Is the Paid Eggspedition Access Ticket Worth It?

Daily PokéStop spins yield 28 extra incubators (assuming daily play from December 3rd), valued at approximately $4.20 USD. This nearly matches the ticket price, considering only the incubator benefit. Additional XP and gift bonuses add further value.

This ticket is recommended for players who:

• Frequently hatch eggs.
• Desire specific Pokémon from the December egg pool.
• Regularly purchase incubators.

However, if egg hatching isn't a priority or if weather conditions hinder gameplay, the ticket's value diminishes unless gift sending/receiving is a significant gameplay aspect.

Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
