December 2024 Egg Lineup

The boosted incubator and gift capacities enhance egg hatching, especially for the 7K eggs. But are the December Pokémon worth the investment?

2KM Eggs: Psyduck, Swablu, Bonsly, Shiny Larvesta, Litleo, Wimpod.

5KM Eggs: Clamperl, Blitzle, Inkay, Skarmory (Adventure Sync), Munchlax (Adventure Sync), Riolu (Adventure Sync), Tyrunt (Adventure Sync), Amaura (Adventure Sync).

7KM Eggs: Alolan Meowth, Shiny Alolan Grimer, Hisuian Voltorb, Hisuian Qwilfish, Galarian Corsola, Basculin (Red/Blue Striped), Galarian Farfetch’d (Mateo), Pancham (Mateo).

10KM Eggs: Druddigon, Dreepy, Charcadet, Espurr (Adventure Sync), Turtonator (Adventure Sync), Jangmo-o (Adventure Sync), Frigibax (Adventure Sync).

Young & Wise Event (December 10th-14th): This event focuses on baby Pokémon and features an egg-hatching XP bonus, adding: Togepi, Tyrogue, Shiny Smoochum, Bonsly, Happiny, and Munchlax to the 2KM egg pool. Further event additions are possible.

Is the Ticket Worth It?

Daily PokéStop spins yield 28 incubators (assuming daily play), valued at approximately $4.20 USD. This nearly matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses.

The ticket offers excellent value for dedicated players who frequently hatch eggs or purchase incubators. The extra gifts and XP are additional perks. However, if egg hatching isn't a priority, or if weather limits gameplay, the ticket's value diminishes unless gift-sending is a key activity.

Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
