Pokémon GO's Eggs-pedition Access Ticket: December 2024 Analysis
Choosing wisely from Pokémon GO's many in-app purchases can be tricky. This December, the Eggs-pedition Access paid ticket returns for the Dual Destiny season. Let's determine if it's a worthwhile investment.
What's Included in the Dual Destiny Eggs-pedition Access Ticket?
Available from December 3rd, 10 AM to December 31st, 8 PM local time, this $5 USD (or local equivalent) ticket offers several benefits:
- Daily single-use Incubator (from first PokéStop/Gym spin).
- Triple XP for the first daily catch.
- Triple XP for the first daily PokéStop/Gym spin.
- Increased daily gift opening limit: up to 50 gifts.
- Increased daily gift acquisition limit from PokéStops: up to 150 gifts.
- Increased gift inventory capacity: up to 40 gifts.
- Exclusive December Timed Research awarding 15,000 XP and 15,000 Stardust.
December 2024 Egg Pool Overview
The increased incubator and gift capacity benefits egg hatching, particularly the 7km eggs. The December egg pool includes (but may not be limited to): Psyduck, Swablu, Bonsly, Shiny Larvesta, Litleo, Wimpod, Clamperl, Blitzle, Inkay, Skarmory, Munchlax, Riolu, Tyrunt, Amaura, Alolan Meowth, Shiny Alolan Grimer, Hisuian Voltorb, Hisuian Qwilfish, Galarian Corsola, Basculin (Red/Blue Striped), Galarian Farfetch’d, Pancham, Druddigon, Dreepy, Charcadet, Espurr, Turtonator, Jangmo-o, and Frigibax. The Young & Wise event (December 10-14) adds Togepi, Tyrogue, Shiny Smoochum, Bonsly, and Happiny.
Is the Ticket Worth It?
Daily PokéStop spins yield 28 extra incubators (a 4200 PokéCoin value, approximately $4.20 USD). This nearly matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses. If you regularly purchase incubators and aim to hatch many eggs this month, or desire specific Pokémon from the egg pool, the ticket offers good value. The additional gifts and XP are added perks.
However, if you're not focused on egg hatching or are limited by weather, the additional bonuses might not justify the cost unless you heavily utilize the gifting system.
