Is the special, ultra or adventure box worth it - January 2021
Here's a breakdown of the items in each box and the total value of each, including the total for the entire box. Like I said, they are always a great deal if you plan to purchase the items in them, so this is the short answer. For the long answer, keep reading below. Note: All items, including Poké Balls, are valued at what is billed in the store. There are ways to save on them outside of the boxes, and some can be obtained for free from Poké Stops, so keep that in mind.
Special Box - Is It Worth It?
- 2x Premium Battle Pass
- 2x Super Incubator
- 2x incense
- 30x Poké Ball
Value - 750 Pokécoins (including Poké Balls)
Cost - 480 Pokécoins
Savings - 270 Pokécoins
It's a decent but not great Pokémon GO box. This gives you a nice variety of items that are almost universally useful for all players. However, these are also items that most players have a lot of that come with higher value in other boxes, including the ones below. So if you are struggling for Poké Balls, it might be a good buy, but only if you have no other options.
Ultra Box - Is It Worth It?
- 30x Ultra Ball
- 16x Premium Battle Pass
- 4x Super Incubator
- 5x incense
Value - 2650 Pokécoins (excluding Ultra Balls)
Cost - 1480 Pokécoins
Savings - 1170 Pokécoins
A solid set, especially if you need more premium battle passes for GO Battle League or for raiding. Frankincense is always useful, especially when the COVID-19 pandemic measure is in place, providing better spawns. Most events now require the use of incense to get the most out of it, so getting five of these along with other very useful things is a great buy. Whether it's worth it for you or not, it really depends on those premium battle passes and their value.
Adventure Box - Is It Worth It?
- 30x Ultra Ball
- 13x Super Incubator
- 2x egg incubator
- 5x incense
Value - 3150 Pokécoins (excluding Ultra Balls)
Cost - 1480 Pokécoins
Savings - 1670 Pokécoins
The Adventure Box is generally worth buying for anyone who enjoys hatching eggs. With more 12k Eggs on the way and a pretty nice selection of Pokémon in the current Egg Pool for January 2021, you can have a lot of eggs that require a lot of walking. Tack on the Incense and a few Ultra Balls to catch the currently high leak rate Pokémon and you've got a great box worth buying for most players who like to hatch eggs.
So that's what we think about whether the Special, Ultra, or Adventure box is worth it. Keep an eye out for updates if the boxes change in January 2021.
