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

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. Let's determine if it's a worthwhile 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).
• 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.

December 2024 Egg Pool Overview

The ticket enhances egg hatching, particularly 7km eggs. The December egg pool includes (but may not be limited to): 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. A "Young & Wise" event (December 10-14) adds Togepi, Tyrogue, Shiny Smoochum, Bonsly, and Happiny.

Is the Ticket Worth It?

Daily PokéStop spins yield 28 incubators, valued at approximately $4.20 USD (4200 PokéCoins). This nearly matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses. If you regularly purchase incubators or desire specific Pokémon from the egg pool, the ticket offers excellent value. The extra gifts and XP are added perks. However, if you rarely hatch eggs or are less active during December, the additional benefits might not justify the cost unless gift-sending is a priority.
