December 2024 Egg Lineup
The boosted incubator and gift capabilities enhance egg hatching, particularly for 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, with an XP bonus for hatching. These include Togepi, Tyrogue, Shiny Smoochum, Bonsly, Happiny, and Munchlax (all 2km).
Is the Ticket Worth It?
Daily PokeStop spins yield approximately 28 incubators, valued at roughly $4.20 USD. This nearly matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses. If you regularly purchase incubators or desire specific December Pokémon, the ticket offers excellent value. The extra gifts and XP are added benefits. However, if you're not focused on egg hatching or gift exchange, the ticket's value diminishes unless you highly prioritize the additional XP and Stardust.
