Is the PokeCoin Bounty Ticket in Pokemon Go Worth the Money?

In conjunction with the start of Pokemon Go’s Max Out season, Niantic has launched an event aimed at giving players extra PokeCoins and other bonuses throughout the month of September.

Ever since the announcement of the Daily PokeCoin Bounty on August 30, players have been discussing the potential value of the bundle. This includes determining whether the tasks required to maximize its value are worth the effort.

Below is a detailed list of what is included in the initial stage of the Pokemon Go PokeCoin Bounty, and whether it is a worthwhile investment or better off ignored.

Should you buy the PokeCoin Bounty Part 1 ticket?

If your only goal is to increase your stock of PokeCoins, then the $4.99 price for the PokeCoin Bounty is not worthwhile.

Despite the potential to earn more in-game currency, the effort required to meet the prerequisites is not worthwhile.

Prior to calculating the figures, all items included in the package are listed here.

Timed Research awarding 200 bonus PokeCoins
One Field Research task the first time you log on each day that awards 20 bonus PokeCoins
3x XP for your first catch of the day and your first spin of the day
Open up to 50 Gifts a day
Collect up to 150 Gifts a day from PokeStops and Gyms
Hold up to 40 Gifts in your item bag at once

Every bonus is included with the $4.99 ticket.

Please take note that if you choose to pay the entry fee, it is essential to have no more than three active Field Research tasks before the daily reset in order to receive the event research each day.

Completing the daily research every day until October 2, when the event ends, will earn you 600 PokeCoins. This, combined with the 200 coins received from Timed Research, will give you a total of 800 PokeCoins for $4.99.

If you were to go to Pokemon Go’s in-game store at this moment, you could purchase 550 PokeCoins for the exact same cost. This means that you will receive an additional 250 PokeCoins as a bonus. Considering the effort and dedication needed to earn the entire amount, it is advisable to leave this Bounty on the shelf.

However, if you are interested in purchasing XP boosts and less restricting Gifts, this offer may be a worthwhile investment. Ultimately, the decision is yours to make.
