Pokémon GO's Eggs-pedition Access: A December 2024 Value Assessment
Choosing wisely amongst Pokémon GO's numerous in-app purchases can be tricky. This December, the Eggs-pedition Access paid ticket returns for the Dual Destiny season – let's analyze if it's worth the 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 Lineup
The ticket boosts egg hatching, particularly valuable for the 7km eggs. The December egg pool includes: Psyduck, Swablu, Bonsly, Shiny Larvesta, Litleo, Wimpod, Clamperl, Blitzle, Inkay, Skarmory (Adventure Sync), Munchlax (Adventure Sync), Riolu (Adventure Sync), Tyrunt (Adventure Sync), Amaura (Adventure Sync), Alolan Meowth, Shiny Alolan Grimer, Hisuian Voltorb, Hisuian Qwilfish, Galarian Corsola, Basculin (Red/Blue Striped), Galarian Farfetch’d (Mateo), Pancham (Mateo), Druddigon, Dreepy, Charcadet, Espurr (Adventure Sync), Turtonator (Adventure Sync), Jangmo-o (Adventure Sync), Frigibax (Adventure Sync), Togepi, Tyrogue, Shiny Smoochum, and Happiny. Note that the Young & Wise event (December 10-14) adds baby Pokémon to the 2km egg pool.
Is the Ticket Worth It?
Daily PokéStop spins yield approximately 28 incubators, valued at roughly 4200 PokéCoins ($4.20 USD). This almost matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses. The ticket's value is significant for players frequently purchasing incubators or aiming for specific eggs. However, if egg hatching isn't a priority, or if weather conditions limit gameplay, the additional benefits might not justify the cost unless gift sending/receiving is a key aspect of your gameplay.
