Can You Buy Pokemon in Pokemon GO? Let’s Find Out!
Last updated
Ever wondered if you can just buy your favorite Pokemon in Pokemon GO instead of wandering around? Today, we’re diving straight into this popular query.
So, can you actually buy Pokemon in Pokemon GO? Let’s break it down and give you the scoop!
Short Answer: No, You Can’t Buy Pokemon
Unfortunately, you can’t buy Pokemon directly in Pokemon GO. The core adventure of this game involves walking around in the real world, using your phone’s GPS to catch these adorable creatures by throwing Poke Balls at them on your screen.
The game is all about exploring, having fun outdoors, and capturing Pokemon in the wild. It also includes battling with other trainers, joining teams, and participating in raids to catch more powerful Pokemon.
But What About PokeCoins?
While you can’t buy Pokemon, the game does have its own currency called PokeCoins. These coins can help you purchase items like extra Poke Balls, lures to attract Pokemon, or incubators for hatching eggs. However, these items only aid in your journey to find and catch Pokemon. They don’t allow you to directly purchase any Pokemon.
PokeCoins can be earned by defending Gyms in the game or through in-app purchases. Yet, the thrill of Pokemon GO comes from discovering and catching Pokemon in your surroundings, just as adventurers do!
