Pokemon GO Mossy Lure Module: How to get, effects, and more

Pokemon GO has several unique mechanics. While some of them pertain to battles, others have to do with capturing Pocket Monsters. One special item in the latter category tends to boost the spawn rates of specific critters. Known as the Lure Module, this item is exclusive to Niantic's mobile game and was invented by Professor Willow, according to the game's lore.

There are six kinds of Lure Modules in Pokemon GO: Regular, Mossy, Glacial, Rainy, Magnetic, and Golden. This guide will focus on the Mossy Lure Module, which is based on the Moss Rock from the main series games and can be used for a couple of different reasons in the AR-based title. Here, you can find an overview of everything you need to know about this item.

Purchase it directly from the in-game shop using PokeCoins

The first method is the most straightforward and consistent way to get your hands on Mossy Lure Modules in the game. Simply head over to the shop and scroll down to find the collection of all Lure Modules. This particular variant is priced at 160 PokeCoins. This is the in-game currency and can be earned by defending Gyms as well as purchased using real-world money.

At the time of writing, the prevailing rate of PokeCoins in Pokemon GO is as follows:

• 100 PokeCoins – $0.99
• 550 PokeCoins – $4.99
• 1,200 PokeCoins – $9.99
• 2,500 PokeCoins – $19.99
• 5,200 PokeCoins – $39.99
• 14,500 PokeCoins – $99.99

Earning PokeCoins from defending Gyms is more convenient for free-to-play players, but it can take a lot of time, as the game allows you to earn a maximum of 50 coins every time you place one of your critters at a Gym.

The benefits of a Mossy Lure Module can be enjoyed by all players in the vicinity of the PokeStop where it is set up. The name of the trainer who implants it will be displayed to all players who spin that PokeStop.
