For those curious about obtaining a Magnetic Lure Module in Pokemon Go or looking for the optimal time to utilize one, all the necessary information can be found below.

How to Obtain a Magnetic Lure Module in Pokemon Go

The most convenient method of acquiring the item in Pokemon Go is by buying it from the in-game shop for 200 PokeCoins.

One can opt to purchase PokeCoins using real money as the most convenient method. Alternatively, placing a Pokemon in a Gym controlled by your team can also earn you PokeCoins for free (more details on this can be found here).

Magnetic Lure Modules can be acquired through completing Special Research stories or Timed Research tasks. The current Strength of Steel event includes a Magnetic Lure Module as a prize for successfully completing all tasks. However, it must be claimed before the event concludes on July 30 at 8 pm local time.

Which Pokemon evolutions require a Magnetic Lure Module?

Three different Pokemon are capable of evolving through the use of this module.

Magnezone (from Magneton)
Probopass (from Nosepass)
Vikavolt (from Charjabug)

To evolve these Pokemon, it is necessary to be in the vicinity of a PokeStop where a Magnetic Lure Module has been activated. This can be done independently or by locating a PokeStop where another trainer has activated the lure.

The duration of a single module in Pokemon Go is limited to 30 minutes, or may last slightly longer during special events. Therefore, it is important to have enough Candy in order to obtain the desired evolution.
