Highlights

  • Activate the Daily Incense Adventure to get 30 free Poke Balls and catch more Pokemon in Pokemon GO.
  • Different types of Poke Balls have varying odds of catching Pokemon, with the Master Ball being the best for rare monsters.
  • Some players have a large supply of Poke Balls, but for those who are low on them, the Daily Incense Adventure offers a helpful solution.

A Pokemon GO player has shared a useful tip for getting free Poke Balls, which is to activate the Daily Incense Adventure. Every day, Pokemon GO players find Pokemon available in the wild or via events held by Niantic. To expand their Pokedex record, Pokemon GO players have access to different Poke Ball types that help catch everything from the weakest to the rarest Pokemon.

Pokemon GO currently has the regular Poke Ball, the Great, Ultra, Premier, and Master Ball. Like the main series of Pokemon games, the Poke Balls in Pokemon GO have different odds of catching a Pokemon. The regular Poke Ball has the lowest odds, while the Master Ball is the best Pokemon GO ball for catching rare monsters. With so many Pokemon appearing in Pokemon GO, it's not hard for a player to find themselves low on Poke Balls. With this in mind, one player shared a tip that impressed the Pokemon GO community.

Pokemon GO Accidentally Adds Legendary Pokemon as Reward

Pokemon GO players claim their rewards after battling, and to their surprise, discover an unreleased Legendary Pokemon among them.

Reddit user Ivi-Tora shared a golden tip for players with few or no Poke Balls, which is to activate the Daily Incense Adventure and get 30 free Poke Balls. A post by Redditor Leading-Commercial45 describes encountering an Axew before running out of Poke Balls. Asking if they "should spend $2 on Poke Balls," Redditors said it is really possible to get free Poke Balls with the Daily Incense Adventure if the player has 30 or fewer Poke Balls, Great Balls, or Ultra Balls, and one storage slot. The Daily Incense Adventure is a Pokemon GO incense that players claim every day for free. As well as increasing the spawn time of Pokemon by 15 minutes, this is the only way for players to find the Galarian Birds in Pokemon GO.

In the comments, some Pokemon GO players were amazed that they didn't know this information and questioned whether it was real. One Redditor shared a link from Niantic support confirming the 30 Poke Balls drop when activating the Daily Incense Adventure. While the tip is to help Pokemon GO players in need, others revealed that they don't have this problem. One player said they had around 450 Ultra Balls and 250 regular Poke Balls, and one commenter said they don't let their Ultra Balls dip below 2,000. A third trainer said they had 800 Ultra Balls until Pokemon GO's Adamant Time event, which gave triple XP for catching critters.

Although there are already five different types of Poke Ball in Pokemon GO, there are other Poke Balls that Niantic has yet to add. Introducing these Poke Balls would add a new spin to the experience of playing Pokemon GO, offering new possibilities for players to strategize.
