If you can not find the Free Box, check whether your Pokemon GO app is updated through your respective app store.

Why is Pokemon GO offering free Item Bag upgrade?

Niantic announced on the Pokemon GO's official X channel that they were providing this limited-time free opportunity to reward their playerbase. The post read:

"In appreciation of our Trainer community, we are offering a free Item Bag upgrade that increases its capacity by 200, so head to the shop to claim your reward."

Hi, Trainers! In appreciation of our Trainer community, we are offering a free Item Bag upgrade that increases its capacity by 200, so head to the shop to claim your reward. This free offering will be available from today until November 30 at 11:59 p.m. local time.

The post comes on the heels of the Into the Wild event starting in Pokemon GO and ahead of the GO Wild Area 2025 Global, which will take place this upcoming weekend. The move is sure to go down well with the larger Pokemon GO community, with storage being one of the most common difficulties in-game for players. In the in-game shop, the 50 Item Bag upgrade costs 200 PokeCoins.
