PoGO – Pokémon GO: Effectively farm coins – here’s how! (Guide)

In Pokémon GO, trainers can buy various items in the store in exchange for special coins. These, in turn, can be purchased for real money – or, with a little effort, can also be earned in the game. That’s why we’re devoting this guide to the question of how you can collect coins as effectively as possible in a reasonable amount of time, even if you don’t spend several hours with the app every day.

If you’re a trainer in Pokémon GO, you might be familiar with the following situation: We’re out in the wild in good spirits when a wild Pokémon appears in front of us. We click on it, reach into our item bag, and suddenly realize: Crap, we’re out of Pokéballs again. There are two ways to solve this problem.

Either we visit the nearest Pokéstop, which replenishes our supply with a few measly balls, or we simply buy the new balls in the in-game store for a handful of Pokécoins. These, in turn, can be purchased for real money or earned in-game. However, the latter can be quite a challenge, especially for newcomers to Pokémon GO, which is why we decided to explain how to farm Pokécoins in Pokémon GO in more detail, based on an article from Pokemongohub.

To farm Pokécoins in the game, you have only one option: you have to conquer a Poké Arena and place your Pokémon there. The longer your Pokémon holds the arena, the more coins you get – a maximum of fifty coins per day. To get this amount from a single arena, you’ll need to occupy it for a total of eight hours and 20 minutes – you’ll get one Pokécoin for every ten minutes. By the way, you will only receive the coins once you remove your Pokémon from the arena.

In practice, this results in the following calculation: If you actually bag 50 coins every day, you’ll collect 700 in two weeks. This results in these farm times for the various items in the store:

  • Super Incubator: 200 coins = four days of 50 coins per day.
  • Special box: 480 coins = nine days and five hours
  • Superbox: 780 coins = 15 days and five hours
  • Hyperbox: 1480 coins = 29 days and five hours
  • Egg incubator: 150 coins = three days
  • Premium raid pass: 100 coins = two days
  • Six top boars: 180 coins = three days and five hours
  • Lucky egg: 80 coins = one day and five hours
  • Eight lucky eggs: 500 coins = ten days
  • 25 lucky eggs: 1250 coins = 25 days
  • 20 Pokéballs: 100 coins = two days
  • 100 Pokéballs: 460 coins = nine days, one hour and 40 minutes
  • 200 Pokéballs: 800 coins = 16 days
  • Lure module: 100 coins = two days
  • Eight lure modules: 500 coins = ten days
  • Ten top potions: 200 coins = four days
  • Smoke: 80 coins = one day and five hours
  • Eight smoke: 500 coins = ten days
  • 25 Smoke: 1250 coins = 25 days
  • Bag-Plus: 200 coins = four days
  • Pokémon storage-plus: 200 coins = four days

To fully max out item pouch and Pokémon storage and reach the 1,500 limit, you’ll need to purchase 24 upgrades each. Each upgrade gives you 50 additional storage slots, so you’ll need to shell out a total of 4,800 coins per storage type (Item or Pokémon) – which, in turn, will take 96 days if you want to collect those coins through farming alone.

If you want to optimize your overall Pokécoin collection and spending, consider the following :

  • When farming coins, prefer to spend them on Pokéboxes – this is where you’ll get the most value for your effort.
  • If you want to find out how many coins you get from an arena you’ve already taken, do this: Multiply the hours your Pokémon has already spent in the arena by a factor of 60 and add the minutes. Divide the result by ten and round off the corresponding number. Keep in mind the daily limit of 50 coins!
  • If you want to know how many coins you can get in a certain amount of time, take the number of coins you want to collect and divide it by 50. This way you will calculate the number of days you need to collect the desired amount of coins – assuming you always collect 50 coins a day.
  • To maximize the number of coins collected through arenas, place more than one of your Pokémon in an arena. This way, you increase the likelihood that one of your Pokémon will stay in an arena overnight, while the other will return to you with coins already in its pocket. By the way, you can place a maximum of 20 Pokémon in arenas at the same time.
  • You may only place one Pokémon per arena with an account; there are a total of six slots per arena for Pokémon. If an arena you pass is already full, you’re out of luck.
  • Supply your Pokémon with Golden Himmih Berries to help them last longer. To do this, select the Pokémon in your collection that is sitting in an arena, switch to the arena, and then select your Pokémon to feed it with Berries. By the way, the Pokémon will get more WP back when you feed it if you are within range of the arena yourself – the “remote maintenance” will be weaker.
  • Find an arena near you or one that you pass by several times a day. This way, you can recover wounded Pokémon more easily and avoid defeating them too quickly and receiving fewer coins than you planned.

Pokémon GO

Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.

Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights

Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.

Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.

Pokémon Go Updates, News, and More

The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from .gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
