Pokemon Go players earn various items from PokeStops, Gifts, Special Research tasks, and more. While you’ll want to stock up on essentials like Poke Balls, Berries, Incense, and Revives, you must routinely clear out your inventory to make space for new items. Earn more space by increasing your Pokemon Storage and Items Bag with PokeCoins, but only upgrade what you realistically need. 1000 Pokemon storage and 1000 Item slots are often enough for most players. Use your Poke Ball filters to quickly see how many of each ball you have, favouring Great Balls and Ultra Balls over standard Poke Balls.

Stardust management

Stardust is hands-down one of your most critical resources in pokemon go compte. You’ll need massive amounts of Stardust as you power up your strongest Pokemon over time. With limited ways to earn Stardust compared to its costs, developing a Stardust management plan is wise. Start by assessing which Pokemon you want to dedicate Stardust toward raising their CP. Strong counters for Raid Bosses and Rocket Leaders should be the priority, not trophy Pokemon that are cool-looking but ineffective in battle. Use online resources and your local community to determine the top Pokemon for Raids and Rocket Battles. Once you’ve identified your Stardust Pokemon, calculate the total cost of powering them to your desired CP levels. Develop a Stardust budget allocating how much you’ll spend per Pokemon each week/month. Be conservative, as unexpected Stardust costs will always pop up.

Candy & evolving

• Like Stardust, Candy is a bottleneck resource that prevents you from developing your desired teams. To manage your Candy smarter, decide which Pokemon evolutionary lines you want to focus on based on their utility for Raids and Rocket Battles. Evolving Pokemon you’ll never use is a waste of precious Candy.
• For your target Pokemon, catch every version of their evolutionary line to start building Candy reserves. Check sites like TheSilphRoad to see which Pokemon have their evolutions bypassed to reach the final stages faster. Use Pinap Berries when catching Pokemon you want Candy for, and feed your buddy Pokemon that need Candy. Your buddy should always be the ‘Mon you’re trying to get Candy for next.
• When special bonuses allow catching or hatching the same Pokemon for extra Candy, binge on those to boost reserves. Save Rare Candy for only your absolute top priorities. If you’re low on Pokemon storage space, transfer the lowest evolution stages you don’t need any more to recoup Candy.

Remote raid resources

The introduction of Remote Raid Passes is a double-edged sword for Pokemon Go players. On the one hand, they allow you to join Raids from anywhere against powerful bosses. But they also quickly drain your resources like Premium Raid Passes, Remote Raid Passes, and Revives/Potions.

Set a budget for how many Premium Passes you will spend during a given timeframe, using Remote Raid Passes from Special Research and the premium track instead. Coordinate with your local communities and friends to take on as few “solo” raids as possible instead of joining up and sharing the cost. Make sure to factor Revive and Potion restocks into your budget, too. Take advantage of boxes in the shop that bundles Premium Passes with Pass replenishments to get a better overall value.
