I visit the same 14 Pokestops every day and get very poor results. I get more potions, revives, and RazzBerries than you can shake a stick at. When I get eggs, 3 out of 4 are 2km eggs. Getting more than 1 pokeball is satisfying, and getting a great pokeball is thrilling. I've gotta an ultra pokeball just once. So, that's how 100 Pokestops per week has gone for me.

Today, I got the chance to visit a Pokestop I've never been to before, and I got 2 ultra pokeballs and a 10km egg!

Are all Pokestops treated as the same? Or, will Pokestops you've never visited before give you a chance for better results?

From personal experience, no there does not seem to be a difference. I have a Pokéstop in range of my desk, so I can collect it periodically throughout the day, and there is no pattern to what I receive. Sometimes I get 5 potions, other times I get 3 ultra balls. It is pretty random assortment of different combinations of items received. When I go to different places and collect stuff from Pokéstops there, I notice no difference in what I receive. It is all pretty random, and I have visited Pokéstops over 1000 times.

  • Anecdotally: I also have a stop that I can reach from my desk and I feel like I've been getting fewer items recently, but I'm not sure if I'm just imagining it

  • @JimMouer I haven't noticed it personally. I still seem to get the same amount of stuff each time.

  • It might very well be in my head. I'm just not sure if anything else became more frustrating after the last update

  • I remember reading once that more notable landmarks give more items on average, but I can't find it now, and I don't know if it was true. Some stops do seem like they give more items than others, but it could just be coincidence.

  • @Kat, I haven't been to any places that are super notable, such as the Statue of Liberty or anything, so I cannot personally attest to whether they do or not. However, I don't see why they would. Everything I have seen on Pokéstops from what has been datamined suggests only one type of Pokéstop.

It doesn't seem to matter if you have ever visited a Pokestop before, but apparently you do get a bonus if you hit 10 unique stops in a row. On the tenth stop, you will get extra items, double xp, and an egg if you have room.

I'm not sure how reliable the source is, so if anyone can confirm or deny through their own testing, that'd be helpful. I'll test it too as soon as I get the chance.

The game does not usually give extra rewards for visiting new Pokestops. That is, there is no chance that just visiting a new Stop will give you more items.

However, if you visit 10 unique stops in a row (within 30 minutes), you will be granted significantly more items and XP for the last Stop.
