So, the total approximate value of the in-game items, plus the pin, is around $408. While at first glance the $100 seems rather steep, when you break it down like this it doesn’t seem so bad!
Of course, depending on how much you are willing to spend in-game, you can buy coin bundles that make this total cost less.
Our advice would be that you need to consider if the truly premium items are worth it, mostly the Super Incubators and the Premium Battle Passes, which total $249 in value for $100, then this may well be worth while. If you intend to grind eggs and raids, this is a cheaper way to do it, unless, other bundles become available in the mean time that offer incubators in large bundles. With bundles and prices varying between accounts, it is hard to say which will be more worthwhile, but we suspect this $100 add-on may still be the cheaper option if you value both Super Incubators and Battle Passes.
Expedited entry to the Pokémon Center is also a pretty good bonus, the queues can be long, and the supplies very limited, so if you plan to hit up the Pokémon Center, and use all these premium items, it’s a nifty bonus. We don’t advise spending $100 for expedited access alone of course!
