation.

Now that you have our guide on how to get more Pokeballs in Pokemon GO, it should be easy enough for you to always ensure that you’ve got one on hand for whatever critter might pop by. The worst thing would be for you to run into a Shiny only to realize that you’re totally empty when it comes to your ball arsenal.
