Niantic has introduced a significant update to Pokémon GO, addressing a long-standing request from the player community. As of December 26, 2024, Trainers can expand their Pokémon Storage and Item Bag capacities, allowing for greater collection and management of Pokémon and items.
Key Details of the Update:
- Increased Capacities:
- Pokémon Storage: The maximum storage capacity has been increased, enabling Trainers to hold more Pokémon.
- Item Bag: The item bag capacity has also been expanded, allowing for the storage of additional items.
- Implementation Date: This update went live on December 26, 2024.
- Accessing the Upgrade: Trainers can upgrade their storage capacities by purchasing additional slots through the in-game shop.
This enhancement is particularly beneficial for Trainers who participate in various in-game events and community days, as it provides the flexibility to capture and store more Pokémon without the immediate need for transfers. Additionally, the expanded item storage supports the accumulation of event-specific items, Poké Balls, and other essential resources.
