How to get it
- Purchase the matching storage upgrade in the shop when your account is below the current capacity limit.
- Trainer progression can also award storage; the shop shows the capacity and offer applicable to your account.
How to use it
- Review which storage category is full, then purchase the corresponding upgrade.
- The additional space applies to that category only.
Worth knowing
Use these if you want to retain more saved locations. Removing a saved Postcard is a separate choice from opening its original Gift.
Maximum capacities can increase over time. Use the current in-game cap rather than an old total from a guide.
Postcard space is separate from Gift space
Postcard pages have their own storage system. Adding a page expands the collection of saved Postcards; it does not raise the number of Gifts you can carry or the daily number you can open.
If your goal is a collection of memorable locations, prioritize space for those saved cards. If your goal is more item drops or friendship interactions, a Postcard storage purchase does not remove those activities’ separate limits.
