PokéCoins' prices
Bellow there is chart of PokéCoins packages available to be purchased with real money in several currencies.
Trivia
- Before bigger update of Gym system on Juny 20th, 2017 the Defender Bonus was working differently. There was a button in the top-right corner of the Shop page, that player could use once for 24 hours to acquire Defender Bonus reward.
- Players on level 4 or lower cannot buy Premium Raid Pass from shop what changes a bit layout of the shop page, as in Items section instead of 3 columns with items, there are two.
- Also because of that, such players doesn't see special offer boxes in the shop, if they're containing Premium Raid Passes.
