Is Pokemon GO December Eggs-pedition Access Worth It?

Pokémon GO's Eggs-pedition Access: A December 2024 Value Assessment

Choosing wisely from Pokémon GO's numerous in-app purchases can be challenging. This December, the Eggs-pedition Access paid ticket returns for the Dual Destiny season, prompting the question: is it worth the investment?

December 2024 Egg Lineup

The ticket enhances egg hatching, particularly 7km eggs. The December egg pool includes: 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 approximately 28 incubators, valued at roughly $4.20 USD. This alone nears the ticket price, excluding other bonuses. The ticket's value is clear for players frequently purchasing incubators or aiming for specific Pokémon. However, if egg hatching isn't a priority, or if weather conditions limit gameplay, the additional benefits might not justify the cost unless gift-sending is a major focus.
