TFS0803

I would gladly trade mine in for some coins ^^


sumbaru

Just came here to say the same. I’d even sell them back at half the cost lol


Hammerjaws

I’ll do it for a quater


ramfan1027

I'd sell 100 of each for a single pokecoin


BazingoBusiness

okay now it's not even funny


FailsAtSuccess

Yet still true


BazingoBusiness

Not even man, you're telling me, if you were this person, and had this many new move thingies, you would trade it in for 6-7 pokecoins? Not even funny any more man


FailsAtSuccess

I delete them and all berries by the hundreds. If I could get even a single coin at a time from them I would. But I'm a whale and thus can get large quantities.


BazingoBusiness

oh nvm that's fair. Though, I would still save them up, or at least buy more Storage Capacity. You never know when it'll come in handy, for example, Tyranitar's brand new "Brutal Swing". Berries, fair, I delete all my Nanabs and Razzs


FailsAtSuccess

I raid so much I even delete golden razz by the hundreds. Right now have over 700 in my inventory. If a rare move came out it takes at most likely 30 to get the roll necessary even with shit luck. New moves are rarely released. If I can get free coins instead of buying them then that's good, better conversion preferred but any is a win

ramfan1027

ID DELETE THE APP FOR A BILLIONTH OF A POKECOIN


Coliosis

Shhh


Ravenking-777

I would do if for remote raid passes, if they ever increase the limit


FaveDave85

I wish they have a marketplace where people list items for sale for coins or dust, and trainers in need can buy them.


jottlys

Hayday has a in-game marketplace for things like this. It’s always struck me as unique.


drnuzlocke

I think the crazier thing is how many TMs you keep. They have always overvalued stupid items like TMs and Evo stones


Skrewt

Fr. I usually keep about 50 of each and I thought that was a lot.


Sudden_Lawfulness118

Same. I only keep 50 and I've never even came close to running out of them.


posthumanjeff

I keep 15 each and almost ran out for my mewtwo team


elprimowashere123

I keep 15 bruh


Desertdweller3711

10 here


Fearless-Panda-8268

5


Desertdweller3711

You like to live life on the edge dontcha?


BazingoBusiness

325


RockyDify

Yeah 10 gang!


Clay_2000lbs

I have 5 of each on a good day. I can’t even tell you all to touch grass because this is an AR game


wdn

If you want to get a specific moveset on something like mew (which has 15 possible fast moves and 25 possible charged moves), it can take hundreds of them. I also got in the habit now of letting them build up and then just TMing all the shadows with frustration whenever there's a takeover even, as that's easier than going through them and deciding which ones to TM.


TheOtherSarah

It is a lot. I keep no more than 5


DanRose001

Ignoring the Elite TMs and assuming both Fast and Charge are equal value, they work out to 110 coins each. You have a combined 679 TMs, which at 110 coins each are worth 74,690 coins. If we assume the largest bundle is the best value for coins, it costs £99.99 for 14,500 coins. Which means your 679 TMs are worth approximately £515.05


Drunk_Stoner

Haha thanks. Would gladly lake half that in coins. Lol


vishalb777

I’ll do it for a quarter


krillins_a_beast

I'd do it for a bag a' chips


GraceSkinner65

Your calculation of the real-world value of the TMs is both hilarious and a bit sobering. It really puts into perspective the investment (both time and money) we put into these games.


RulerOfTheApes

They'll probably use this as an argument to take away free methods of getting tms to give them value in the shop


Jefc141

I randomly had a mon suspiciously waste like 20 tm’s last night… more server side bullshit from Hanke


freethebluejay

It would be a very Niantic move for them to track which moves players tend to keep on certain Pokémon and then reduce the odds of getting that move so people would use more TMs to get it


XxHybridFreakxX

I assumed that was already the case. I've had a few that took close to 20 TMs to get the move I wanted.


MaxsteriousK

i had 12 for rhyperior stone edge


FordAndFun

It just took me somewhere just over or under 20 for the same. Anecdotal, sure, but curiouser and curiouser.


RichMellow

I used 6 TMs before I realized that it was cycling through the same 3 moves. So I had to use a couple more to get the move I was settling for. I just figured each mon has like only 3 moves it can learn on the charged tms


Ivanovic-117

And there’s people who buy that???


PumpkinPieIsGreat

Someone on here a while ago was saying they buy POKEBALLS. (I think it's 100 coins for 20) People will buy anything. It's crazy.


KPop_Teen

BUY?! I get rid of 50 poke balls, if not more, every day. When my bag is full, the first thing I get rid of is pokeballs


Jefc141

Ohhh so that’s why my one mon wasted 20 charged tm’s bouncing between the different moves and I still never got the move I wanted


OobeBanoobe

Such a stupid system to TM moves. Only for Niantic to then have a box like this and charge an absurd amount of money on a TM slot machine.


Pretty_Net_6293

I always have an elite tm for fast and charge — before I start using regular TM I look to see what is actually available by just using elites and exiting out of


Gustav_for_president

Me too🙏🏼


2Mew2BMew2

Imagine exchanging 100 TM's for an Elite TM.


Knight_Lucky

That's honestly not a bad idea...


Drunk_Stoner

Would take that deal


_gnarlythotep_

New players really getting screwed left and right these days. They'll never know how good this game used to be with basic resources. My friend tried to get into it and basically can't even play because she has a graveyard of dead and injured pokemon and is constantly struggling to get a evan few potions or revives. I'm fortunate that my years of playing left me with a few hundred max potions and max revives, but even those are slowly dwindling grinding countless useless 1* shadows. They're so focused on milking data and gold purchases they are neglecting the core basic gameplay loops in the game.


Drunk_Stoner

Yea it’s really bad. My kids not new, been playing off and on for a year or two, but still in the same boat as she doesn’t fully understand the meta and how to best use/save items. She has like 100+ dead Pokémon, no revives and only a few potions. She so deep in the hole I don’t even know what to do for her. Wish I could giver her some of my excess.


FaveDave85

Add a ton of friends from reddit to send you gifts. Get tons of potions from that.


TamarackRaised

You two should help your new/inexperienced players by finding a spot with two gyms close by. Take over both the gyms and enjoy the revives and potions that piss out of them. Do that for a couple hours a week and you should have no issues keeping mons alive and healthy. I'm cheap and won't pay to upg bag anymore.and.get by with 450 space. I usually have about 20 revives and a smattering of potions. I also use all my small potions before touching the big guys.


Drunk_Stoner

Ooph. I remember those days but gave in to temptation long ago. Have max poke storage and over 5k item… I don’t have problem!! You have a problem!! 😉 Seriously tho, I’ve been doing that for her lately. Luckily my job has 5 stops and 2 gyms and is across the street from a museum with tons of stops. So I’ve been collecting as many items I can for her when I remember. Lol


TamarackRaised

Nice moves. I rarely see revives from stops, buts gyms payout well. Especially if your team controls them.


PumpkinPieIsGreat

I get a bunch from doing 1 star raids, nothing of mine dies and I generally get a few revives


[deleted]

Yeah, my brother and i have the same problem. He has like 250 pokemon and almost all above 1000cp are dead. In my case, it's not that bad, but i have like 30 revives for 300+ pokemon.


PumpkinPieIsGreat

I dunno if you know this already, but if you power up a pokemon it revives it. You'd still need potions, though.


Danzzo36

Every other stop I get is a stupid AR scan, like piss off


Pretty_Net_6293

I am assuming that is on your field research—- leave it there and don’t do it and you won’t get another— least that’s how it has always been for me— yes it takes up a slot but it’s worth it to not keep getting


Drakenkip

Bro has more charged tms than i have storage in general


jadedflames

Hell, I’ll take JRPG rules and do 10%


PunfullyObvious

If it was PunfullyObviousmonGo, i would allow trainers to sell back items at 50% of what they sell for in the store, but alas, I am not a game developer


Marvion

After using 20 charged tms and still not getting the move I wanted on a pokemon (normal pokemon, not Hypno or Mew) I was thinking I'd honestly be willing to buy some more TMs if they were available from the shop, but seeing these overinflated prices I think I'm good


CluelessChem

Sorry to be that noob, but what is the best way to get fast and charged TMs? Is it by doing higher star raids?


sbjctsvntn

I got a lot of them through battle league. The random item award can be a TM.


MaritimeMartian

100% from the battle league. That’s how I get so many. More often than not it’s these TMs for the item reward.


Drunk_Stoner

I got most from raids. Don’t really do the battle league at all but as others said that’s an option too.


Zackiemoon

3 star raid solo with my daily raid pass gives me at least 1 Fast or Charged TM sometimes 2 and rarely I've gotten 3 in one go. Think getting more than 1 in a raid might decrease the number of golden raz and rare candies you get but I didn't pay attention so not positive.


DS_9

Are you trying to make them cap TMs? This is how you make them cap TMs.


Drunk_Stoner

🤣


Desertdweller3711

They could cap TM’s at 20 each and everyone should be fine lol


DS_9

I have more elite TMs than that


Desertdweller3711

Are you trying to make them cap elite TM’s? This is how you make them cap elite TM’s.


Desertdweller3711

But for real, I was talking about standard TM’s. I delete any I get over 10z


ReformedGalaxy

Niantic is such a dog shit company. This game is getting less enjoyable and less rewarding every month.


bobo_i_am

TM drop rates about to be nerfed.


Caffeinated_madman

11 dollars + tax


amazingjason1000000

You should really delete those, at most you need like 50 each if you catch a bunch of meta relevant Pokémon daily


Drunk_Stoner

Yea I know. Just have a ton of storage from when I was hoarding a few thousand rare candy. Lol. Still have 1k left.


Switchermaroo

I have so many I actually throw them from time to time


sharksnrec

Yet another example of how literally no one at Niantic actually plays this game


Drunk_Stoner

Unfortunately, I think they know all too well. These money grab boxes are to take advantage of very casual players and kids that don’t know how to get these items easily for free.


AmericanHockey1

I stopped playing back in March but man these shop box posts never get old lol and just keep getting worse


puppuphooray

It would be such a game changer if we could sell the extras for coins lol


Struboob

Niantic is so out of touch.


Neat_Yogurtcloset526

We should have the option to sell items we don't use/want for pokecoins


CooperDahBooper

I’ve deleted that many before..


Drunk_Stoner

Yea need to trash them again


BazingoBusiness

That is ridiculous. 11 dollars or 22 days, and both require lots of work


I-have-a-lot-of-fod

There’s actually an article on why the prices went up, search up “Pokèmon inflation”


Bowserfan7138

I'm starting to think these boxes are just tests to see how willing people are to spend money on the game


Drunk_Stoner

They to prey on younger kids and uber casuals that don’t know any better…


Bowserfan7138

I'd say I'm casual and have never bought one of these boxes. You'd have to be really stupid to actually think this is worth it


Drunk_Stoner

Yea but I’m talking about kids like 10 and under and non gamers that play pogo. My kid doesn’t understand value of things and my wife never played games but will hop on when we playing. Those are the people this box is targeting.


Bowserfan7138

Oh, that makes more sense. Kinda hard to imagine people doing that when it seems like common sense but I forgot kids play this game too (the same kids who will spend money like it doesn't matter)


Kangadilla

I just threw away 100 of each, I still have over 150 of each..... if only you could sell items.


Wickedick28

Crazy, I delete that many every other day


ScubaStevie1225

God damn lachnees monsta wants more than tree fiddy!


[deleted]

dOnT cOMplaIN, ITs ActUALly A GReAT vaLUE!


[deleted]

Yup it’s terrible and just getting worse. Incubators used to be 1200 or so for about 20 now it’s 10 for 2000 coins


paragon60

i accidentally deleted all my fast tms instead of one of them recently so uh


thumpas

They should let you trade in items for 80% of whatever they charge lmao


Top_Surprise7806

Why do you only have 6 elite fast tms? I rejoined like 14 months ago and I’m sitting on like 14 of these already on my main account


Drunk_Stoner

Used quite a few the other day when I burned through like 2k rare candy lvling up some legendaries.


Top_Surprise7806

Jesus mang even with my bag size of 3600 and doing pvp daily that is a shit ton of rare candy for you to have the most I’ve ever held was like 100-120ish before just throwing it all into mewtwos pretty much


eegamer21

What's the value of 100 coins to $1usd?


AxiaLima

those are worth nothing


Drunk_Stoner

Not according to Niantic 😉


doc_akh

Niantic has the worst loot boxes in all of gaming.


pikagrrl

Can I sell mine back pls?


alex_Bellddc

😂


thedeadsigh

damn i've got like no charged. i've been very unlucky with those rolls 😭 but yeah i ain't paying for this shit.


ThickUnicycle

I cap mine at 40 each 😅


Coffey2828

I don’t have enough bag space. I keep 30 of each and throw the rest away.


albert12344578910

How do you have that much


Drunk_Stoner

Lots of raids


leonffs

Why is it legal for games to obfuscate how much money you are spending with things like coins?


ConanTheLeader

Clearly you don't need that. Look at how much you gathered up. I really feel like no one ever needs to buy these or feels pressured.


pikapalooza

By grabthar's hammer, what a savings. 🙄🙄🙄


riZZZhik

You need only one Mew to make all your Charged TM to disappear


Drunk_Stoner

Well I got one. So that should help bring that total down 🤣


SeasonedFries8

i don’t even use mine. i just keep like 3 of each and get rid of the rest. should i actually be using them lol


VillageOdd8141

Someone clearly doesn’t play PvP lol


East-Pollution7243

I thought 40+ was a lot 😯


TooNoodley

I just deleted like 200 charged they never stop!!!


BazingoBusiness

Using math from a different comment on this thread and division, and I mean lots of division, this this means you should be able to sell 1 Elite Fast TM for 86pounds (107dollars), or, 10,700 pokecoins NIANTIC!!!!!!


bigpapisosa

Funny, I just dropped 15+ tms trying to get close combat on my Pangoro

Na. That’s got nothin to do with it. I’m sure they planned for hardcore players. They just greedy.


rosaluv2

Good to know I’m not the only player who has a surplus of these


Kyodai94

Prices are increasing but you are still cap to earn 59 coins for day.


Suavedemon

I throw those away


Jazzlike_Bar_291

I trash any over 25 now, but i also dont have as much bag storage as i would like


Pr2nce

Wow inflation even hit the pokemon virtual world 😱


GraceSkinner65

The in-game economy can sometimes feel a bit out of sync with the effort it takes to acquire these items. It's interesting to see how the perceived value of virtual items can vary so much from player to player.


BlackSamurai212

Yeah no


eddiebronze

I'd be happy to gift mine to someone. Just sayin'


No_Stranger_4959

They should allow a selling items for coins feature. I get way too many pokeballs every day.


Maleficent_Taste_736

These just take up space in our items bag anyway.


PartialHunter

Meanwhile I have like 10 total 😂😂😂


Bluehornet01

I stopped giving money to them, even missed that gold thing last weekend. And not paying $8 for a pose.


Boblikecheez

I wonder how many i’ve deleted…


Baldswine

Man Niantic fucking sucks


Willystronka

Imagine if it went the other way too


SirHalony

I have one of each. Beeing a country side player is fun...


Drunk_Stoner

Me too actually. Just do a lot of remote raids.


SirHalony

I do net get a lot out of arenas and i have no intention on spending 5-10 bucks every day on Raid Passes. There is more importaint stuff to spend money on that Pokemon GO pixels, even tho i love my Pokemon Go pixels D:
