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

Deciding which in-app purchases are worthwhile in Pokémon GO can be tricky. This December, the Eggs-pedition Access paid ticket returns for the Dual Destiny season. Let's examine if it's a sound investment.

What's Included in the Eggs-pedition Access Ticket?

Available from December 3rd, 10 AM to December 31st, 8 PM local time, the $5 USD (or equivalent) Eggs-pedition Access 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 Lineup

The boosted incubator and gift capacity significantly increase egg-hatching potential, particularly for 7km eggs. But are the December Pokémon worth the extra cost?

Is it Worth It?

Daily PokéStop spins yield approximately 28 incubators, valued at roughly $4.20 USD. This nearly matches the ticket price, excluding additional benefits. If you frequently purchase incubators or actively seek the featured Pokémon, the ticket offers good value. The extra gifts and XP are added bonuses. However, if egg hatching isn't a priority, or if weather conditions limit playtime, the ticket's value diminishes unless gift sending/receiving is a key gameplay element.
