How to use the widget for eggs in Pokémon GO
What is the widget in Pokémon GO? It is a small feature for your smartphone that allows you to track how far you are with your eggs on your home screen without having to open the game. It lets you know when something is fully hatched and allows you to quickly add new eggs to the incubator.
This is what the widget looks like:
How to use the widget: It depends on your operating system.
- On iOS, tap on an empty area of the home screen until the apps start to wiggle. Now tap the
Plus
in the top left, then you can add new widgets. You will find the widget for Pokémon GO there. - For Android, tap on a blank area and click directly on “Widgets”. Choose the widget for the eggs and place it on the home screen.
The first three eggs that you hatch through this will get the quarter hatch distance. So make sure to take 10-kilometer eggs to save as much distance as possible and only have to walk 2.5 kilometers for them.
Which Pokémon does “Smoldering Steps” bring?
Shiny Ignivor debuts: For the first time, you can obtain Shiny Ignivor in Pokémon GO. However, since the regular Ignivor is already very rare in eggs, the shiny variant will also be hard to get. Nevertheless, for collectors, it is likely to be the most exciting Pokémon of the event. It appears in 2-, 5-, and 10-km eggs.
Additionally, the following Pokémon will appear (possible shinies marked with an asterisk*):
- In 2-km eggs: Fukano*, Schneckmag*, Hunduster*, Magby*, Ignivor*
- In 5-km eggs: Hisui-Fukano*, Flampion*, Lichtel*, Ignivor*, Leufeo*
- In 10-km eggs: Ignivor*, Tortunator*, Knarbon
What else does the event bring? In field research, you can encounter Schneckmag*, Leufeo* or Tortunator* and in a limited research, you will receive various Pokémon encounters as well as stardust and XP. And if you want to know what else is coming up this month: Here are all events in June 2024 in Pokémon GO.
