Pokémon GO Items Guide: Inventory & Storage
The Short Answer
Inventory management in Pokémon GO balances essential catching resources (PokéBalls, Great Balls, Ultra Balls), recovery items (Potions, Revives), and tactical consumables (Berries, Star Pieces, Lucky Eggs, Elite TMs). Optimal play prioritizes Ultra Balls and Golden Razz Berries while clearing excess regular PokéBalls and standard Potions.

Core gameplay mechanics, optimal formulas, and mathematical breakdowns for Items & Inventory.
Catch Multipliers & Ball Economics
01Different PokéBalls and Berries apply multiplicative modifiers to base capture rate (BCR):
- PokéBall (1.0x) | Great Ball (1.5x) | Ultra Ball (2.0x) | Premier Ball (1.0x)
- Razz Berry: 1.5x Catch Multiplier
- Golden Razz Berry: 2.5x Catch Multiplier (guaranteed catch on shiny raid legendaries)
- Silver Pinap Berry: 1.8x Catch Multiplier + 2.0x Candy Multiplier
- Pinap Berry: 2.0x Candy Multiplier
- Nanab Berry: Calms erratic Pokémon movement and stops attack animations
Technical Machines & Bag Optimization
02Standard Fast and Charged TMs randomize moves within a Pokémon's current standard movepool. Elite Fast and Elite Charged TMs allow players to explicitly choose any move, including event-exclusive Community Day and legacy moves. Keep your bag lean by discarding standard Potions, Super Potions, and Nanab Berries, and capping Revives around 50-70.
