I’ve hatched an event 2km egg... remoraid Hmm

I hatched my old 10k egg today - aerodactyl, not amazing. Also hatched a load of rubbish from 5km eggs. So far I’ve got four 10km eggs and the 2k one with the remoraid in from the event. Anyone know if there’s any spawn / hatch / eggs rate data for the event?

eyebrowsonfleek · 23/09/2017 18:37

I got a Slowpoke - meh!

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 23/09/2017 17:55

Hatched a Mareep from a 2k egg but that's the only one I've had. Have got two 10km eggs though.

Mrsmomo · 23/09/2017 17:47

Two cottonwool, I got a pine I and a togepi (new for me), also got 2 10k eggs. I'm using the super incubators too. Found an executor nest today, got 8 dropping off and picking up ds2 from a party :)

cottonwool125 · 23/09/2017 17:24

Anyone hatched a 2km egg from the event yet? Smile

Cleared out all of my eggs in preparation- so far, no 2km’s! Have got two 10km eggs today though, so that was something.

Just a note if you are buying coins, it's better value to buy the smallest amount at 79p, not sure why but Niantic don't believe in economies of scale...

wartortle · 23/09/2017 09:22

I did some rough calculations for my group tonight -

If you just want incubators (like me), the special box is your best bet as you'd get 9 incubators for 1,440 coins (plus 15 lures) - ie more than the big box.

If you're interested in the other items, the biggest box is the best as it's 64 coins per egg/lure instead of 70 plus 3 extra incubators. I did weight eggs and lures as equal value for the purpose of the box, and because it was 10pm (though I know eggs are slightly cheaper normally)

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 22/09/2017 22:55

MummySparkle Super Incubators are 1.5x faster, so:

• 2km are now 1.3km
• 5km are now 3.3km
• 10km are now 6.6km

And they are definitely 3 uses Smile

MummySparkle · 22/09/2017 22:47

What do the super incubators do? Are they twice as fast?

cottonwool125 · 22/09/2017 22:21

Just realised as well- the super incubators last for 3 uses. All of the rumours online said they would break after one! So that’s a nice surprise Smile

PickAChew · 22/09/2017 22:15

I've bought a special box. Might by another towards the ends of the event. Not fussed about lures, but can save them for an event where they'll be more useful. Still have 7 lucky eggs form when they were last half price after using one just after the event started. Only got 64KXP off it, though, despite registering Flaafy to my pokedex because the transitions between evolutions and pokemon details and then pokemon details and pokemon bag were really slow.

cottonwool125 · 22/09/2017 22:00

Even the ‘Special’ boxes look like they’re going to be great value. 3 standard incubators on their own are 450, so 480 for three supers and some lures seems good to me! Not fussed about loads of lures and lucky eggs. Will probably do the same as Wartortle and stick to the smallest box Smile

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 22/09/2017 21:15

I'll end up buying several Ultra boxes during the event Grin

And soon Reddit will do some research on which box is best value.

wartortle · 22/09/2017 21:12

These are my pics, two lower tier boxes. I think I'll buy special, not that interested in lures or lucky eggs and my bag space is quite low.

Not my pic, but the box contents

I allow myself one of the second coin packs per month, though I don't always buy one. If the boxes are decent, I might buy some coins, I have about 600 currently.

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 22/09/2017 12:11

I've done that too. I've got 2 eggs at 4k and one at 4/10. It may be counterproductive to hatch and swish pokestops until tonight. After 189k walking and HM training with Flaaffy as my buddy, anything to accelerate through the next 26 candies will be very, very welcome! He's a much much nicer buddy than grimer was, but even so Wink

It's been a while since I spent money directly in the game, other than £2.50 to top up my data allowance, but a certain forum aimed at parents is also a factor in that Wink

Most of my coins from gyms have been on upgrading item and pokemon storage in the last couple of months. I've not used many incubators in a while.

DoctorTwo · 22/09/2017 09:53

As Chansey and Mareep are going to hatch from 2km eggs I'm going to buy a couple of incubators and use them on 5km eggs to clear some space ready for the event.

MummySparkle · 22/09/2017 07:37

I’ve been clearing out my eggs. Went on a school trip to London yesterday, so that was lots of slow driving and millions of stops! Hatched a decent Onyx, but the rest were pants. My bag is full of potions now too

Annnnnndddd... Level 30 Grin I’ve waited so long for this! And 3 more incubators in perfect time for the event Grin

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 21/09/2017 19:06

What time will the event start tomorrow? It’s normally evening time, isn’t it?

Yeah, it's usually about 9/10pm Smile

BlooBagoo · 21/09/2017 17:44

I have plenty of space for eggs so roll on the event ones! Hatched a Mantine and Ponyta today, at least with the Ponyta it gave me enough candies for another Rapidash but I did swear at the Mantine.

cottonwool125 · 21/09/2017 17:21

I wonder how much the new Super Incubators are going to be on the store. I’ll be saving them for 10km eggs only!

Another quick post re problems with pairing my Go-tcha. I thought it had got hexed by niantic but all I had to do (iOS) was to go to system settings - Bluetooth forget Pokémon go plus

I found the answer on Reddit. Phew! The go-tcha is fab and Id have missed it if it wouldn't work.

PokemonGo · 20/09/2017 23:08

I've managed to get gold badges for three of my local gyms and the extra 3 bonus items is a better bonus that I thought it would be. I'm not sure why but it's very satisfying spinning the stop and get 6 or 7 or 8 or more items. It's made me more determined to get gold badges for my other local gyms.

They took roughly 13-15 days worth of defending, between 210 and 250 'victories' and between 230 - 400 treats. 🙃

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 20/09/2017 22:48

PokemonGo No worries Smile It could be either way!
