December 2024 Egg Lineup
The boosted incubator and gift capacity significantly enhance egg hatching, particularly for the 7km 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 adds baby Pokémon to the egg pool, including Togepi, Tyrogue, Shiny Smoochum, Bonsly, Happiny, and Munchlax (all 2km).
Is it Worth It?
Daily PokéStop spins yield approximately 28 incubators, valued at roughly $4.20. Considering the additional bonuses (XP, gifts), the ticket's value approaches its price. This ticket is a good deal if you frequently purchase incubators and actively engage with gifts. However, if egg hatching isn't a priority or if weather conditions limit playtime, the ticket's value diminishes unless gift-sending is a major focus.
