What to do when out of pokeballs?

[Shuhbooty]

So, I haven't played much pokemon go the last 3-4 days due to running out of pokeballs. I'm currently level 15 and I'm trying to farm Eevees. I have only one pokestop within my area (everything else is super far away). What do yall do when you run out? Do you pray to the heavens, CS (cash shop) or just wait? I'm SO eager to play, but it's rough. :/

EDIT: I'm also getting a glitch where it'll say I have 5 pokeballs but when I throw one or two it'll say I'
ll have none. IS that happening to anyone else?? When do you think they will ADDRESS that issue?? Main reason why I run out of pokeballs so quick.​

You could probably camp at that one PokeStop and just keep collecting every few minutes. I sometimes do that and watch Youtube videos while I'm waiting or something.

I've never heard of that particular issue with Poké Balls... I mean, it's super easy to run out of 'em, for sure, but mine don't decrease any more than I throw them. Maybe it's a bad connection and the game is registering multiple throws? Not sure, sorry.

As for getting more, you can either camp out at a spot and just keep getting them every five minutes (my gym is a stop, I grab 'em while on the treadmill), go somewhere that has more abundant stops, or buy them. I've broken down and purchased more when I wanted to play but was too impatient to go to stops. I'll admit that. Also, shameless plug for PC's social media, but we're currently giving away Pokécoins... See the announcements if you're interested. :)

I'm so shocked you've never heard of it! It's huge on my FB pages right now (and I didn't see it mentioned here on the forums yet, if so i didn't see the thread). I didn't take a video when I wish I did.. but it's de-plenished my balls, like, significantly three times (usually when I'm on my last 10 pokeballs it'll jump from 10- throw a ball instead of 9 it's 8 and so forth). When the game started my friend gave me a 15 dollar iTunes card that I shamelessly used on PoGo (which is what he intended the use for).

I did enter the contest! Like I said, I've been out of pokeballs for awhile and saw the giveaway so I'm hoping I can win. D;​

I tend to just buy them in batches of 100 when I run out. Usually lasts me about a week so it's not too bad. Usually when I'm sitting at a stop I have a lure going so I end up running out as fast as I can obtain them.. lol

You could either buy 20 Pokeballs for .99 cents or go hangout at a Pokestop for awhile.

I had the same problem last week, I had to wait it out until I could travel to work the next day and use some of the PokéStops on the way. Kinda sucked, but in order to avoid running out again, I took advantage of being near PokéStops and spammed them as much as I could.

I generally have alot of Pokéstops in a decent distance to me, I can catch a bus into town and it is full of Pokéstops and Lures.

I have brought the 20 Pokéballs though off the store before because... Lazy:pink_cry:

I don't run out often, but when I do, I just stop playing until I get a chance to go for a walk and hit some stops *shrug*

guess ya gotta pay

 

[Phoenixstarz]

when i run low i stop catching the really common ones until my stash increases again, im about a mile from the nearest pokestop but theres about 20 within short distance of each other from there. And i dont even bother with zubats or evolved pokemon since they are a waste of pokeballs

Depends on where you live really! If you live in an area with a lot of PokéStops you'll just have to step outside for a few minutes and you'll get plenty in no time. If however you live in a rural area with barely any stops then it's time to take out your wallet or drive into the city haha.

I usually just walk down the road, we have over 20 Pokestops in about 5km from my house. There's like 10 churches, funeral homes and public art pieces. And some have 3 pokestops each.


But right now I've stopped going to pokestops because I don't want to get more eggs before I can clear out the eggs I have. Usually I always have a full bag of eggs because you get one from every other Pokestop and they are always 2 or 5km and take forever to hatch one at a time.

I'm in the same position as you, where I haven't played Go in almost a week because I don't have any Pokeballs. There aren't that many PokeSpots near my house, and I don't have much time to camp out at many long enough to make a difference to my stock. I'm tempted to buy stuff from the store, but I'm reluctant to spend money on this game right now.

This too. I don't hatch eggs that fast, since I don't want to run down my battery/data. But if I go to PokeSpots to get Pokeballs, then I'll get more eggs than I have room for. So I have too many eggs and not enough balls.
