didnt maxed 1500, at 750 now intented to reach 1000 sometime soon.
Evolution Items: i would only keep 3 or 5 of each.
Incense+Lure: i'm level 36 and wont and never bought and never will reach 15.
LuckyEgg: i have 100 now, i've spent al my coins(earned in gyms) during the easter and solstice event, but i will never reach this amount again, so 10 is ok.
Max Revive: 200 is too much

1500 Bag Storage Strategy
With bag space up to 1500, trying to work out how to maintain a good ratio of items. I understand trainer styles are different, so providing my rationale next to the numbers I'm thinking of.
Max Revive: 200 (good for 30 battles in a hurry)
Max Potion: 10 (when they are low on HP but don't faint)
Ultra Balls: 500 (to increase chances during events/Gen 3/powerful non-legendary mon)
Poke/Great Balls: 50 (don't have PoGo plus & can easily access Pokestops)
Golden Razz: 200 (for legendary encounters)
Razz: 60 (for break-away non-legendary mon + gym feeding backup)
Nanab: 20 (for gym feeding)
Pinap: 150 (these burn out pretty quick during events/at nests)
TMs: 30 (may not be necessary to stock up beyond this?)
Rare Candy: 200 (for Gen 3 + legendaries)
Incense+Lure: 15 (not a big believer in these)
LuckyEgg+Incubator: 15 (just enough for batch 10K hatching)
Evolution Items: 50 (may not be necessary to stock up beyond this?)
Appreciate your inputs. Would also like to hear (preferably those who've maxed/intend to max to 1500) what your storage strategy is.

In paper that looks good but in practise, I don't think so. I live on a pokestop so I have constantly over 1400 items and this is my current set-up which I find myself happy:
100-150 poke balls
150 great
150 ultra
150 razz berry
130 pinap (they are piling up because I don't find anymore worthy pokemons besides the "common" rares)
75 golden razz berrys
69 rare candys
1 each evolve item
25 potion
75 super
120 ultra
160 max
205 revives ( I could throw some away)
115 max revives.
I stockpiled potions for gym rework and now I'm burning through my small potions to make room for more pokeballs.
That seems really difficult to maintain. Obviously the biggest factor is your play style, your goal, and location.
I think your ultra ball reserve is absurd, along with your lucky eggs, lure/incense, and evolution items.
There really isn't a reason to hang on to too many evolution items. Even with moveset changes, very few of the pokemon are actually usefull.
I also think your golden razz berry count is high. Remember, with raid bosses the number of balls is what is limited, not the berries. I have basically replaced razz berries with the golden ones. What I would stock up on is rare candy and TMs.
I hit over 10 raids today and took down a few gyms...here is my bag currently (1373/1500)...
248 Max Potions
196 Revives
88 Max Revives
3 Lucky Eggs
2 Incense (I normally don't buy any but I was in a place where nothing spawns)
2 Fast TMs
3 Charge TMs
202 Rare Candy
185 Poke balls
125 Great Balls
74 Ultra Balls
36 Razz Berries
109 Pinap Berries
89 Golden Razz Berries
2 Sun Stones
3 Metal Coat
1 Upgrade
If you hit pokestops regularly, you shouldn't have to stockpile a lot of those items.
The Ultra Ball reserve was a result of an old traumatic incident (back when DNites were harder to hit) with a 2902 CP Dragonite - wasted 70 Ultra and many Razzes - and it still fled. Made me think even 500 would be good only for ~10 mon on bad days (worst case scenarios). Also during events, I like to use Ultra and not waste my Pinap usage (that's how my Geodude candy is over 2500, for example).
Why so many red+blue balls? Go Plus?
I see you like MaxPotions!
You have a point about Evo Items. Thinking of bringing it to 3-5 of each.
Don't you think you'll stock up on TMs eventually?
Damn, that's rough...I can see ultra balls for pinap use, but during the fire event I used mostly ultra balls and only had around 130 to start with. I guess the big thing to remember is you do have the golden razz berry now, which will make pokemon much easier to catch, meaning it shouldn't take as many tries.
I just have that many pokeballs because that is what I end up with from spinning pokestops...I normally end up tossing the regular balls when they get up over 250.
I would love to stock up on TMs, but I'm not exactly lucky...those TMs are from today, which basically doubled my total TMs to this point...and I have done 97 raids...
I'm at 1491/1500. My inventory currently is managed mostly for raids + legendaries.
I keep a low par for revives because raid rewards them constantly. I wish I had 200 max revives instead of 200 max potions but current inventory is slowly transitioning from old gym battle management.
I keep very low amount of balls because I'm constantly spinning stops and use them right away to catch mons for dust. I don't want to go below 50 ultras though.
Razz and nanabs and sometimes pinaps are used for feeding gyms. I don't need high par for this. Basically any common items from stops I don't stock pile them. Golden berries are common from raids so I use a lot of them with red pokeballs to catch mons to get that first throw xp bonus. All in all, it's a constant bag management struggle.
Rare candies are piling up and "had" to use some to make space. Btw, I wish rare candies didn't take space because it's taking up 1/3 of my bag.
This is a good discussion. I am up to 1150 and is more than manageable for now. After over 300 revives, I finally started throwing some away. Trying to figure what to do with my pinaps and am going to hit up a Machop nest a couple of times this week. Always use on Magikarp and now on any post evolved mon. Also, experimenting using pinaps on raid boss if I have over 11 premium balls. I also now use all razz to feed gyms. I keep about 5-10 nanabs for raid bosses and feed the rest to gyms. I found out today a golden berry fed to a gym provides max motivation.
I try to keep 100 ultra ball and am just under 80. I use the 20 & 50 potions right away all on attackers now. I save 200 potion and use them during raids. I usually run out sometime during the week.
I walk almost everyday still catching Pokémon. I use max balls selectively. Typical use great balls on anything over 400cps on the second throw.
I am building max revives for now and have 120. I don't like throwing thing away but seem revives are easy to earn through raids at least for now.
Until there is a need for revives, I don't plan to buy any more bag space until there is a sale.
