[Must Read] How to Get Coins in Pokémon GO (2024)

Are you new to Pokémon GO and don't know how to get coins? Then, it would be best if you read this article keenly to the end.

This guide will cover all the different ways you can get coins in Pokémon GO, from completing challenges and tasks to participating in events. I will also give you tips on making the most of your coins once you've earned them. So if you're ready to start earning, let's get started!

Basic Information about PokeCoins

PokeCoins is the in-game currency of the Pokémon augmented reality game by Niantic. You can purchase difficult or impossible goods to get through normal gameplay with them.

To get PokeCoins, you can buy them with real-world money or earn them by playing the game.

Defending a Gym to Get the Pokecoins Free

Defending a gym will net you one PokeCoin every 10 minutes, up to 50 coins per day. That's a pretty sweet deal, especially if you have multiple Pokémon defending different gyms.

The catch is that you only get paid after your Pokémon is knocked out of the Gym. So, even if you have two Pokémon knocked out of a gym on the same day and they've been in their respective gyms for more than eight hours, you'll only get 50 coins.

Nonetheless, it's a great way to earn some extra PokeCoins without spending any real money.

Steps to Get Free Pokecoins

1. Find a gym that is the same color as your team in your area.
2. You can fight the Pokémon in a gym that isn't your team's color to take it over.
3. Place a Pokémon inside a gym that matches your team's color.
4. When your Pokémon is defeated, you will receive Pokecoins automatically.
5. Save your money and go shopping for your selected goods.

Which Pokémon Should You Leave?

Blissey is the best defender because of its ability to tank damage. Although not everyone has a hefty Blissey to assist them in defending their Gym against the red and yellow hordes, any high-CP Pokémon should suffice.

The Pokémon you leave as a defender can significantly impact how many coins you earn. If you leave something small, like a Weedle or Rattata, they'll be kicked out of the Gym in no time. You have a better chance of crossing the 10-minute mark and earning at least one coin if you leave anything bulky.

In addition, you'll be better off leaving a different type of defender than what's already in the Gym. The goal is to take up time and slow down other players.

Tips

• It's better to spread your Pokémons out over several days. Because the most Pokecoins you can earn in a single day is 50, no matter how many Pokémon you leave in Gyms.
• Navigate to Settings > Push Notifications and tap the circle next to Pokémon's Return to receive a push notification every time one of your Pokémon returns from a Gym.

Get PokeCoins Via Cash

If all else fails, you can buy PokeCoins with real money in bundles through the in-game shop. How much you get depends on how many PokeCoins you buy and which bundle you purchase. The higher the number of coins, the more value for your dollar. Be sure to check out all the different bundles before making any purchases.
