Pokémon GO's core loop — catching Pokémon, gyms, and raids — is playable without spending; PokéCoins mainly speed up storage, incubators, and raid passes rather than gate the game outright.

Pros
  • Catching Pokémon, gym battles, and exploring are all free
  • No purchase required to play daily
  • Massive established player base and events
Cons
  • Some players say a battle pass and event tickets shifted the game toward pay-to-progress
  • Bugs, crashes, and lag reported after recent updates
  • Item storage and raid passes are capped for free players and refill with real-money coins
