I am playing Pokemon Go using Google account 1. I then redeemed my Google Play gift card to the same account. Then when I try to go to the Pokemon Go shop, hoping to use the balance in Google Play account to buy coins, Pokemon Go shows the Google Play store page again, but with another Google account 2. This is the default account set in my Android mobile phone. How can I switch the account back to account 1 in Pokemon Go, so that I can use the balance inside the Google Play account 1?

Android phones do that when they only have 1 google account in them. If you have multiple accounts on a phone, a screen will pop up asking which account to login with.
So to solve this problem, just add any other google account from here:-
After trying out a few different solutions to this, I found that it is not on the app's side, but rather an issue with Google Play. Uninstalling the app completely and downloading it through the website (the app does not work I've found) under the other account will transfer it successfully, and this should work for all Google Play Games. Here is the website I found the solution from should anyone have the same issue. Happy Hunting!!!

I found a rather stupid solution -- remove all other Google accounts except account 1, i.e. the one used for playing Pokemon Go. Hope to see a better solution.
