What is the distribution of items received from a Pokestop?
Like for example, what's the chance of getting a Great Ball? What are the probabilities if you've unlocked all the items, versus if a Great Ball was the last thing unlocked?
Best Answer
Based on a user's logs here for 3207 Pokestops (with all items unlocked), a rough estimate of the drop rates for items for Pokestops is as follows:
Since then, the drop rates have changed, as you can see here, however, the rates are pretty much the same, but with lower rates for Pokeballs and Revives and higher rates for Potions and Super Potions.
The results:
- Pokeballs: 599 (52.00 %)
- Great balls: 132 (11.46 %)
- Ultra balls: 37 (3.21 %)
- Razzberries: 82 (7.12 %)
- Total balls/berries: 850 (73.78%)
- Potions: 134 (11.63 %)
- Super Potions: 67 (5.82 %)
- Hyper Potions: 25 (2.17 %)
- Max Potions: 8 (0.69%)
- Total potions: 234 (20.31%)
- Revives: 62 (5.38 %)
- Max Revives: 6 (0.52%)
- Total revives: 68 (5.90%)

Visit Pok\xe9Stops and Gyms around the world to gather Pok\xe9 Balls, Potions, Eggs, and other items. You'll find these near great places that encourage exploration, exercise, or social interactions with others. When you visit Pok\xe9Stops and Gyms, spin the Photo Disc to generate items for your inventory.Are PokeStop items random?
Items appear at random. There seems to be no rhyme or reason behind which PokeStops have which items. However, it seems like some items will only appear after a certain level. For instance, after you reach Level 5 and are ready to challenge Gyms, you will receive Potions and Revives to heal your Pokemon.Do Gyms give better items than PokeStops?

Unfortunately, this information has not been officially released by Niantic, nor has it been thoroughly tested enough by current users to provide a concrete conclusion.
However, some preliminary tests have been conducted by interested users. Here are two examples of the most comprehensive unofficial tests I could find, which can be found here and here.
