How to prepare for the Winter Holiday Part 2 event in Pokemon GO

Managing Pokemon Storage

Like the previous part of the Winter Holiday event in GO, this one will feature a lot of Pokemon worth catching. So, you should make some space in your Pokemon Storage for them. Niantic has increased its maximum capacity, so you can keep more of your favorite Pocket Monsters in your bag at all times.

However, if you are a free-to-play player, you might not have the luxury of a large Pokemon Storage. As such, you can play this event, catch the Pokemon that spawn around you for XP and Stardust, and then delete the creatures that you do not have any use for.


Managing Item Storage

You might want to keep some Pinap Berries to build on your stack of Cetoddle Candies to prepare for this event. Besides this, you will not need any other Candies during it.

So, keep as many balls as you can since you will need them to catch Pokemon during the Winter Holiday Part 2 event in Pokemon GO. Great and Ultra Balls should be prioritized as they increase your catch rate, making it easier for you to capture Pocket Monsters.
