Players may search PokéStops to collect items and/or Eggs. To search a PokéStop, the player must tap on it, then spin the PokéStop's Photo Disc while within range. This will cause 3 to 5 items and/or Eggs to appear in bubbles that emerge from the Photo Disc. While it is possible to tap the bubbles to collect their contents, they will be collected regardless. In addition, searching a PokéStop gives the player 50 [[experience]] (PokéStop that has been spun by player for the first time gives 250 [[experience]]).
