Pokémon Go: How To Get & Use A Magnetic Lure
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.

This doesn't happen very often, though, so it's not something you can do on a whim. You'll have to wait for a Research task that provides one as a reward, which could take a while.
It is possible to earn free PokéCoins by battling opposing Gyms and controlling them by placing a strong Pokémon in it. Trainers can earn six PokéCoins per hour and up to 50 a day with this method. 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
