1500 Bag Storage Strategy

With bag space up to 1500, trying to work out how to maintain a good ratio of items. I understand trainer styles are different, so providing my rationale next to the numbers I'm thinking of.

Max Revive: 200 (good for 30 battles in a hurry)
Max Potion: 10 (when they are low on HP but don't faint)

Ultra Balls: 500 (to increase chances during events/Gen 3/powerful non-legendary mon)
Poke/Great Balls: 50 (don't have PoGo plus & can easily access Pokestops)

Golden Razz: 200 (for legendary encounters)
Razz: 60 (for break-away non-legendary mon + gym feeding backup)
Nanab: 20 (for gym feeding)
Pinap: 150 (these burn out pretty quick during events/at nests)

TMs: 30 (may not be necessary to stock up beyond this?)
Rare Candy: 200 (for Gen 3 + legendaries)
Incense+Lure: 15 (not a big believer in these)
LuckyEgg+Incubator: 15 (just enough for batch 10K hatching)
Evolution Items: 50 (may not be necessary to stock up beyond this?)

Appreciate your inputs. Would also like to hear (preferably those who've maxed/intend to max to 1500) what your storage strategy is.

didnt maxed 1500, at 750 now intented to reach 1000 sometime soon.
Evolution Items: i would only keep 3 or 5 of each.
Incense+Lure: i'm level 36 and wont and never bought and never will reach 15.
LuckyEgg: i have 100 now, i've spent al my coins(earned in gyms) during the easter and solstice event, but i will never reach this amount again, so 10 is ok.
Max Revive: 200 is too much

Thanks for sharing.

I think I need to rethink my MaxRevives. Hmm. And 5 of each Evo Item sounds reasonable.

In paper that looks good but in practise, I don't think so. I live on a pokestop so I have constantly over 1400 items and this is my current set-up which I find myself happy:
100-150 poke balls
150 great
150 ultra
150 razz berry
130 pinap (they are piling up because I don't find anymore worthy pokemons besides the "common" rares)
75 golden razz berrys
69 rare candys
1 each evolve item
25 potion
75 super
120 ultra
160 max
205 revives ( I could throw some away)
115 max revives.

I stockpiled potions for gym rework and now I'm burning through my small potions to make room for more pokeballs.

Makes sense you're finishing off your smaller potions. Just 1 each of Evo Items? I'm paranoid I won't get more of the type I want....WHEN I want!

Why do you have so many red and blue balls? Go Plus?

That seems really difficult to maintain. Obviously the biggest factor is your play style, your goal, and location.

I think your ultra ball reserve is absurd, along with your lucky eggs, lure/incense, and evolution items.

There really isn't a reason to hang on to too many evolution items. Even with moveset changes, very few of the pokemon are actually usefull.

I also think your golden razz berry count is high. Remember, with raid bosses the number of balls is what is limited, not the berries. I have basically replaced razz berries with the golden ones. What I would stock up on is rare candy and TMs.

I hit over 10 raids today and took down a few gyms...here is my bag currently (1373/1500)...

248 Max Potions
196 Revives
88 Max Revives
3 Lucky Eggs
2 Incense (I normally don't buy any but I was in a place where nothing spawns)
2 Fast TMs
3 Charge TMs
202 Rare Candy
185 Poke balls
125 Great Balls
74 Ultra Balls
36 Razz Berries
109 Pinap Berries
89 Golden Razz Berries
2 Sun Stones
3 Metal Coat
1 Upgrade

If you hit pokestops regularly, you shouldn't have to stockpile a lot of those items.

The Ultra Ball reserve was a result of an old traumatic incident (back when DNites were harder to hit) with a 2902 CP Dragonite - wasted 70 Ultra and many Razzes - and it still fled. Made me think even 500 would be good only for ~10 mon on bad days (worst case scenarios). Also during events, I like to use Ultra and not waste my Pinap usage (that's how my Geodude candy is over 2500, for example).

Why so many red+blue balls? Go Plus?

I see you like MaxPotions!

You have a point about Evo Items. Thinking of bringing it to 3-5 of each.

Don't you think you'll stock up on TMs eventually?

Damn, that's rough...I can see ultra balls for pinap use, but during the fire event I used mostly ultra balls and only had around 130 to start with. I guess the big thing to remember is you do have the golden razz berry now, which will make pokemon much easier to catch, meaning it shouldn't take as many tries.

I just have that many pokeballs because that is what I end up with from spinning pokestops...I normally end up tossing the regular balls when they get up over 250.

I would love to stock up on TMs, but I'm not exactly lucky...those TMs are from today, which basically doubled my total TMs to this point...and I have done 97 raids...

I know it was an unverified leak, but didn't that Argentinean announcement say something about stocking up on Golden Razzes for legendaries?

97 Raids and only so many TMs! I better reset my expectations to avoid disappointment ? I was hoping it would average out to 1 per L3/L4 raid.

I'm at 1491/1500. My inventory currently is managed mostly for raids + legendaries.

I keep a low par for revives because raid rewards them constantly. I wish I had 200 max revives instead of 200 max potions but current inventory is slowly transitioning from old gym battle management.

I keep very low amount of balls because I'm constantly spinning stops and use them right away to catch mons for dust. I don't want to go below 50 ultras though.

Razz and nanabs and sometimes pinaps are used for feeding gyms. I don't need high par for this. Basically any common items from stops I don't stock pile them. Golden berries are common from raids so I use a lot of them with red pokeballs to catch mons to get that first throw xp bonus. All in all, it's a constant bag management struggle.

Rare candies are piling up and "had" to use some to make space. Btw, I wish rare candies didn't take space because it's taking up 1/3 of my bag.

This is a good discussion. I am up to 1150 and is more than manageable for now. After over 300 revives, I finally started throwing some away. Trying to figure what to do with my pinaps and am going to hit up a Machop nest a couple of times this week. Always use on Magikarp and now on any post evolved mon. Also, experimenting using pinaps on raid boss if I have over 11 premium balls. I also now use all razz to feed gyms. I keep about 5-10 nanabs for raid bosses and feed the rest to gyms. I found out today a golden berry fed to a gym provides max motivation.

I try to keep 100 ultra ball and am just under 80. I use the 20 & 50 potions right away all on attackers now. I save 200 potion and use them during raids. I usually run out sometime during the week.

I walk almost everyday still catching Pokémon. I use max balls selectively. Typical use great balls on anything over 400cps on the second throw.

I am building max revives for now and have 120. I don't like throwing thing away but seem revives are easy to earn through raids at least for now.

Until there is a need for revives, I don't plan to buy any more bag space until there is a sale.
