You can now find many new monsters from Generation 3 in Pokémon GO. The developers are helping with the discovery using special eggs.
Since January 23, 2018, you can find additional Pokémon from the Hoenn region in Pokémon GO. Some of the Gen-3 Pokémon were introduced by Niantic during the Halloween event in 2017. More appeared in December. Now another “release wave” has occurred, unlocking a bunch of new monsters.
To help you quickly add these to your collection, the developers are offering a special in-game feature.
Special Gen-3 Eggs
For a limited time, every egg you hatch in the game will yield a Pokémon from Generation 3. This change was announced by the Pokémon GO team on Twitter and resulted in positive reactions from trainers. They are excited about the many new Ground and Rock-type Pokémon.
“Hatch now, trainers. For a limited time, every egg you hatch will yield a Pokémon that was originally discovered in the Hoenn region,” the tweet says.
However, consider that only the eggs you receive after the start of this event (i.e., the Twitter announcement) are eligible. Eggs that were already in your inventory or incubator prior do not count. The contents of the eggs are already determined when you get an egg into your inventory.
How long this event lasts is still unclear. Trainers speculate it might end on February 1, since the date aligns well with the special item offering currently in the shop.
Super Incubator in the Shop
Until February 1, 2018, you can find the Super Incubator in the Pokémon GO shop. For a price of 200 PokéCoins, you can purchase one of these incubators with three charges each. Eggs in the Super Incubator will hatch at 1.5 times the speed.
This way, you can get the Gen-3 monsters from the special eggs even faster.
The trainers have been active and researched which new monsters were introduced in the latest update. These 23 Pokémon from Generation 3 can now be found in Pokémon GO.
