The Magnetic Lure is a single-use item in that attracts specific types of Pokémon, specifically Electric, Steel, and Rock-type creatures, to a PokéStop for a 30-minute duration.

Therefore, you would need to ensure that you're able to maintain different Gyms over four to five days without fail to earn the amount required to
