Niantic has introduced new offers in the shop of Pokémon GO along with the new field research. We will show you what the boxes contain and whether a purchase is worthwhile.
In Pokémon GO, you will now find new special, super, and hyper boxes. The packages always contain multiple shop items. These can be purchased, providing savings compared to buying the individual items.
We will now show you which items are in each box and how much you can save.
We reveal here which field researches you can look forward to in October.
The new offers in Pokémon GO
This is how the calculation was made: To arrive at the savings, it was calculated how much, for instance, a single lucky egg costs in an 8-pack. This price was then compared to the box price. Therefore, the individual price of the item from the shop was not taken.
Special Box
- Contents: 2x Incubator, 2x Lucky Egg, 2x Raid Pass, 1x Lure Module
- Price: 480 Coins
- Savings: 230 Coins (about 32%)
- Who is this box suitable for?: The box is suitable for players who want a bit of everything. Those who mainly want Raid Passes will find it cheaper to buy these individually.
Super Box
- Contents: 3x Super Incubator, 6x Raid Pass, 3x Star Piece, 2x Lure Module
- Price: 780 Coins
- Savings: 777 Coins (about 50%)
- Who is this box suitable for?: This box contains the most important items in the game. None of the items are real “bag fillers” like, for example, incense. The savings are also solid. Those who like to have a bit of everything but still don’t want to spend too much money will be well served by this box.
Hyper Box
- Contents: 8x Incense, 10x Super Incubator, 10x Raid Pass, 8x Star Piece
- Price: 1480 Coins
- Savings: 2520 Coins (63%)
- Who is this box suitable for?: The number of Super Incubators and Raid Passes is average in this box. Unfortunately, the incense makes this box unattractive. If lucky eggs or more Raid Passes were included instead, this box would be a real eye-catcher. Nevertheless, the savings are good, and if you currently have none of these items, you can’t go wrong with the purchase. Those who can wait for other boxes should be patient.
Conclusion of all boxes
The boxes are unfortunately disappointing this month. Of course, there are savings with each box, but one should not forget that shop boxes are not uncommon.
Previous boxes were better: The boxes from the last events were all better. This also gives hope that Niantic will introduce new boxes in the next event that promise better content.
Buying is not wrong: If you’re thinking that you should completely avoid the boxes, you’re wrong. Each box offers a solid discount. The greatest discount, as always, is in the Hyper Box. However, the player has to pay the most for it. If you’re currently lacking items, you should definitely buy a box instead of buying the items individually.
If you have patience, you should wait for better offers that may be coming soon.
