Pokemon Go is one of those games that needs no introduction. It launched on July 6th, and since then, this augmented reality mobile game has taken the world by storm. Players addicted to the game have taken it to another level of competition, using drones and different hacking methods to collect characters and speed up their progress in the game.
Like all free-to-play games, Pokemon Go, which is free to download and play, needs to pay the bills, and the way they do this is through in-app purchases. They use different premium elements to tempt you to spend real money to speed up your progress in the game.
One of those temptations of Pokemon Go is Pokecoins. They're the premium currency that you can use to buy Egg Incubators, Lucky Eggs, Lure Modules, Bag Upgrades , and more. They also represent the in-game currency that you've purchased with real money. Most of the time, if you want PokeCoins, you'll have to pay for them, and they can really speed things up for you.
While there are no cheats that will actually make you get more Pokemon coins, you can try this hack to get free Pokecoins. This is perhaps the most popular way to get some Pokemon Go coins without investing any real-life money, is by defeating Pokemon gyms. You will need to be above level 5 to take advantage of this, as it requires you to have one of Pokemon defending a gym that your team controls.
Below we are going to see how this method works:
- Find a gym, capture it, or strengthen it so you can put your Pokemon there.
- You can go to the “Shop” window once every 21 hours and “cash in.” Based on how many Pokemon you have in a gym, you will receive an equal number of Pokecoins.
- The button to collect them is located in the upper right corner of your “Shop” window. Please note that there is no confirmation screen. It is for 21 hours from the time you press it. You cannot press the button if you have zero gyms.
- For each Pokemon you have in a gym, you can get 10 coins and 500 Stardust. If you have five Pokemon in five gyms, you'll earn 50 coins and 2500 Stardust.
- You can have an infinite number of Pokemon in Pokemon gyms. However, the redemption is capped at 10.
- This means you can earn up to 100 Pokecoins and 5000 Stardust every 21 hours.
Don't forget that Pokecoins are a valuable resource and are rare and very expensive. Therefore, make sure you choose to spend them wisely!
