Seen from afar, the PokéStops ressemblent à d’étranges structures cubiques. Mais lorsque vous êtes tout près, ils deviennent ronds, avec une apparence qui rappelle un peu celle des Poké Balls. 

Here's how to get Poké Balls from a PokéStop:

  • Approach the PokéStop,
  • Then press it to display the PhotoDisque,
  • Rotate the PhotoDisc by sweeping it left or right, 
  • The PhotoDisc will then generate objects, including the precious Poké Balls,
  • Touch the items to collect them, and they'll go straight into your inventory!

2. Participating in Pokémon GO Raids

In Pokémon GO, it happens that an Arena comes under the control of a special, but above all very powerful, Pokémon. Players must then unite to fight it! This is called a Raid combat.
