Is the Eggs-pedition Access Ticket Worth It?
Daily PokéStop spins yield 28 incubators, valued at approximately $4.20 USD (4200 PokéCoins). This nearly matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses.
The ticket offers excellent value for players prioritizing egg hatching, especially those seeking specific December Pokémon or regularly purchasing incubators. The added gifts and XP are beneficial additions.
However, if egg hatching isn't a priority, or if weather conditions limit gameplay, the ticket's value diminishes unless gift sending/receiving is a key objective.
Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
