What's Included in the Eggs-pedition Access Ticket?

December 2024 Egg Lineup:

The boosted incubator and gift capacity significantly enhances egg hatching potential, particularly for the 7km eggs. However, the value proposition hinges on the desirability of the December Pokémon.

Here's a breakdown of the Pokémon available from eggs during the Dual Destiny Season and the Young & Wise event (December 10th-14th):

Is the Ticket Worth It?

Daily PokéStop spins yield approximately 28 incubators, valued at roughly $4.20 USD. This nearly matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses.

The ticket's value is maximized if you actively hatch eggs and desire specific Pokémon from the December pool. If you regularly purchase incubators, the added XP and gift benefits enhance the overall return. Conversely, if egg hatching isn't a priority, or if weather conditions limit gameplay, the ticket's value diminishes unless gift-sending is a key activity. Ultimately, the decision depends on individual playstyle and priorities.
