In Pokémon GO there is another strong, free reward. To receive it, you need to be active in the coming days.
A few weeks ago there was a major level update in Pokémon GO, in which the maximum level was raised from 50 to 80. As part of the update, trainers received hundreds of items that could lead to curious problems.
Niantic responded last week and gave away item bags depending on your level. Now there is another gift from Niantic. You just have to collect it in time.
More bags – if you don’t miss them
What is this gift? You can collect 4 upgrades for your item bag in the game. Since each bag has a capacity of 50 items, you can permanently increase your item capacity by a whopping 200 items through this gift.
How do I receive the upgrades? To receive the upgrades for the item bag, you need to collect them in the game. You have 21 days to do so, until November 30, 11:59 pm. If you do not collect them by then, they will disappear, and you will probably have no chance to receive the upgrades for free anymore.
To collect the upgrades, you need to open the in-game shop of Pokémon GO. Scroll down until you find the ‘Upgrades’ section. Next to the paid upgrades that you can purchase here for PokéCoins, you will also find an upgrade called ‘free box’.
Click on it and then click on ‘Redeem’. Once you have done that, you have successfully obtained the upgrades and can look forward to 200 more items that will fit in your item bag.
How long does the upgrade last? If you redeem the upgrade within the timeframe, you can benefit from it permanently. Upgrades for your item bag, your Pokémon box, or the postcards are generally permanent.
With the increased item capacity, you are well prepared to dive into the next event in Pokémon GO. And there will be several, as always, in the near future. You can find out which ones are happening in our overview of all events in November 2025 in Pokémon GO.
