Further egg additions are expected throughout December.

Is the Ticket Worth It?

Daily PokéStop spins yield approximately 28 incubators, valued at roughly 4200 PokéCoins ($4.20 USD). This nearly matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses.

The ticket is a worthwhile investment for dedicated egg hatchers or those seeking specific Pokémon, especially if you regularly purchase incubators. The additional gifts and XP are added benefits.

However, if egg hatching isn't a priority or if weather conditions hinder gameplay, the ticket's value diminishes unless you heavily prioritize gift sending and receiving.

Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
