The contents of the Alola eggs in Pokémon GO have changed. The chance of encountering an Alolan Vulpix is now higher.
Trainers have researched: The community from TheSilphRoad has spent the last few days researching Alola eggs. They noticed that the distribution has changed since the addition of Alolan Diglett and Alolan Geodude. One Pokémon has even been completely removed.
Rattata no longer in Alola eggs
The research: On July 20, Alolan Diglett and Alolan Geodude were added as possible rewards for hatching 7KM eggs in Pokémon GO. Since that day, researchers from TheSilphRoad have hatched 450 fresh Alola eggs.
The results: This research has shown that the rarity values of the Pokémon from the Alola eggs have changed.
The chance of catching an Alolan Diglett, Meowth, Geodude, Sandshrew, or Grimer is roughly equal. The chance for these Pokémon as loot from a 7KM egg is about 19% each. The remaining 5% belong to Alolan Vulpix, which is the rarest monster in these egg rewards.
Goodbye: Rattata apparently no longer belongs in the pool of Alola eggs. During the research, not a single one hatched from an Alola egg. You can still find the monster in the wild. This should please many trainers, as Rattata was one of the monsters that frequently came from eggs. Players were already annoyed by getting the same monsters repeatedly.
More Vulpix = More Joy: The Alola form of Vulpix is one of the rarer finds in Pokémon GO. As the research from TheSilphRoad shows, the monster now appears more frequently as loot. The hatch rate has been slightly increased from 3.4% to 5%. Alolan Grimer is also coming out of the eggs more frequently now. Its chance has increased from 13.8% to 19%.
Ultimately, this change has brought more variety to the Alola eggs.
