Pokemon Go: How to Get Magnetic Lure Modules

Depending on the type, lure modules in Pokemon GO have various uses. Lure modules are unique to Pokemon GO and draw different wild Pokemon to PokeStops for 30 minutes. You and other players are able to locate and capture more Pokemon when these effects are active. Particularly the Magnetic Lure Module draws Pokemon of the Electric, Steel, and Rock types to surrounding PokeStops. Additionally, some Pokemon can only evolve while a Magnetic Lure Module is activated. The location of Magnetic Lure Modules in Pokemon GO is explained in this guide.

How to Get Magnetic Lure Modules in Pokemon GO

In Pokemon GO, you can purchase Magnetic Lure Modules from the in-game store. Go to the main Pokemon GO screen that displays your player model and tap the Pokeball at the bottom of the screen to open the store. The Shop icon is located in the middle from this point. After tapping here and scrolling down, you'll get a list of different Modules, among other things. This list includes the Magnetic Lure Module, which will set you back 180 to 200 PokeCoins, depending on where you live.

If you don't already have any PokeCoins, there are two basic ways to get some. The main way to get some is to use real-world money to buy them at the store. While the precise cost and quantity of coins available to you will vary depending on your location, you should expect to pay about 1 USD for every 100 PokeCoins, making the Magnetic Lure Module worth close to 2 USD. You can also get some coins by defending gyms if you don't want to pay actual money for them. For each hour you manage a gym in-game, you'll earn a few coins. This method doesn't require spending any money, but it will take several days to accumulate enough coins for the lure.

Last but not least, you can postpone completing any Pokemon GO Special Research assignments that award Magnetic Lure Modules if you want to try your luck. The lure module can occasionally be obtained in this fashion, along with rare candies, incense, pokeballs, and other miscellaneous things. However, it is not guaranteed.
