Other I made a free calculator to check if a Pokémon GO shop box is actually worth it
Every time a new box shows up in the shop I end up doing the math in my head, so I built a small tool for it:
How it works:
- Enter the box price (coins, USD, KRW or JPY) and what's inside
- It compares the box with buying each item on its own at the cheapest shop bundle
- You get a verdict (Steal / Good deal / Fair / Not worth it) and how much you save
- Star ★ the items you actually use. It then shows what those alone are worth, e.g. "1,050 coins' worth for 1,480 coins"
- Share the result as an image (like the one above)
It's free, no sign-up, works on mobile, and is available in English, Korean and Japanese.
Item values are based on current shop prices. A few things the shop doesn't sell on their own (TMs, Rare Candy, golden berries) use estimates, marked with *.
If a price looks wrong or you'd like an item added, let me know in the comments!
