In Pokémon GO there is currently a new “Boost Box” with several good items. Notably: The box is being sold for an unusually low amount of coins.
Here is the original article continued.
What kind of box is this? Normally, the boxes in the Pokémon GO shop are not necessarily cheap, which has been criticized in the past. This makes it even more striking when a cheap offer suddenly appears there – and there is currently such a deal in the shop.
Currently, there is a new “Boost Box” for 399 coins. It contains the following items:
- 5 Premium Battle Passes
- 5 Super Incubators
- 1x Pokémon Storage Upgrade
- 1x Item Bag Upgrade
If you calculate the individual prices for these items, you would come to a total of 1900 coins.
- 1 Premium Battle Pass usually costs 100 coins, so 5 would amount to 500
- 1 Super Incubator costs 200 coins, so 5 would be 1000 coins
- An upgrade for Pokémon Storage normally costs 200 coins
- The Item Bag Upgrade also costs 200 coins individually
So you can save about 1500 coins if you purchase the current Boost Box instead of buying the items individually.
You should note: Some trainers report that they only see the box in the shop after they restart their game.
Attention: Currently, the shop is also showing a second “Boost Box” for 399 coins, containing a Super Incubator, 2 Egg Incubators, and a Lucky Egg. These items would normally total 580 coins. Thus, the price is still reasonable, but the other Boost Box is significantly more worthwhile.
Trainers surprised by strong box:
How the box is received: In the Pokémon GO subreddit “TheSilphRoad”, the new boxes are currently being discussed (via reddit).
Trainers are responding positively because Pokémon GO rarely offers strong items at such a reduced coin price.
- “I grabbed the second box as soon as I saw it. The best box I’ve seen in a while,” writes user mutucan (via reddit).
- “I bought the second one as soon as I saw it. I needed both upgrades and the rest is basically free. I’m still unsure about the first one,” says user “sonjya00” (via reddit).
- “The second one made me buy a box for the first time in ages. More of that, please!” (via reddit).
- “Niantic is making a good box? Impossible,” says one user (via reddit).
Some trainers even suspect that the strong box must have been a mistake – especially in comparison to the other Boost Box, which offers the same price but a much weaker deal.
At the same time, the box is also causing frustration for some trainers. Because, currently, trainers who have already maxed out their Pokémon or item storage report that they cannot buy the box.
The upgrades are no longer applicable for them, which is why apparently the whole box is unavailable. These trainers are frustrated that they cannot access the remaining items at the discounted price.
What do you think about the new box? Are you grabbing it, or is it not for you? Let us know in the comments!
Otherwise, a new Community Day for April has just been announced in Pokémon GO.
