Just in time for Christmas, somewhat. And if you have ever noticed, Pokemon GO is building up the festive mood, and it hit the highest for today. So that means...
Time to feel jolly tis' festive season with new baby Pokemon and more goodies to come! Then celebrate the end of 2016 with a blast!
Yes, new baby Pokemon! When you hatch eggs, there is now a possibly of them hatching up Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Magby, Elekid, Smoochum, and to stay true to the Pokemon anime, you may hatch up a Togepi! (sorry, no news of Tyrogue yet). From Christmas to January 3rd, 2017, you may see those things hatching more often. In order to speed up the egg hatching, when you visit your first Pokestop of the day, you'll get a single-use Incubator. Why hesitate? Time to get those eggs hatching!
Exclusive to the festive season, you may run into Pikachu wearing Santa hats. It is said that within the twelve days before Christmas, such Pikachu (and Raichu too) are more commonplace than ordinary Pikachu you see in the wild. However, they only linger before December 29th, so get yours before they vanish along with the winter!
Finally, from New Year's Eve to January 8th, you'll run into the Kanto starters and their evolutionary relatives more often. If you are desperate to evolve your Ivysaur, Charmeleon or Wartortle, that will be the perfect time to stock up those candies for them (and I don't understand why they are so elusive). Plus, Lure Modules will last up to 1 hour for that period!
Merry Christmas, and happy new year to all trainers in Kalos, Alola and all around the world!
