Pokémon Go's Easter Eggstravaganza event details - new Egg list, bonus Stardust and Candy explained
Here's what changes during the Easter event:
- Introduces new creatures in 2km Eggs
- Increase Candy drops from all Egg hatches only
- Double Stardust from all sources, with Star Pieces doubling again for 4x gains
- Limited store boxes including Star Pieces and Super Incubators
The headline activity in this seasonal event is that a "greater variety of Pokémon" will start appearing in 2km eggs.
So far there's no confirmation of which new Pokémon are set to appear, other than the Wynaut and Ralts mentioned in the official press release and the Magby and Togepi in the official imagery. There's also a mention of an "increased hatch rate for Pichu and Togepi," so expect all of the baby Pokémon to be in 2km Eggs, then, at the very least.
We'll update this page when we have a confirmed list, but for now we do know which Pokémon were added to 2km Eggs last year, at least. Here's the full list, so you have an idea of what we can (hopefully) expect:
- Aerodactyl (usually 10km)
- Dunsparce
- Eevee (usually 5km)
- Elekid (usually 5km)
- Girafarig (usually 5km)
- Grimer (usually 5km)
