A YouTuber played Pokémon GO for a week without using real money. What he got out of it, you can find out here.
What is it about? The YouTuber MYSTIC7 conducted an experiment and created a video in which he plays Pokémon GO for a week without using real money. This includes both research and bonuses available in the shop, as well as items like incense, incubators, and raid passes that can be exchanged for coins. He also refrains from using Pokémon GO Plus.
During the experiment, he only uses items that he receives as rewards without using real money, such as the PokéCoins that you can earn in gyms or rewards from free limited research.
Multiple Shinies, Hundos, and many experience points are the result
What is his goal? The YouTuber’s goal is to maximize his collection of Shiny Pokémon, Hundos, as well as experience points and stardust.
How does he play in the experiment? To achieve his goal, he utilizes various mechanics of the game. He primarily uses the trading function to obtain lucky Pokémon that have a high IV value and also yield candies. He also benefits from the fact that during his experiment the number of guaranteed lucky trades with old Pokémon has been increased.

The completion of field research as well as participating in the Battle League are also two crucial aspects in which he engages. He emphasizes these two points as very recommendable. In the Battle League, he intentionally loses all battles to save time, as merely participating in the lower ranks is sufficient for rank increase, allowing him to collect stardust.
Furthermore, he participates in showcases and defeats Rocket grunts to further increase the number of items he receives. You can see that he had more opportunities to maximize everything in our checklist for Pokémon GO to receive the most rewards.
What is his yield? At the end of the week, he takes stock of his progress. During this time, he obtained 12 Shiny Pokémon, including a Zekrom. He acquired these Pokémon from the wild, from research, from raids, and through trading with friends. Additionally, he was able to add a total of 3 Hundos to his collection.
In addition, he gained 739,364 experience points and 134,477 stardust during this time.
