December 2024 Egg Lineup

Is the Ticket Worth It?

Daily PokéStop spins yield approximately 28 incubators, valued at roughly $4.20. This nearly matches the ticket price, excluding additional bonuses. If you frequently purchase incubators or desire specific December Pokémon, the ticket offers excellent value. The extra gifts and XP are added perks. However, if egg hatching isn't a priority, or if weather conditions limit playtime, the ticket's value diminishes unless gift exchange is a key focus.
