Pokémon GO has added new and different Lure Modules for the first time since the game's launch in 2016. This is another of the game's updates and newer features that expands on what the game was originally, bringing more aspects and Pokémon to the augmented reality game.
There are Mossy Lures and Glacial Lures which allow trainers to obtain Glaceon and Leafeon if Eevee is evolved within range, two new Sinnoh additions. However the Magnetic Lures, is proving to be the most frustrating for trainers in regards to collecting the Pokémon associated with it.
Each of the Lure Modules attracts different
Pokémon types and also allows you to evolve specific species.The Magnetic Lure
Pokémon, Magnezone and Probopass, didn't get so lucky as to also have a naming trick like Leafeon and Glaceon, unfortunately.
These two
Pokémon can only be obtained if you evolve a Magnemite and a Nosepass in range of a Magnetic Lure, also requiring the right amount of candy. The problem is that the only way to currently obtain these special Lure Modules is through the in-game shop. Costing 200 Pokécoins, the same price as an Item or Pokémon Storage Upgrade, a seasoned Trainer could max out Gym Defending for four days and not spend any real life money just to buy a single lure, but the play style isn't the same for all Trainers, with some more interested in simply capturing Pokémon.
It is most likely that Niantic will eventually introduce Special Research Tasks in which these can be earned, but for now its going to be a bit more difficult than usual to capture the latest additions. Community Days may be the best way to go in the meantime, with players allowed to hop on any Lure, even if it was put up by another Trainer.
