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

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, prompting the question: is it worth the 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).

December 2024 Egg Lineup:

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

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.

2km Eggs (Young & Wise): Togepi, Tyrogue, Shiny Smoochum, Bonsly, Happiny, Munchlax.

Is the Ticket Worth It?

Daily PokéStop spins yield approximately 28 extra incubators, valued at roughly $4.20 USD. This nearly matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses. If you regularly purchase incubators or prioritize hatching many eggs and desire specific Pokémon, the ticket offers excellent value. The added gifts and XP are additional perks. 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.
